犬棒かるた is an app developed by THE GINCHO IND. CO.LTD. that is designed to be used in conjunction with the physical card game "犬棒かるた". It offers two main features: "かるた読み上げ" (Karuta Reading) and "かるた鑑賞" (Karuta Appreciation).

The "かるた読み上げ" feature randomly reads out the reading cards for the Karuta game. Users can customize the time interval to move on to the next card and the number of repetitions for the same card, making it suitable for children of different levels. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing even young children to operate the app effortlessly.

The "かるた鑑賞" feature allows users to view the picture cards, reading cards, and their meanings. By touching the picture cards, users can listen to the audio of the reading cards, and by touching the hiragana characters, they can listen to the pronunciation of individual hiragana characters. This feature enables users to learn hiragana while visually exploring the picture cards. The app also provides explanations of the card meanings, making it convenient for parents or teachers to quickly provide explanations when children ask for clarification.
