WaseiGo

32 comments total (top 25 shown), but only 2 directly concern the app — both from the Product Hunt launch. The maker explains the premise: Japanese has 1,000+ English-looking words with different meanings (コンセント/consent = power outlet, カンニング/cunning = cheating on a test), and WaseiGo teaches each via a short illustrated dialogue, native audio, and a guess-before-reveal quiz; first 50 words free, remainder a one-time purchase. The only other PH comment is generic goodwill ('Anything related to education always has my support'). The remaining ~23 comments are YouTube reactions to wasei-eigo topic videos, not app reviews. Sentiment there is mostly warm: learners call the content 'super useful', 'a quick confidence boost' for padding vocabulary, and one says they 'came here to take the list since apparently it's hard to find an actual good list that isn't bs' — direct demand for exactly what the app packages. Pushback exists and is specific: a self-described half-Japanese linguistics major insists 'this is gairaigo not wasei eigo. There is a difference'; another calls the words 'bastardized Japanised words borrowed from English'; and one user bluntly doubts transfer value: 'Wasei Eigo will never get through. When I talked to my foreign friends, they didn't understand me at all.' Audience is broader than Japanese learners (commenters studying Russian, German, Spanish), and one mentions using Quizlet for vocab drilling — an unaddressed competitor habit. Net: solid concept-level enthusiasm, near-zero product-level evidence.
