### 5/5 — Good section on radicals

*2021-10-12*

There are a lot of apps like this so it’s difficult to find the right one for you.  I found this one by searching the App Store over and over again.    

I particularly liked the section on radicals.    

The app takes a slightly different approach to flash cards and it worked really well for me.

### 2/5 — Downhill update

*2015-07-27*

The latest update has stopped switching between the JLPT and the Jouyou lists, and will only do the Jouyou lists. However they did fix the poor contrast of colors from the last update.

### 5/5 — Asahi Kanji is great!

*2013-02-24*

I love this app! It has on yomi and kun yomi drills. It also has detailed info on the kanji when you get stuck. Any app can teach you how to identify kanji, but this is the only app I am aware of that makes it easy to really know them!

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2011-05-07*

Great app, executed well and easy to use, just like the website. A very nice way to waste time when waiting for the bus.
Only 120 kanji and it doesn't save your statistics, though, which isn't a big deal. I plan to buy the full version.
