Good

Recently the app has only been showing a couple kanji on repeat, I think the algorithm might be broken.

I owe my A in Japanese to you

FANTASTIC app really helped me learn kanji! Especially good for learning stroke order!

Fantastic app.

I would recommend it to anyone at all whoโ€™s learning Japanese.

Type in answer?

I wish there was an option to type in the answer for the reading portion. I strongly recommend adding this feature. During the reading portion, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remember the On-Yomi or Kun-Yomi Reading.

NEVER Seen a Better Kanji Writing App

Iโ€™ve looked for plenty Kanji writing apps, but this one is the greatest. If you know a kanji and need to learn how to write it, go straight here.
