- Includes detailed statistics for tracking your progress

- Dynamically scales up and down in difficulty based on your current accuracy

- Includes pronunciations and an optional speech-only mode to ween yourself off English

- Innovative "Shake to Pause" feature enables KanaSwirl to automatically pause when you drop your phone. (Like, onto your face. Not that thats ever happened to me!)

- Universal app so you can review on your iPhone while waiting in line or on your iPad sitting in your comfiest chair

- No Japanese knowledge required! KanaSwirl is a great place to start. If youre already on the path, its an entertaining complement to any study program.
