This app is amazing for learning kanji. No ads, good interface, good settings, good way of teaching through spaced repetition - what more could one want from an app like this.
TLDR: * Fantastic free app to use in conjunction with other kanji study materials. Great for learning stroke order but not main learning source to learn readings or meanings. * Links to Genki, Wanikani, JLPT lists and many other kanji learning sources. * Ability to customise settings for optimal learning and accessibility. * Issues with stroke order, readings can be reported as bugs but did note that I dont think they have all been resolved IE “to go” shows as “to say”. Full review: I wanted to wait until I had been using the app a little while before reviewing but I can say, this is one of the best kanji study apps that I have used. I do not use it for learning the meanings but use it alongside other apps/websites so I can learn stroke order. I have found that learning stroke order alongside the meaning, reading and usage of a kanji helps me to retain all the information better. There is an option to link the app to your Wanikani which is perfect but also it pulls the kanji from many other sources such as Genki and JLPT. The only thing that I would deduct any score for is the apple jump scare on the front page, I wish it could be updated to the standard white and red apple that you see on the App Store - but I am splitting hairs here! The customise features make this great too, you can change the size and placement of the drawing box which is great for accessibility. I also like that you can report bugs, such as issues with stroke order and it appears there is a community page online for discussing these. However I did note that some issues raised where not fixed in the app even thought the developer commented on these errors (ie: 行く listed as 言う and stroke order issues for 右 etc.
Brilliant for memorising the correct way to write kanji and kana
The system adapts to keep at it when you’re giving the wrong answers
