Writing Practice

I cannot find the place in the app where I can write, and the app recognizes whether my strokes are right. I see the animated and automated stroke order, but nothing where one writes freehand. Can anyone help? (I tried the website but "contact us" link wasn't working.)

Good Purchase

A little skeptical about purchasing this app at first, but I'm glad I did. LOTS of vocabulary and kanji to study. I don't think you'll run out of stuff to study. The only thing I'd like to bring up is the flash cards: it's really hard to read the words towards the bottom of the card. It's almost completely cut off. Other than, I advise any Japanese language lover like myself to really consider purchasing this app.

great app, but...

I absolutely love this app. it is fun to use and helps me study for my Japanese 1 class. HOWEVER, it is giving me trouble with the hiragana "ใด" and "ใ‚ˆ." I tap the help icon, and even when I trace the hiragana directly, it gives me a percentage in the single digits, typically not above 2%. I'm not sure if this is an effect of the update, but it makes practice difficult at times

Generally like this app, but latest update has bugs

I updated this app and have not been able to access practice decks since the update. I keep getting an error about cloud storage?

Great, educational, versatile

I love the stroke-recognition writing game/quiz--I can't find that anywhere else. The rest of the app is good too. The only thing holding me back from giving it four stars is the "wrong" buzzer that sounds even when I have the volume off. Is there a way to mute that for private study?
