Rocket Languages review criteria
Rocket Japanese: it's been two (April 14.) months since the Rocket Language app for iOS has been updated and since I am not able to use it anymore as it is not possible to write in hiragana/katakana anymore. I contacted support, got (after days - and weeks) assurance that it will be taken care of - yet the "bug" update 2 weeks ago did not address any of my clearly communicated (screenshots and screenvideo) problems. If you work on iOS (iPhoneX & iPad Pro, latest firmware) do not download this app - it is NOT working as advertised.
A word to the support... promising an update and therefore a working app might "quiet" the user but it is contraproductive to take no action at all.
I'll be happy to re-review my feedback once I am able to use the app again. Until then... 1 star.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Susie - We were having an issue with the length of time that it takes for an app to get approved by Apple (up to a week), which meant that any bugs took a while to get sorted. Apple have been working to reduce this time, especially for minor bug fixes.
I am on my third day of learning Japanese, and so far I am very satisfied with Rocket languages. Before I bought it I researched the best software for learning Japanese, and this was at the top of many lists. I am confident that I will become fluent in Japanese through Rocket Languages! If i were to say something constructive, it would be that I wish there was a written version of the audio lesson underneath each recording. I like to take notes while listening, and being about to visually see the lesson would make that easier.
this feels like it actually teaches you how to learn the language if you put for the effort and do what it instructs. ive tried other language learning sites and they feel like theyre just teaching you words while this site teachers you sentences and their structer.
Rocket languages certainly gives such in depth lessons into Japanese, and really helps it stick into your brain like no other program can do. The interactive audio lessons help you learn pronunciation and some of the cultural aspects of the language as well.
I've been using Rocket Languages for three days now. So far, I've been satisfied. My concern with self-studying was that I didn't have any conversation partner. I wanted to have a conversation partner online but I didn't think that we can have meaningful conversation since I'm only a beginner. However, the interactive audio course helped me out. I can practice a conversation while correcting my pronunciation and accent just based on what I've been studying. Other than the interactive audio course, I'm also pleased with the comprehensiveness of the whole program, from Premium Level 1 to Platinum Level 3. I've browsed and asked customer service about it; I can reach C1 with the whole program. Since my goal was to use Japanese in business, this was a really nice. Looking at the course material from Premium 1 to Platinum Level 3 and based on my 3-day experience, I can definitely reach N3 or maybe even N2/N1 with the program.
This course of studies is undoubtedly the best that I have come across regarding distant learning. I can recommend rocket languages without any hesitation to anyone who wants to learn a foreign language .Congratulations kenny and Siaka over your teaching skill! (O JOZU DES NE!)
This is a great product at a great price. I am impressed with the layout of the dashboard and the voice recognition. It has exceeded all my expectations.
I like the unlimited access online and I can practice anywhere, anytime.
This is awesome...I mean this is the ideal site for learning Japanese..Its easy,cool and sufficient. People are gonna love this when they use it. I can hardly find any words to express my pacification. For now...arigato and sayonara.
I love Rocket Japanese!
I've been studying Japanese for a few years now and the biggest problem I always had was that I had to keep switching between several different books, audio CDs, and computer courses in order to get a FULL education.
It was incredibly frustrating when I would finish a book or course and not feel like I had learned very much that I could actually use. Then I found Rocket Japanese - Thank God!!!
My two favorite things are that it covers ALL aspects of Japanese (speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture) and also that there is an enormous amount of material. I invested in all three levels and it was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to learning Japanese.
Bottom line is this: if you are truly serious about learning Japanese then you NEED Rocket Japanese. I highly recommend it to everyone who asks.

I've used Rocket Languages for two languages now (Korean and Japanese) and have yet to regret either purchase. Rocket Languages is, in my opinion, a straight-forward and effective interface for all of my language needs.
I even use the program to brush up on advanced Spanish skills from time to time and have seen good results in a reasonable time frame. No doubt one of my better investments of both time and money!
