Kanji LS Touch

I can’t just memorize kanji by looking at them. For me, I needed an app that taught me how to write them - it’s the only way I could really learn them. So far, I’ve made it through the N5 and N4 sets (284 total). Best way to use this tool is to go to Settings/Test Set and set the range to 20 characters at a time. As I then test myself every day, and start consistently getting 100%, I move the range from “86-105” to “91-110” (for example). That way I’m introducing a small amount of new material and reinforcing the old. I recommend this app to everyone I know who is learning Japanese!

Maybe it was good at the time it was developed over 10 years ago or if it was free. I got this app because of the option to take a test by drawing the kanji to answer instead of typing. However, when you submit your answer it has you push the next stroke button to compare yours to theirs and then you decide if you got it right or not. This too too long even with the most simple kanji and can only imagine the pain it’ll be when doing the 10+ kanji. Considering it’s paid and the Japanese learning innovation these days from other websites and apps, I would have at least expected it to tell me if I got the answer wrong and try again. I would happily change my review if it improved and it helped my study, but at this point I feel I’m better off looking at an image of kanji stroke order and using paper and pencil

This app has been great. I have used it for several years and it is the simplest way to practice Kanji! Highly recommended for anyone studying Japanese.

After running into a few major issues one of the developer's other apps (which ended up being the fault of my device ) and emailing the developer I received immediate support. This app itself is smooth, simple, and fantastic for learning to write Kanji. The app is all about utility and it performs! There is a huge amount of content and many ways to test yourself and learn. The most unique and helpful feature that it offers is the ability to grade your own writing and stroke order in a step by step manner. There is no automatic writing detector to be picky and mark you wrong because the angle was "slightly off". This app makes studying and learning Japanese a breeze! It is an absolute must have for any learner! Thank you Jan for bringing this helpful tool to life! I don't have a single regret in purchasing this app!

I love this app, I have both the Japanese and kanji LS apps but they are completely broken right now on my iPad 2 iOS 5. Cannot draw anything in the practice or test modes

I had updated the developers Kana LS app and the new interface is ugly and awkward. I was hoping he'd leave the kanji version alone. I will NOT be updating. The original version is elegant, attractive and easy to use. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

I have quite a few Japanese and Kanji apps. This is one of the two or three that I consistently use and make progress with. It works. Simple and good. (though I wish I could change the colors; don't really like the black background, alas) It would really be nice to have DROPBOX support!!

Worth every penny. I've been learning Japanese and this app has helped in so many ways. Downloaded lots of other apps but none of them are as simple to use. Huge thanks to the developers! Nice work!

Ok so needs some work on setting up which kanjis to learn. Being able to divede the joyo kanji into whatever size groups the user would like would really help. The background needs to be user set to whatever color I really hate the black orange. Its almost insulting. Also there is not one app that just does the 212 radicals only grouping the kanjis by radicals would be useful knowing all the radicals should come first.

By far, the best learning app I have tried. It is unbelievable the amount of options it has and the friendly design! It is complete and fun to use. My handwriting in japanese has improved a lot, and I simply couldn't resist buying the hiragana and katakana app. I wish I could give it more than five stars.
