Skritter: Write Japanese

Switched to Finland ip (vpn) to check everything works fine. The old app has no restrictions and works smoothly using my real ip. New interface looks much better and modern, but I will switch to it only after problem with connection is resolved.

Great tool and resource, very easy to use. Definitely worth every penny.

Have tried many apps, however this one works the best for me.

I really like this app! It’s great for reviewing N1 kanji that I don’t see so often in my daily life. There are TONS of decks in this app.

Highly recommended. 🙂🙂

I was using the free version and after I paid the upgrade the app just stop working. The help center has doing nothing to solve the problem.

I am using Skritter paid subscriptions for both Japanese and Chinese. The app is wonderful and I’ve been using it for about 4 months consistently. I have learned Japanese kanji on my own in the past and what really lets you learn a character is its CONTEXT, ie what words in the language actually use this character you’re trying to learn. That’s how you build the associations that help the character stick. There’s always a moment of, “oh! That’s the character that you use the word ___!” Skritter does not do this and it’s the biggest difference from reviewing characters in a kanji book and other flashcard systems out there. In some cases, Skritter provides a sentence using the character, but what the app really needs is just a simple list of two or three of the most commonly used everyday words that use the character. It would be the bomb! Please consider this feature for the future.

I've been using this app since its very early days (2011 I think) and nothing has helped me learn kanji better. It's fun too and even if you don't care about being able to write, this will still set you down the right path

I Really Love this app! I have learned so much in a short amount of time thanks to it. I love that you can pick which decks to learn from and that many popular notebooks are included. I also really enjoy the writing experience, and the testing and time attack options. Tiny tweaks: - please create a streak freeze or other way to restore your streak so that it’s not as easy to lose your streak if you forget to practice one day. - for the review option I would like to be able to re review the words I got wrong within that session, similar to test mode. I’m also not clear why both modes exist but prefer the functionality of test mode. Thank you!

This is hands down the most impressive app for practicing your pen strokes in kanji. Beautiful design. After using it almost daily for 3 months now the problem is its way to difficult to memorize the advanced kanji the way this is presented. My tips to the developer: When you first learn each kanji it gives you an outline to follow and it’s fairly easy to get a green for success. That’s great but I need that learning stage for at least the first 3-5 times I see that kanji. After that I should get some hints maybe I just don’t have to fill it n a few strokes to get a green. Then as I progress keep removing strokes to make it harder for me to fill in the blanks. Then as I get advanced there’s only one or two strokes to give me a hint. Then ultimately I have to know the entire thing to advance to a master level. Something like that would be way more encouraging 😊
