For all students

Photograph a page of your own book. That’s all you have to do.

Kinami reads it and makes the rest: a summary, the words worth learning, exercises to try, a practice exam, and a few games.

Your first chapter is free.

How does it work?

Four steps, and the slow one is taking the photo.

1

Photograph the chapter. Or just type what you want to study.

2

Kinami reads it and picks out what matters.

3

You get something to read and practise for the exam.

4

Keep at it until the exam, and see how ready you are.

Inside a chapter

All of it comes out of the pages you photographed.
Same words, same examples.

Main points

Each one has a small exercise attached. Take it one piece at a time.

Key terms

Explained the way your own book explains them.

The full summary

Read it, or have it read to you at whatever speed suits.

A mind map

The whole chapter on one page. Handy the night before.

A checkpoint to pass

Each part ends with a question. Answer it correctly and the next part opens.

Practice exams and games

For when you want to go over the lot in one sitting.

Ready for the exam

The questions come the way a real exam asks them, written answers included. Those get marked, with a note on what was missing.

Practice exams

Multiple choice, fill in the gap, matching, and the kind you have to write out yourself.

Exams you can print

Some people just want it on paper. Fair enough.

Quick checks

Drag and match, or a fast run through the terms. Five minutes is enough.

The exam date

Put it in once. Kinami counts down to it and nudges you on the way.

Play your chapter

The questions in the games come out of the chapter you are on.
Playing is studying too.

Three games

15 Questions, the Guessing Game and the Game Show.

Stop whenever

It waits where you left it, same question and all.

Stars and levels

Stars for right answers. Spend them on clothes and accessories for your character.

Your own character

Stars from right answers buy hats, jackets, shoes and more. Dress them however you like.

Two characters

A bunny and a fox. Choose one and make it yours.

A new pick every level

Level up and you get to choose another item.

Where stars come from

From exercises, games and exams.

Stuck? Start here

Two ways to get going again. Neither one hands you the answer.

Homework help

Photograph the page you are stuck on. You get one hint, then two more if you still need them. They point at what to try next.

Ask a question

Pick a subject and ask whatever is on your mind. The answer comes back short and pitched at your school year, and you can ask a couple of follow-up questions.

Tap any word

In a language chapter, tap a foreign word and hear how it is pronounced.

Say it out loud

Tap a word and it is read back to you, with what it means underneath.

Japanese, Korean, Chinese

The pronunciation sits right beside the characters.

Have a conversation

One sentence at a time, and the app answers it and asks you questions.

When to stop?

An evening of studying should end at some point.
Kinami is decent at saying when.

A timer

The timer also tells you when it is a good moment to take a break.

Your timetable

Import it once. After the school day you get a reminder to do your homework.

A home screen widget

Today’s lessons and the days left to the exam, without opening anything.

For families

One device, several kids, and everybody keeps their own.

Separate profiles

Own school year, own language, own stars.

Progress tracking is off

It stays off until somebody turns it on. Turn it back off and the history is deleted, not just hidden.

For the grown-ups

Tips on helping your child with their studying.

Why your own book?

Most study apps

  • Content someone else wrote
  • Words your lessons do not use
  • Examples that will not be on the exam

Kinami

  • The chapter your teacher set
  • The words your lessons use
  • The examples you will be asked about

More and more schools put phones away during lessons, and that is fine. Kinami was never meant for the classroom. It is for studying on your own, after school.
