(petit) bug d’affichage

App très utiles pour pratiquer l’écriture des KANA / KANJI (à l’aide d’un cours comme Reading Japanese)
J’ai remarqué le bug suivant: à chaque ajout d’une page dans un cahier, les quatre boutons droits de l’interface (où on écrit) se décalent sur la droite (faut fermer, puis réouvrir le cahier pour qu’ils reviennent à leur place)

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.
