One card, several memory cues
Connect Japanese spelling, a picture, pronunciation, meaning and an example. The point is to recognise and use the word, not only memorise an isolated translation.

See it. Hear it. Read it in a sentence.

01 / What each feature solves
JLPT Vocabulary N5–N1
Swipe, then check with a quiz
Swipe right for familiar words and left for uncertainty. Follow with meaning and reading questions: feeling familiar is different from recalling the answer.
Mistakes return to the workflow
Missed words reappear in later practice, and previously studied words return for review. It reduces manual list-making; it does not promise that forgetting disappears.
Study by context or word type
Choose a level, one of 13 contexts, a part of speech, favourites or mistakes. Target the vocabulary you need rather than restart an entire course.
Make use of time at your desk
Auto-advancing cards show readings, meanings and examples. iPhone widgets can also appear on the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy; iOS still controls widget refresh scheduling.
No account; search and prepare for offline study
Search in Japanese, kana, romaji or Chinese and save words. Download the relevant pictures and audio before going offline. Progress lives on your device, so keep a backup when moving devices.

A good fit
For learners who want ready-made JLPT-level content, illustrated cards, audio examples and a clearly bounded one-time purchase.
Consider another tool
This is not a general-purpose Japanese dictionary, a speaking tutor or a complete JLPT listening-and-reading mock-test course. Combine tools when those are your main needs.

FAQ
Before you download
Is 10,291 an official JLPT syllabus?
No. It is the number of entries in this product, organised by level for study—not an official promise of complete exam coverage.
Can I use it without a subscription?
Yes. N5 and kana are free, and N4–N1 use a one-time purchase instead of an auto-renewing subscription.
Do pictures and audio work offline?
Download the relevant media while online first. Assets that have not been downloaded will not become available simply by going offline.
Don’t other apps also offer review and widgets?
They do. Aptenyo’s proposition is the combination of ready-made N5–N1 illustrated cards, pronunciation, examples, swipe-and-quiz practice, free N5 and one-time unlocking—not exclusive ownership of those features.
How it compares
MOJi emphasises dictionary and word-list use. Migii covers a broader set of exam skills. Aptenyo Vocabulary focuses on choosing a level, learning the cards and returning for review, without an account requirement or subscription.
