### 5/5 — アプリ起動時間の短縮お願いします

*2026-02-19*

毎回アプリ起動のための待ち時間が約12秒もかかるため、起動するのを躊躇ってしまう。内容はとても役に立ち何回もアプリを起動するので、長くても約3秒以内ですぐ使えるようにして欲しい。課金しても、アプリ起動時間は無課金と同じく約12秒でした。言という漢字は、丁寧に書いても正しく認識されない場合は横棒を右上に斜めに書くしかない。

### 5/5 — 「育」が「高」と認識されます

*2025-09-23*

iPadで使っていますが、育という字が何回書いても高と認識されてしまい、習得済みにできません。

アプリは総じて素晴らしいので300円課金しました！

追記
他にもたまに認識がおかしいときがあります。
「実」が「美」と認識されるとか。

### 5/5 — 書いて覚える、広告の消せるアプリは他に見当たりません

*2024-12-21*

学年ごとに分かれており、読み書きのクイズもあり、使いやすいです。中学生版も出していただきたいです。
「言」がどうしても認識されません。改善を期待します。

### 1/5 — ？

*2024-08-09*

時間の時を漢字じてんで調べてたらふつうに書いていたのに時が出てこなかったです。最初は書いた字が悪いのかと、思っていました。お母さんに書いてもらいましたけど駄目でした。お母さんは字がすごく上手ですけど字が悪いのでしょうか？。アプリが悪そうなら時の字をもうちょっと出てくるようにして下さい。
