Love this app
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!
Great app
Great app for practicing kanji. Testing abilities are pretty good. Would recommend this app to anyone learning Japanese .
Best of all the kanji apps so far.
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.

Response from developer
Please contact me directly if you find bugs or have suggestions. Most of these items were added already: - break up sets, create or import your own sets - change color scheme - Overview of Kanji sorted by Radical is available in the app
Amazing
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.

Great app
Wow, what a fantastic app. Way cheaper than a textbook and much more useful.
This app saved me some money
I been using this app for about one year now and it's great. This app saved me a lot of money from buying kanji textbooks.
WoW
Absolutely amazing, befitting of an iPad. I am learning basic Japanese by myself, for Kanji this is the top notch must have! well organize, works well, very usefull, many features. I am impressed.
A note to a prospective beginner... before you dive into Kanji, learn your Kana, as this app has Hiragana and Katagana to help with pronunciation/reading the Kanji... it does not have romaji.. you can spend a weekend learning Kana before attempting Kanji.
If you don't know Kana, get the Kana app firsr
This app uses the screen real estate very well, and I for one am glad they did not waste it with romanji.
I just started learning Japanese and my goal is just the basics (for right now)... this app will cover that plus much more... seriously, I've compared many apps and this one blew them all away.
thanks developers, what a professional job!

Awesome.
But the interface is kinda lacking. (ie. the black background)

Design was changed/improved over time based on user feedback
Amazing and Efficient
This application is excellent in nearly every respect! It provides pre-made grade level based sets for learning the kanji characters, and allows you to make your own subsets or custom sets using the characters as well. The stoke order feature is also superb, and works very beautifully and naturally when used on an iPad with a stylus. Before finding this application, I, like many others I would assume, had relegated myself to using archaic and clumsy flash cards for the readings and definitions of characters. Now I'm infinitely more efficient in learning the characters and readings, and don't have to worry about if the information I'm teaching myself is accurate!
This application takes much of the headache out of what can be seen as the most daunting aspect of learning Japanese, and is absolutely worth the $12 price of admission. My only minor complaint is the color scheme and look of the application. However, in this case function is far more important than form, and should not in any way be a deterrent from purchasing this wonderful application!

Not Expensive, Very Thorough
It's all relative, really. I would definitely pay much more for just a quarter of the information provided in this application to be able to understand just N5 of the JLPT. Over 5,000 kanji from N1-N5... Seriously, at $15, this application is more than worth it.
