Yet another uneventful update :( - Finally fixes the crash that occurs when trying to add a vocab word to reviews - Prevents further crashes from occurring when dealing with vocab items More good stuff is coming in the horizon! Thank you for using uchisen!

February 7, 2022

Fixed a few too many bugs: - Fixed an issue where in-feed reviews wouldn't show new tests when tapping on "Answer More ->" - Fixed a crash that occurred when tapping next while on a vocab page - There was one more improvement but I can't remember right now... Must not have been very important :P Thank you for using uchisen! Please feel free to reach out on uchisen Community if you are experiencing issues (or just want to talk!)

久しぶり！Long time no see! Here's an update I've been working on for a few months. - Adds preschool in the app! No more lame webpage (mostly) - Enjoy drills from the app! Compete to get the best time you can using dynamic kana drills - Kana feed for new users! Scroll through kana just like you can for kanji - Cleaned up some things... It's been so long I can't remember everything I've added... We recently had a daughter so we've been very busy being new parents! I'll be making more tweaks and optimizations in the near future. Thanks for your support!

This is a pretty big update, so get ready! - Added comments for kanji, primes, and vocab items! Ask questions, give advice, or talk about the weather as you're scrolling through your feed! - Visual refresh time! This was much needed (in my opinion) and makes uchisen look a little more hip-and-happening, giving new colors and making some things more readable - Added kanji components/primes to the feed, so now you won't have to venture into the info pages to get a refresher on what parts kanji are made up of - Other bug fixes and performance improvements... what would an update be without that!? In other news, we crossed the 460th kanji picture drawn! Saori (our artist) is almost 1/4th of the way there, and has been picking up steam lately! We look forward to having all 2200+ kanji pictures drawn in the next year, so keep your fingers crossed! As always, thanks for using uchisen :)

Added a couple of fixes that add up to be a nice update! - Scratchpad writing feels MUCH better, there were a few issues introduced in the last update that were ironed out - "Start Reviews" button works as intended now, there were a few quirks introduced recently that now should work every time - Most importantly: Updated wording on notification to say "1 Review Due" instead of "1 Reviews Due"... the details matter! Thank you for your continued support of uchisen! :)

- Added the uchisenPRO Lifetime subscription option, for those of us that are in it for the long run - Made notifications MUCH BETTER. Now you'll see how many reviews you have every day, rather than a generic message - Updated the feel of drawing kanji - it's much smoother and will make your handwriting look way better - Added a little feedback to most buttons to make pressing them feel better - Added functionality to open certain URLs in the app instead of the browser - Fixed a few bugs with adding items to reviews As always, thank you for using uchisen! I'll be making lots of improvements to the app and website here in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! :)

Introducing: uchisen Community! Tap on the icon in the top left corner of your screen to be taken to a brand-new community of Japanese learners like yourself. Feel free to post, comment, or share whatever you'd like! Also available on the web at community.uchisen.com. Come on in and stay a while! Also included in this update: - Choose between reviewing everything, reviewing only kanji, or only vocab! Want to focus on vocab? Choose vocab-only! Have a bunch of kanji you need to get through? Choose kanji-only! - Fixed reviews system: Totally overhauled reviews so now they won't show up nearly as often as they did before and are much smarter. This is why you may have seen your review count change the other night. - Lots of other small fixes and improvements

January 20, 2021

This is a pretty fun update and adds more ways to interact with the kanji as your learn them: - Added drawing and multiple choice tests to the home page - Fixed a few annoyances with tutorials Stay tuned for more updates and pictures coming soon!

Fixed a few layout issues in this release and added a few quality-of-life improvements: - Added message about the new uchisen book and ebook - Added feedback button (click on account image on account page to access) - Kanji writing animation will now show when the "eye" button is clicked while doing reviews (thanks for pointing that out, Von!) - Settings timezone and notification time pickers will now show again - Tutorial will only show once (as apposed to showing on every new login) - No more crashes will happen from kanji/prime/vocab info not being able to load in - Made certain popup messages look more pretty (upgrading grade, etc) Thanks for using uchisen! Please let us know if there's any feedback you have please send it our way!

This update addresses crashes seen introduced in the newest versions: - App should no longer crash when opening the reviews tab (or any scrollable tab) - Refreshing the feed tab should no longer cause a crash Hopefully there are no more big crashes in the app! I'll be keeping an eye on crash logs to see if there's anything else fishy with this update. Thanks for using uchisen!
