Learn Japanese! - Kanji

Wanted this in conjunction with Busuu. I really liked how the single lesson I got to do was formatted but that’s as far as I got. You have to buy the other lessons 🙄 very frustrating in a world that already costs so much and most people don’t have expendable income. Immediately deleted

I want to reset my mastery of the individual Kanji (green/red/yellow labels) but I’m afraid if I click “reset data” then I’ll have to take all my lessons over again starting from N5. I’m really enjoying the app and find it a great way to drill vocab but I’m curious about this feature and don’t want to risk trying it out. Developer, please respond. Thank you! Thank you for the response! Love the app. Updated to 4 stars. Further customizability would make it 5 stars, easy!

I want to make clear right away that this is a seriously incredible value for money. Having an SRS memorization app for all of the JLPT kanji for a one time purchase is genuinely incredible and I recommend it whole heartedly. The problem I’ve consistently dealt with is the writing of some of the Kanji. I’ve found that once a kanji has more than ~10 strokes, the likelihood of the app interrupting your writing to tell you it’s wrong - even when the stroke order is correct - goes up exponentially. This can be unbelievably frustrating when very easy kanji in N5 or N4 keep cropping up over and over again in your review even though you’ve written them hundreds of times and know them like the back of your hand. A great example of this would be 週. I’ve lived and studied in Japan, I’ve been studying Japanese for more than a decade, and have been comfortably above N5 since about 2016. Yet still, without fail, every time 週 comes up in review, it marks it incorrect. And I know it’s normal to think user error - and I did too at first! I had quite a few bad stroke order habits engrained into me from trying to keep up in school when I moved to Japan and hardly knew the language. This app has been a godsend for reviewing and correcting these old mistakes. 週 is not one such case. I don’t know how else to convey that I am 100% positive, in this instance, it genuinely isn’t on me. There’s a few others where it feels like the sensitivity for error is just way too over tuned, but 週 being N5 definitely feels the worst emotionally to keep being hit with lol. Again, I need to reiterate - this is an incredible app and I do wholeheartedly recommend it to learn and study Kanji! There’s just a couple of errors like this that really pull down the user enjoyment.

The pronunciations are off. I just can’t get behind the ai voicebot saying these. It just doesn’t sound right. It would be nice if some of the kanji, especially in the earlier level, were voiced by someone. For 六, the app makes it sound like its pronounced “loku,” which, to my knowledge, it isn’t. I’m just saying this because it is very confusing to me to have to listen to this ai voice bot. It just isn’t optimal. Either use a better voice bot or have it voiced by someone

Normally I just try to read the kanji, not write kanji but this forces me to write also and learn the stroke order. I heard that even some Japanese are not good at writing kanji because phone or computer converts the hiragana to kanji.

It’s my favorite app to review kanji, but since it’s not tied to an account, you lose your progress if you change your phone.

Would give it a 5 star review if the app wasn’t so sensitive when writing certain kanji. There some kanji that I write that get rejected often even though I know them, besides that the amount of information is plentiful. Just please see what you can do about the above mentioned issue, it makes infuriating to use at times.

This app has made it easy for me to learn kanji at my own pace, but also helped with retention through review and quizzes. I recommend also some kind of notebook so you can practice writing with a pen.

Simple but effective lessons, u can learn helpful vocabulary, and it literally has all of the kanji. You need to pay to access all of the lessons past N5, but it's sooo worth it! Its also super fun i could spend hours on this app

Great kanji learning app but I think some example sentences are needed to really make this a great learning tool. I can’t just give it four star just because of this though. Offline learning makes this really awesome. Also, the UI could have feedback with like a different color or highlight or something when you press on a button.
