genki-study-resources VS Kotoba

Though I'd recommend getting a textbook like Genki and just working through the exercises in there. That way you'll learn gramar and put it into use right away, so you wont forget it. Plus the exercises are fun! There's audiofiles and everything. You can also do the exercises here https://sethclydesdale.github.io/genki-study-resources/lessons-3rd/

There's also an online web where you can practice Here

Genki still remains one of the best ways to cram Japanese into your brain effectively. Someone even digitized the genki workbook so you can do it online

And for reviews/quizzes, and other practices: Genki Study resources Genki 3rd

I found Seth Clydesdale’s genki quiz website more beneficial.

You should buy the answer keys and workbook. However, there is a great online resource here https://sethclydesdale.github.io/genki-study-resources/lessons-3rd/ which has most of the exercises available and checks the answers automatically for you. So you may be able to save money and skip the workbook and answer key if you want.

Exactly and I don't know why more apps don't do this. I wonder if it's against App Store guidelines to make a dictionary app based on the built-in dictionary.

There are a lot of dictionary apps out there but as usual most developers miss the forest for the trees. I don't know why there's still not a single dictionary app that is blazing fast, use the built-in dictionary and have some common sense design choices (literally not came across a single dictionary app that doesn't enable keyboard as soon as you open it -- it's a dictionary app, why do they think I open the app?!).

Kotoba (https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba) is almost perfect but there's no way to download it from the App Store and I don't want to deal with the hassle of sideloading on iOS as a non-developer.

nice, thanks for info I realized that it would be even better to somehow take information from LookUp dictionaries and save to the app but I guess it will be not possible. I did some research and found this lib: https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba it uses dictionary API somehow to translate things, maybe this would help to get definition/translation for saved vocabulary to the app but in general things gets complicated here :D in ideal I would love to have an object of key (vocabulary) - value (translation) pairs and then export it to csv from there I found out that Quizlet app have feature to import from file it would be ideal way to fast generate flash cards to learn vocabulary
