Great app

WIsh there was more customization with writing boxes and other things but I can’t complain with it being free. Update review because i cannot support and feedback section is grayed out in app so I’ll leave my thoughts here. The main thing I find a huge hinderance when using the app is the stroke correction being too strict, if im going to grade myself on the kanji anyways afterwards I’d like to be able to write the kanji without the stroke detection, I understand stroke order is a big thing but even if i do the stroke correctly when reviewing its not accurate and counting me as wrong. I’d like that feature to be optional or have a slider on strictness. Other than that the writing box would be nicer if it was small or size options because I dont realistically see myself writing kanji the size of my iPad.

Good App

Adding Hiragana/Katakana for learning would be nice.

일본어 칸지 공부하기에 제일 좋은 앱✨

두 가지로 연습할 수 있는데 두번째로 설정했을때 여러번 틀렸을때 반복되는게 좋습니다.
기억이 아예 안나는 한자가 나왔을때 반복적으로 틀리면 헷갈리는건지 모르는 건지를 구분해서 모양을 알려주고 여러번 반복 한습하게 떠서 완벽하게 외워지고 복습기능도 좋아요!!
또,일본기준 초1~6 중학생 단어오도 나뉘어 있어서 선택해서 공부가능해요 자잘한 유용한 기능이 많아요!!

이 앱이랑 긴 글읽기 해주고 듣기연습이랑 문법공부는 가끔해줘도 jlpt 합격할 것 같아요!!

Response from developer
