### 1/5 — Buggy, useless

*2020-04-19*

The flip cards function is super buggy - cards flip to show the back of the wrong card... the practice mode is useless as well without stroke order... deleted the app after 3 minutes use.

### 3/5 — Bugs + other features

*2019-07-21*

There’s a few bugs, at a certain point I have to restart the app because the meanings and the cards mix up. 

Having other features like pronunciation exercises, stroke sequence and listening exercises would be super handy!

### 3/5 — Comprehensive list of readings and examples

*2019-06-05*

Like the list of examples for each Kanji and all the different readings

Had noticed a bug - kanji flash cards added to ‘favourites’ randomly change their meaning when they are tapped on. For example, if I have kanji card ‘ichi’ in my favourites and I tap on it to review its meaning, the meaning provided might be for a different kanji card. This only seems to happen when cards are added to favourites. Wanted to report this to the developer but couldn’t find any means of contact.

### 4/5 — I seriously love this but...

*2019-05-25*

I have the same issue with the answers getting mixed up with the Kanji. The only fix is to reset it which then causes me to lose my place. Very good Kanji learning app but hopefully the bug will be fixed soon and I will definitely give it a full 5 stars! Thanks for your work on it!

### 3/5 — No bad but has bugs

*2018-10-02*

I can’t replicate it all the time but sometimes the cards get mixed up and the wrong answer would be on the back.  And then that wrong answer would repeat on the rest of the cards.  Sometimes it can reset other times you have to restart the app.  

But beside that I like the app.

**Developer response:** I’ll address this bug. Thanks for the feedback.
