### 5/5 — Request:

*2026-01-18*

Hi, can you please add an option the see all of the kanji you missed (right after finishing a set). For example it only lets me to try again on the kanji I missed but it doesn’t give me a list of all of them, I want to screen shot or export them to try and focus on those kanji more.

Just want to focus on the ones I I’m having difficulty 
There is no point in studying kanji I always know

### 5/5 — Great app, but I would like to request a feature…

*2025-10-21, version 2.0.4*

It’s a great app for learning and memorizing Kanji, but my only complaint is that when the sound plays after an answer, it pauses any background videos you have playing and doesn’t unpause them after. For example, if you are watching a YouTube video while doing the quizzes, every time you complete a question, the sound plays and pauses the video and doesn’t unpause it after. This happens even if you set all the apps sounds volume to 0. My one request is to make it so that the sounds do not pause any other videos currently playing.

### 5/5 — Best Kanji App

*2025-07-28, version 2.0.4*

Best app I’ve found to review Kanji. I like the variety of what you can test for (English, hiragana, kanji). And it has no bloatwear. Scoring is a nice touch too.

### 4/5 — Small issue

*2025-05-12, version 2.0.4*

Love the app and has really helped however it is very irritating that I can’t listen to music because the sound effects (Which can’t be turned off) interfere with it every time you flip a card. Other than this it’s perfect but would really love the ability to practise whilst listening to my music

### 5/5 — amazing app but HOW DO I ACTUVATE A VOICE

*2025-02-01, version 2.0.4*

why is there a voice option but there’s no voice?? 😓😓

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-11-25*

Very useful for learning kanji, I’ve had great success with this app. My only wish is to be able to see what kanji are in a given set in case I wanted to study a specific set of flashers, as there is currently no indication.

### 5/5 — Update the website flashcard mode to add N1 list

*2024-11-02*

Hi could you please let me know when you will update your website to add the n1 list on the flashcard vocabulary list. It still says N1 coming soon. Thanks

### 5/5 — Love the app, but can we have a silent option?

*2024-09-30*

I highly recommend this app and I find it extremely helpful. The one thing I would like to see is the ability to turn on silent mode (no voice, no sound effects) for just visual flash card practice. I would practice more often if I could listen to music while I was studying, but as it is I can’t see how to do that. 

Still, thanks for a great app!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-05-06*

Very good and to the point. I wanted a flashcard app for study repetition of kana and kanji as I work towards the N5 exam. Interface is clean and it does what I want and the buy once option is much appreciated. Thank you.

### 3/5 — dark mode please

*2024-01-31, version 2.0.4*

add a dark mode or night mode please for oled devices
