KanjiBox

KanjiBox is a great app for learning Kanji :)

This app covers a lot of the skills needed to improve your kanji recognition and writing. There are graded skills and timed quizzes which are really motivational. The writing practice allows you to use the touch sensitive screen and gives feedback if stroke order or character formation is not perfect. It's very fussy. All this app needs is sound files to make it even more useful.

Great app. Helped me so much. Very handy time filler on trains and things also. I really think it has improved hugely with each version.

Love it! Really like that it gives similar options to choose from. Update to include N3 makes it even better! Thank you!

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.

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!!!!

This app crashes every time I launch it.

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

-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).

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.
