Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I found this really useful at the beginning paired with how laid back the multiple choice feels... But I would recommend using Renshuu the way I did to any beginner.
- I want to chime in here and say Renshuu was perfect for me at the very beginner stages doing Kaishi 1.5k, but not for these reasons. I wanted to get through that vocab list as quick as I could do I could start immersing (and mining with...
- Renshuu's first N4 grammar lesson says てくれる is for friends/family and て上げる else.
- Go Renshuu route if you want an all-in-one app.
- There's better apps out there like Renshuu (free; unless you feel like supporting) ... if you want a better experience than what Duo offered
Cons
- Parent context: What is the purpose of ため in this sentence from renshuu? The translation is: “I checked hotel prices (in preparation) for the trip next year.” Reply: There seems to be a typo. It should be 来年の旅行「の」ため、 ... Honestly I feel...
- You can't understand this without context, this application is shit.
- Renshuu is great but it does take a bit of fiddling with the Mastery Schedules to get it the way you want. I had to increase my quiz size and "max new terms" cause it was barely giving me anything when I started.
- Gotta agree with Renshuu. It's just so well-detailed and full of info albeit a bit overwhelming to use and learn from at first.
- Parent context: This for example, I need to guess the definition of this word. I might not recognize it with just the hiragana but when I click show kanji it will show the kanji and then I know it’s the word for hot. Reply: don't use it...

I want to chime in here and say Renshuu was perfect for me at the very beginner stages doing Kaishi 1.5k, but not for these reasons. I wanted to get through that vocab list as quick as I could do I could start immersing (and mining with Anki), with the least friction possible. Renshuu was ideal with it's multiple choice format, and the study vectors where you're either picking English from the reading, English from the Kanji, or the other way around for either.
Parent context: What is the purpose of ため in this sentence from renshuu? The translation is: “I checked hotel prices (in preparation) for the trip next year.” Reply: There seems to be a typo. It should be 来年の旅行「の」ため、 ... Honestly I feel like this example sentence is not exactly the best way to illustrate this.
