Questions

More help on the support page.

Do I need to know any Japanese?

No. The path starts with the vowels あいうえお and moves at your pace.

Do I need an account?

No. Everything is saved on your iPhone; if you delete the app, your progress goes with it.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Only song videos need a connection; without one you can still read the lyrics and hear each line.

Is there an Android or web version?

For now KanaGO! is iPhone-only (iOS 17 or later).

How do I add a widget?

Touch and hold your Home Screen, tap “Edit” → “Add Widget” and search for KanaGO!. On the Lock Screen, touch and hold it and tap “Customize”.

Are the mock tests official?

No. They are practice questions in the JLPT format; the certificate is a keepsake of your progress, not an official result.

What data does it collect?

None. Details are in the privacy policy.

Your first kana
is waiting.
