Almost perfect
I really like this app. I get to practice combinations, kanji writing, and have fun while doing so. I also love that it links to the Jisho website for additional information. Where this app could improve is how it helps with learning the Kun/On and vocabulary. The info there but barely reinforced. Some MIGHT appear during one of the quizzes — but not with enough frequency to get a firm grasp on their usage and application as you do the English definition. There is also no setting to adjust this. It’s great for getting started with Kanji but if you’re learning for reading/speaking, you eventually hit a wall with this. I hope they add this feature soon as this is still my favorite app to learn kanji.

The best kanji app!!
I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years, but I’ve never been able to get the hang of remembering kanji. Every other app I’ve tried has been largely ineffective or hit me with more work than I could handle. Kanji Book is fantastic! I can choose which kanji I want to focus on and practice them as much as I want until I feel comfortable. The compound and test features are effective at highlighting my trouble spots, and after only a few weeks of spending a few minutes a day practicing, I’m noticing huge improvements in reading comprehension and writing. No more feeling lost and overwhelmed! A huge thanks to the developer for making this available.

Finally a kanji app I’ll use
I’ve tried so many kanji apps and they’re never what I want. They’re either two hard to navigate or look terrible and uninviting and I’ve never used them for long. This is the first kanji app I think I’ll actually use.
It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and I love the sound effects. I also love the different ways it just naturally tests you / mixes it up in the tests.

Fun but inflexible
This app is very helpful in learning kanji, but I wish that you can turn off certain modes like writing.
It’s good - just needs one more thing
I don’t mind that there is no audio. I have other resources for that. The layout is simple, attractive and fun to use. I enjoy drawing the kanji. I think the compound word scramble is REALLY cool and actually the main reason I do want to keep using it - except— I would like to see the compound once completed correctly written in Hiragana under the English word. It means little if I don’t know which On or Kun is being used based on that kanji combo. Perhaps this evolves in the app as I evolve in my learning. But combining kanji to form words but not see them in Hiragana but only in English is limiting. That said, what a cool free app it is.. It is a great way to start familiarizing with kanji.
