### 3/5 — Not what I thought

*2025-08-04*

This is a passable calligraphy practice app. However, from the first Preview video, what I thought I was getting was an app that showed you how each character is to be written with a brush pen, specifically the entry and exit of each stroke with the brush tip, in order to generate the characteristic shapes and contours of classic Chinese calligraphy. If there as an app that did that, and with a modern user interface, I would pay $10-20, depending on how complete the character library.

### 1/5 — 使えない

### 3/5 — UI/Ux needs urgent improvement

*2022-05-15*

I really like that you can see many different writing styles of a certain kanji, there's decent brushes to play with and different guides, but the interface ultimately makes it unbearable to use.
- The brush and kanji settings cover and obscure each other, at least on ipad.
- You have to click the same button a bunch of times to cycle through some of the options / make certain settings appear, totally breaks the flow.
- No double tap undo. Only a clear all button.
If the UI is fixed it would be useful.

**Developer response:** Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your valuable suggestions. 
We have Improved operability of the setting in the last update.
We are willing to evaluate the new features you suggest and will also consider adding them to the upgraded version.
The bug on iPad will be fixed in next update. Thank you.

### 3/5 — So-so

*2022-04-13*

I feel that brush behaving is wrong. Zen brush 2 is better in this aspect.
Catalog of characters is ok though

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our APP.
Thanks also for your feedback, our APP will make corresponding edge processing according to different writing speeds. Moreover, in the setting panel, there are fine adjustments of writing speed and brush stroke thickness. I think you can try it out.
Hope to help you.

アプリのご利用いただきありがとうございます。
フィードバックを頂きました。ありがとうございます。
アプリは運筆の速度に応じたエッジ処理を行います。 
また、設定パネルから、書写の速度や、筆先端の太さを微調整することができますので、
ぜひお試しください。
お役に立ちましたら幸いです。

### 5/5 — 还是不错的吧

*2020-11-02*

功能还不错，但感觉屏幕适配是不是没有做好呀，或者说把字体的选择以及大小换成滚动的，还有就是加了边框后边框能再大一点并且能隐藏掉边框外所写的文字就更好了，还有就是如果有临摹功能或者写完后有有对照功能就更好了，毕竟是针对书法的而不是针对涂鸦的

**Developer response:** 感谢您的使用和评价，我们正在对应用进行升级，在下一次更新版本中，会适应所有系列的屏幕，包括新的iPhone 12系列。而且，毛笔粗细的选择会增加滑块控件，调节更加方便。有计划，在以后的升级版中有追加临摹功能。感谢您的支持和关注。敬请期待。
