In the press

There aren't many applications out there that let you practice particles and do this good a job at it.
The Japan Times
NihongoUp suits my playful and inquisitive nature. I always want to see if I can improve upon my top score.
The particles game is NihongoUp's ace up the sleeve. If you're going to buy NihongoUp, this is the section to do it for.
The excellent kana practice and counters drills are the best I have seen to date and are worth the asking price alone.
