### 2/5 — う〜ん……

*2024-11-21*

良い所
練習やテスト、さまざまなルートがある
書き方、順番などを教えてくれる
改善点
書き方の赤矢印から黒ポチまで、繋がっていれば良いから適当に書けて、練習にならない

### 5/5 — 必要な内容が全部ある

*2020-09-08*

小学1年生が学校で習う漢字のドリルです。鉛筆で書くのとはまた感じが違いますが、何度でも書き直せるので反復練習に良いと思います。

### 1/5 — 適当

*2015-05-23*

ここのアプリは教育関係の人が作ってないかんじなのでただの遊びだと思います。

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-01-01*

I really like this app and plan to use it to learn kanji before putting it in my preferred flash card app for long term study. Also, another reviewer mentioned a bug where it freezes when you use the hiragana guide. I thought it happened too, but then I found out that if I tap on the hiragana that fulfills the answer instead of hiding the guide, it appears on the answer box and I could move on without resetting the app.

### 1/5 — good, but many bugs

*2014-10-22*

I love this program, but there are many problems.
- can’t go back to “one”
- when pressing back button, it keeps going back until it freezes
- freezes after using “hiragana guide”
This all needs to be fixed.
Not recommended until they work on these issues.

addition 10-21-2014
Terrible customer support.  I don’t recommend this app to anybody any more.  Very unfortunate for potentially good program like this.

### 5/5 — great practice!

*2014-04-20*

My children review kanji everyday, and this app is great for helping them do it in a fun way. We own grades 1-3 kanji as well as hiragana, katakana, and grades 1-2 math. I often recommend these programs to other parents who want their kids to study Japanese, they're great!

### 4/5 — Really cool app!

*2014-03-30*

This is really helping me with my kanji. I was surprised there's no English in the app though, since the description here in the app store is in English, but I suppose that isn't an issue for most customers, since the app appears to be designed for native-speakers to teach their native-speaking kids kanji. However, even if you're like me, a non-native-speaker studying Japanese on your own, the app is pretty easy to figure out, but you might want to have a machine translator or dictionary handy: you won't be able to read some things, like the settings menu (and its very complex kanji), without it.

### 2/5 — 文字認識に難あり

*2014-02-16*

手書きの文字認識が厳密すぎて子どもではできません。早急に改善願います。

### 5/5 — これいいですよ。

*2013-11-29*

非常に良いアプリです。
アンドロイド版はないのかな？

### 5/5 — とてもいい

*2013-07-23*

漢字の並べ替え機能がついてるのがいいですね。
簡単な漢字から勉強出来るし、習った漢字からも勉強出来て、
子どもが勉強しやすいと思います。
書き順通りに書かないと正解にならないのも、いいですね。
