## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-16

This update brings iOS 27 support, smoother search, iPad refinements, and an easy way to share the app.

• Fixed an issue on iOS 27 where tapping the Search tab didn’t focus the search field or open the keyboard.
• Selecting a search suggestion now dismisses the keyboard so you can see the results.
• Content hidden behind the search field can now be scrolled into view, and the layout no longer jumps when you switch tabs after searching.
• On iPad, the level-up celebration now opens at full height, so the badge and the Done button sit where you expect.
• The Settings icon in the iPad sidebar now matches the colour of the tab icons on your version of iOS.
• Share KanjiMate with friends from Settings.
• Refreshed the onboarding artwork and made the Show All Kanji and Add Tag buttons more consistent with the rest of the app.
• When you email support from the app, your device model is included to help us investigate.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-09

This update makes everyday study smoother and fixes a few things that could get in your way.

• Search results now prioritize commonly used kanji.
• Search by kun’yomi without typing the dots shown in dictionary readings.
• Improved scrolling and responsiveness in Learning and kanji browsing lists.
• Fixed Add/Remove Card actions, bulk additions, and the In Deck filter so they reflect the cards actually in your deck.
• Fixed cases where the iCloud restore indicator stayed visible with nothing to restore, and kept Quick Start available for empty decks.
• Improved the layout of statistics cards across text sizes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-02

Handwriting practice, rebuilt.

DRAWING
• New stroke scoring: strokes, order, accuracy and shape are graded
  separately, and the result marks exactly which strokes cost you points.
• Undo a single wrong stroke instead of clearing the whole character.
• Hint now writes one stroke for you instead of leaving a gap behind.
• Guide and Grid sit where your drawing hand is; on iPad the ink controls
  move beside the canvas.
• Guide and No Guide attempts keep separate personal bests, and the score
  sheet says which record an attempt is headed for.
• The first time you write a kanji unaided, your own drawing is played
  back to you stroke by stroke — and can be shared as a video.

DRAW REVIEW
• Draw is a writing test now, not a memory test: the character and its
  meaning stay on screen, and the rating is capped when a guide or hint
  was used before Check.
• The review canvas gets its own Guide, Grid and stroke hint, and the
  result panel collapses so the drawing stays visible.

ACHIEVEMENTS
• A trophy case shows all ten tracks at once instead of three at a time.
• Achievements are free — no paywall on looking at what you earned.
• Three new drawing tracks: Calligrapher, Explorer and Freehand, all
  earnable to MAX without Premium.
• Level-ups are recognised at the end of a session.

LEARNING
• The help sheet reports where each mode stands in your deck, so it
  answers which mode to run next.
• Quiz shows the answer time behind the rating it gave, and a finished
  daily limit reads as a goal reached.
• Remaining-card counts roll down as you work, and the review queue
  badge moved into the navigation bar.

REMINDERS
• If your streak can still be saved, you are told on the one day it is
  still possible.

ELSEWHERE
• The kanji variant guide opens on the suffix you tapped and breaks it
  into the codes it is made of.
• Every stroke of a kanji is coloured in stroke order.
• The week starts on the day your region starts it.
• Search keeps results on screen while the next query resolves.
• Steadier iCloud sync: clearer reporting when a restore never arrives,
  safer duplicate repair, and recovery from a store that will not open.
• A large accessibility and polish pass: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce
  Motion, haptics and iPad layouts across the app.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-22

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-18
