Community Insight:
Accurate and very well made, amazing job.
This is the most fun app ive played it shoukd get more attention on ios we knoe on android its very popular we love karuta since we live in america there is relly no karuta club so this app makes us express ourselves thanks :).
This is the most beautiful karuta app Ive seen and its a great simulation of an actual game. However we cant hear the audio despite changing the settings which is rather disappointing. Not sure if this is an iOS-only issue since the Android version seems to have very positive reviews.
