What’s New Version 1.1
KANAPOW 1.1 — new powerups!
• WORD COMEBACK — words you've looked up come back for a rematch. Can you still read them?
• KANA HUB — mnemonic cards, drills, and a mastery chart that fills in as you learn.
• KATAKANA — sound out coffee, taxi, and ramen, beat by beat.
Type a word and watch the kana come alive — KAPOW!
Description
Kanapow is the fun, comic-book way to read any word in Japanese. Type a word and it pops into kana — broken down mora by mora, manga-style, with a sound effect that makes it stick. (It's a manga-flavored word-breakdown tool, not a manga reader.)
Type a word. Kanapow shows you:
• The natural Japanese translation (kanji where it helps)
• The full hiragana reading
• A mora-by-mora breakdown with romaji for each beat
• Tap-to-hear pronunciation — the whole word or each mora
• A playful, manga-style sound effect for the word
Built for learners, not lectures. Every lookup is a tiny, satisfying reading lesson with a comic-book feel: bold panels, big friendly kana, and playful sound effects.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• English to Japanese, instantly, with kana + romaji
• Mora breakdown so long words stop being scary
• Pronunciation playback for the word and every mora
• Word Comeback — words you've looked up come back for a self-graded rematch
• Kana Hub — mnemonic cards, drills, and a mastery chart that fills in as you learn
• Hiragana AND katakana — sound out coffee, taxi, and ramen, beat by beat
• Searchable history — revisit and review past words
