Why do the execises test kanji?

I took beginner Japanese lessons at my local college and I know katakana and hiragana but this app expects you to order the kanji as well. I want to learn words not the kanji. It’s too much at this point.

Response from developer

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that learning all three writing systems simultaneously can feel overwhelming, especially when you're still building your foundation with katakana and hiragana. The app does introduce kanji alongside the other scripts as part of the learning flow, and we recognize this approach doesn't work for everyone. We're actively working on improving and refining our content to better serve learners at different stages. Your input is valuable and helps us understand what adjustments would be most helpful.

Not free

Forces you to start a paid subscription that includes a free trial. Bait and switch. Scammy.

This is not made for Japanese

They immediately throw extremely complicated kanji here. And then asked to combine the kanji like their letters. Kanji is not spelling.

Don’t waste your time.

Basically you can not use the app if you don’t sign up. You have to get the trial and a plan. Basically they are expecting you to forget to charge you.

could be better

I think a lot of these apps really focus entirely on memorising rather than recognition. I would love to find an app or program that will actually teach me how to read and recognise the sounds of everything I’m seeing. I feel like that’s a big part of when I’m missing.
