Great practice
This is almost exactly what I needed, genkouyoushi paper with kana and kanji tracing. You’ll need a Japanese keyboard installed and a basic understanding of hiragana and katakana before you’ll understand how to search for kanji, but you’ll be learning that anyway if you’re reading this. The only thing that could make this app better is a bit of intelligence able to evaluate the accuracy of your characters, but don’t let that dissuade you. It’s just a wish for me. If you’re learning to write in Japanese, this is what you need, and it is easily worth a couple dollars.

Not better than pen and paper
Difficult to use for kanji practice, controls are clumsy, writing is laggy. Pen and paper notepad and online Jisho do a better job. I was disappointed.
Excellent app
Great app for learning and practicing kanji. Works great with the apple pencil.
Needs better accuracy.
I'm using a second generation iPad Pro 12.9", and this program writes like 3 millimeters below the point you touch. This is using either the Apple Pencil or just your finger. It isn't enough to make this program unusable, but it irritates me enough to not want to use it.
Great, beautiful, recommended.
Beautiful application, very helping for practicing my Kana and a cheeky game of sudoku while practicing Japanese numbers.
Great and unique app
iKana Noto is a great app to practice Japanese without paper. It can't speak, but has everything for writing. Even kanji dictionary, kana tables and shadow characters to trace.
You can use it to study Japanese or to write in Japanese. iKana Noto can replace many other apps or can accompany them. You still need something to learn phonetics and grammar, since this app cover writing only.
I would like iKana Noto to check your exercise as well. As for now, it's just Japanese notebook.

A little disappointing
I was hoping this app would have kanji included. Also, I've found that if you write fast, the app will not recognize some lines.
Was a beautiful app
This used to be a beautiful, relaxing way to practice kanji. Unfortunately, the app was redesigned to something flat and ugly. The beauty was the whole point. Not sure what they were thinking.
Great app for Kani/Kana practice
Like the design, stroke guidance boxes and fun features like making artistic cards to send to friends. Really nice app - @jmarcelino
an excellent start
I really love this app for practicing kana and kanji, and can even use it with a stylus to get the feeling of using a pen. The best part is when I'm away, I can complte homework that requires genkoyoshi paper and email it to my sensē. The cute templates were a nice addition, however there really needs to be a way to adjust grid size for higher level, more adult compositions. Also it works like traditional paper, so if one makes a mistake at the end, they must erase every block before and start over. There should be a way to copy and paste already written blocks to save the user all the hassle. If that were to be added, along with traditional book and more refined layout styles, it would be nearly perfect. One last issue is there's no way to change the orientation for horizontal, right-to-left writing. Hopefully that can be added in soon.
