User reviews

In depth

Just getting started with this but the documentation is very good and there are a lot of features and tons of info. If you get the bundle you will see that the Kanji Learner Dictionary will link to entries in the other apps. Pretty neat.

Faithful copy of physical book

Great app, seems to have the same content as my physical copy. An ask for the developers that would be very useful:

Please add a DARK MODE for this app so that my eyes don’t go blind from the brightness, and make sure it works on both iOS and MacOS. Thank you!

Un must

Excellente application synthétisant bien les différentes application des kanjis, on’yomis et kun’yomi. La composante graphique permet une bonne intégration de l’écriture des kanjis.

Faithful copy of physical book

Great app, seems to have the same content as my physical copy. Two asks for the developers that would be very useful:

1. Add a different syntax to search for kanji by their old former index before the revised edition came out. I have reader books that have KKLD indices in them but they are for the original edition. Being able to search in a similar way to: @1234, but perhaps $1234 or the likes would bridge lookup between editions.

2. Please add a dark mode for this app so that my eyes don’t go blind from the brightness.

Very useful, scalable text would be good.

My only real complaint is that I can’t choose the size of the fonts, (as far as I can tell), it would be good to zoom them larger.

It would also be great if there were an online version of Scott Conning’s “Kanji Learner’s Course”, or at least an index with the numbering scheme used in that book. (Another case of a very good book but hard to read because the fonts are small)
