Konnichi ha:
When will this App be ported to a Java .jar file? Or as a BlackBerry application?
Domo, Sesu yori.
We have no plans to port it outside of the iPhone environment at this time. But thanks for the suggestion.
That’s a shame, many who don’t have/want an iPhone would love to be able to use the app…
it should be ported to black berry or imate friends….is it???????????
We will look into the feasibility of porting to BlackBerry
Only in i-phone, How about the other cellphone like Softbank 933SH, possibly???/j
This is awesome! I’m downloading it now. Thank you so much! Would love to have a Kanji learner too.
Not yet…
I bought it and it’s very simple and helpful. I have a problem, though: I only seem to get hiaragana, not katakana. When I finish all 46, I get a screen saying Done, and four buttons , labelled 1 , 2 , 3 and 4. But I press and get nothing. The settings can change the test type but not move to katakana.
This is the Kana Trainer Deluxe.
