Not intuitive
Most people dont see the very top buttons which switch to hide the meaning and hiragana reading, hence the bad reviews.
However i still find the app lacking. In lesson 3 it includes kanji words weve never seen before but include one kanji (円) in the word. This is not intuitive. And $10 is a lot to pay for an app with no stroke order or writing practice.
Instead use the genki self study flashcard drills on their website, theyre free and much better flashcard system.

remove english translation
it should be a click to reveal option or else it’s super pointless to try and memorise the kanji.
why is this the only Genki product that shows the actual stroke order too it should definitely be in the textbook or workbook.

Sound works fine. Just turn off silent mode
I’m enjoying this app. Good information, for the price. I read a review that said sound only works when headphones are plugged in. This is incorrect. It works, if the switch on your phone (iPhone for sure. Not certain about android) is set so that your phone isn’t on silent mode. That’s the case for many apps. It seems like the sound is broken, but it’s actually just dependent on the toggle switch on the top, left side of the phone. I would definitely recommend this app. It’s not expensive, but is full of good information, and you can change whether you see the definition first, of the kanji. They’re also conveniently grouped, so that you learn similar vocabulary and concepts. It’s simple but effective, with regular use.

So frustrating, no stroke practice
In 2025 a kanji app should have drawing practice. Absolutely useless for my study when I already have the book, this does nothing new.
Missing Crucial Feature
The app doesn’t allow you to turn off the English translation for the kanji. Umm, duh??? Why would you build a flash cards app that doesn’t let you hide the answer???
