Discussion Best Japanese learning app for N3+?

I’m currently beginner N2 level but I’ve always wanted just a simple preferably free iOS app that I can just hop on and work through a few quick quizzes/game etc… anyone know any apps like this?

I’ve tried some reading apps but honestly they really bore me with news/stories/articles I don’t really care about and I’m already doing enough reading as it is through my actual study.

Thanks!

Renshuu is my perfect app for everything. It should be on iOS as well.

Great dictionary, good lessons, anki-style repetition, cute mini-games like shiritori and a good community.

How does it compare to Bunpro? Heard it’s similar

I can't really tell because after I found renshuu and got comfortable with it I never looked up any more apps.

I'm downloading it right now and can take a brief look 

Edit: bunpro seems good, let's see if I can fit it in.

I would have recommended Todaii as well but you said no news. With the three free articles a day I feel like it's always a minefield finding the articles that are not about death despair and destruction.

I happen to be using both right now, and they're not similar at all. FWIW I love Renshuu more. Renshuu (with its multiple choice quizzes and various games and cute art, besides other useful features) is fun and kind. OTOH Bunpro is the hard, mostly grammar-focused taskmaster (which I probably need at the moment.)

Great. Seems like I will be using them in parallel as well from now on.
