## KanjiBox Description
KanjiBox is a focused Japanese kanji and vocabulary trainer for learners at every level, from first-time beginners to advanced JLPT N1 candidates.

• Simple yet effective algorithm
Spaced Repetition System and smart Multiple Choice algorithm, combined to optimize your learning and track your progress

• Multiple Modes to keep you motivated
From Flashcards, to Drill training, to Gamified Quiz

• No AI Slop
KanjiBox was first released 19 years ago, and has helped hundreds of thousands achieve written Japanese mastery ever since. It does not, and will never, rely on half-baked LLM-driven content

— — — — — — — — — — — — —
KANJIBOX IS SMART
— — — — — — — — — — — — —
KanjiBox adapts to your performance by prioritizing items you struggle with, and reducing repetition of material you already know. As you progress, it will introduce new kanji and vocabulary, but always while following your pace.

Spend more time on what needs work, and less time reviewing what you have already mastered.

— — — — — — — — — — — — —
KANJIBOX IS A MEAN TEACHER
— — — — — — — — — — — — —
Behind the deceptively simple Multiple Choice Question format, is a well-oiled algorithm designed to trip you up: similar-looking kanji, subtle pronunciation differences, closely-related grammatical words…

Because the goal is to learn the language, not how to beat the test.

— — — — — — — — — — — — —
KANJIBOX IS ENGAGING
— — — — — — — — — — — — —
Exhaustive stats across levels and categories show you what you have mastered, what needs more practice, and how your results improve over time. Quiz mode adds a fun competitive element to your studying.

Because serious should not mean tedious!

## KanjiBox Reviews in United States

### ***** "Revisiting"
Downloaded this program years ago…must have gotten distracted.  Lots of cool additions.  It’s just a great program for learning and reviewing Japanese.  Thank you!
-- Sostrow, 2024-11-20

### ***** "the best app for studying imo"
Been using for over 10
 years to refresh and retain my Japanese skills. Please add more grammar!
-- 土影様, 2024-10-07

### ****- "."
This app is great, but I wish there was a mode that allows the user to type in the answer for the reading mode. This is much more challenging than multiple choice.
-- Z@cH@rIAh, 2024-03-23

### ***** "The best app for learning kanji and vocabulary"
This is my first written review. I’m writing it because this is a phenomenal app and I want to support it! If you are learning Japanese kanji, the key strokes are essential for writing and understanding. Not only can you practice strokes for kanji on this app, it has multiple levels of drills aligned to the Japanese language test levels that keep track of where you are in your learning that can sync across all of your devices. I practice on my phone and iPad whenever I have a moment. Even 10 minutes a day and you will see soooo much improvement! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
-- ART LOVE FRIEND, 2024-01-19

### *---- "Crashes"
This app crashes every time I launch it.
-- Myisha G, 2023-08-17

### ***-- "great app, questionable support"
probably the best flashcard program specifically for learning japanese both in terms of ease of use and user freedom. the dev also doesn’t try to nickle and dime you or use any cancerous ‘freemium’ design patterns which is enough of a rarity these days that it is worth pointing out and applauding. i’d like to give this a 5 star review but currently one of the best features, the ability to quickly create custom kanji & vocab sets seems to be broken and has been for some time and i am under the impression the developer has moved on from this project for all intents and purposes
-- habbibullah, 2023-07-02

### *---- "Often crashes for weeks at a time."
-KanjiBox is great…when it’s working.  
-Has crashed for at least three months already in 2023. 
-I sent crash report to developers but they did not fix anything (although they did reply).  
-Also crashed for several month a few years ago (around 2020 I believe).
-- Ringijingicocipop, 2023-03-05

### ***** "Great App. Please add kanji sets by grade level too"
Really great app. No frills but solid functionality. It allows you to drill kanji, vocab, readings, etc. A nice surprise for me has been the KanjiDraw add-on. Forcing yourself to recall (rather than just recognize) kanji really reinforces the learnings. You’re forced to notice minute details between kanji as well as the actual radicals and components themselves. And the writing hints decrease as you get a kanji repeatedly right.

Only thing I wish is that the kanji were also natively grouped by grade level rather than just JLPT level. I would love to be able to learn a set of kanji by each grade level without having to create a custom set. There doesn’t seem to be any shared sets that group them like this either.
-- tsmashace, 2021-10-12

### ***** "Awesome!"
This app may not have all the flash and pizazz of a more polished app, but it covers everything I needed to pass both N3 and N2 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. That makes it perfect!
-- KumaDR, 2020-10-08

### ***** "すばしい"
Kanji box is the best all round program I have seen.
-- Philnob, 2020-02-25
