### 5/5 — Incredibly cool and helpful!

*2025-09-04*

I absolutely love this app and it was something I never knew I needed until I saw it! The simplistic and sleek design also adds to this apps appeal. If I had to pick one thing I wish could be different…. I would like to be able to click on the onyomi and Kunyomi vocab words (which also use the kanji you clicked on as a foundation for the vocab that use that same kanji) that appear when you click on any of the kanji from the man chart. Thank you for all your hard work in creating this app and I look forward to adding it to my studies.

### 5/5 — Très fourni
