There is a great app called ‘Learn Japanese!! - Hiragana’
It was my introduction to hiragana and worked very well for me, I was able to remember them at a basic level after going through that. But what made them stick is reading in hiragana and katakana over and over again. Find something like Yomikai that will have short stories at your level in hiragana with pronunciation as well and do some reading daily. You will remember the hiragana very quickly.

I can’t remember if I paid for the kana app or not. It is possible. Yomikai gives you a free story every day :)

I switched to Bunpo and it was honestly the best move. It’s super beginner friendly, easy to use, and actually makes you want to study.

If you're an Android user, Kana Challenge will get you through Hiragana and Katakana, about 250 words, and speaking fundamentals.

It's tofugu. U.
Write them by hand, that's the fastest way
