Pros and cons of Mirai Japanese app for iPhone and iPad

Mirai Japanese app good for

Entertaining, and it doesnt seem that hard to learn. Just finished the first chapter and loved it!
I really liked the methodology! I could make sentences right away.
the only downside is the pretty useless vocab-repetition feature. use of other flashcard-apps like "aki" etc. is advised for vocab-reps.
…that allows a newbie to get into Japanese pronounciation slowly - I was surprised how she spoke "konban" i.e. Nice step by step lessons
This app has really good lessons and a very nice app design. The lessons are rather short with not too much new vocabulary for each lesson. Nice voices and clear pronounciation. You can switch between romaji and kana and everything works good even if you turn off the sound (so it is still useful on the bus or subway)
Im a language teacher and other apps to learn Japanese lack in structure and logic but this one is very good. The reason why I only put 4 stars is because there is not advanced course. Please update soon!!!!!

Some bad moments

I like this app but unfortunately since a recent update it crashes about 50% of the time when I press the play button to start a new lesson, please fix and will update my review! Some more advanced leas sons would be nice too ;)
I used this app to get the ball rolling on learning Japanese it did the trick for language basics. Since then I use it from time to time to practice writing and this is the second broken update in a couple months its stuck on install again! Fix this overpriced broken app now!
Excellent app for beginners. Love the format. But if youre anywhere near the level of JLPT 3 or above, dont bother yet. They dont have enough content. Also, 3 emails went unanswered- "contact us" has no right being there.
I bought the app about a year ago, and now its turned into a subscription type; now my purchase is like it never happened. wasted money.
