Umi - Language Learning

Friends recommended me Umi - and this is why I can for sure say I have good friends. The app is gorgeous, from a very good user interface, to some splendid learning performance!

The idea of the app is great: studying vocabulary with the help of short clips from Japanese movies and series, which give authentic examples of the words usage. But a few things are quite annoying: there are a lot of wrong and misleading furigana so that the kanji will be pronounced differently in the clip. Also most of the clips are pretty badly cut and beginning parts or ending parts of the sentences shown are being cut out. Sometimes the clips are cut so badly that you don’t understand the sentences at all and I’ve also reported many clips already that are entirely different from the sentence. But apart from these issues I can only recommend the app. There are also updates all the time so I hope we’ll have some improvements for the problems mentioned above.
