Nonfunctional on current iPadOS

Please update.

Maybe the best way to quickly learn kuzushiji

The app is well organized to guide the beginner through a progressive memorization of most of the kana and a certain number of kanji. It really makes the task of learning kuzushiji somehow fun, eluding the frustration of learning tons of characters at once.
I don’t know why the app requires an internet connection to correctly open. I hope this will be corrected in a further update (I can’t use the app while on the plane, that is annoying).

It is a must download for every student of premodern literature and also a good entertainment for old documents lovers.
