Bunpo is a short-lesson language app. Lessons mix grammar, vocabulary, and speaking practice. You can use iOS, Android, or a desktop browser. Starter lessons are free. Bunpo’s website says Platinum unlocks the full catalog and includes AI-powered Video Call practice. The US App Store also lists Plus purchases, but the checked listing does not explain their limits. Check the plan in your store before paying. The site describes spaced-repetition reviews.
Bunpo’s website lists ten languages. Its iPhone listing says more than ten and includes Dutch. Check the language and device you plan to use.
The name is easy to mix with Bunpro. Bunpro is a Japanese grammar retrieval product. Bunpo is a multi-language lesson app. Do not run both as your grammar job.
Who it fits
It fits people who want a phone-sized Japanese course with grammar explanations, not a paper book. Keep one course. If Genki or Irodori already owns the week, Bunpo is a second syllabus.
Limits
The official FAQ publishes marketing figures this profile does not repeat. Confirm current trial, Plus, and Platinum terms on bunpo.app and the App Store listing. It does not replace reading or a JLPT past paper. For exam grammar on paper, use TRY! or Shin Kanzen Master.
