(Make sure to check out Rikai Browser to see how these 2 apps work together to boost your working vocabulary!)


Japanese Flash is a must-have vocabulary builder that puts all your flash cards into well-organized topic lists.  Hats off to the developer for putting together some amazing, robust lists for flash-card study.  Just a few of the vocabulary lists include:
  • JLPT vocabulary
  • Specialist terminology lists!  (baseball, martial arts, linguistics, technology, sciences, politics)
  • Male & Female Expressions
  • Slang
  • Humble & Honorifics
  • Local Dialects
  • Interjections, conjunctions, adverbial nouns, and other grammatical-function words that are tough to track down!
Loads of study sets and further word sets in the folders.



These features also give it a nice touch touch of polish:
  • Search in English or Japanese.
  • "Bury it," feature lets you mark vocabulary as mastered and remove it from circulation.
  • Multiple user profiles.
  • Import your own custom lists from Rikai browser.
  • Feedback and updates.  It’s great to find a developer who is in touch with the user community, listening to suggestions and implementing updates.  They are building a community with in-app feedback, and Facebook and Twitter connections.
Compare to Japanese Flip.  I like and use both, because each offers a different pace & difficulty level with the frequency of flashcard appearance.



Target the right word with specialist vocabulary.



They've programmed an excellent challenge algorithm to fit your learning needs and pace.

Choose the level that fits your learning needs.

Really comprehensive vocabulary lists.
