Could be better…
First off, this is a large, and comprehensive app, and most users studying RTK, particularly RTK1 and RTK3 exclusively, won’t use most of it. In October, they did fix some errors/changes introduced in the September 2026 update, in addition to the lingering inability to sort Study Lists. However, the swipe gesture they reintroduced is not as good as it used to be. Before September, it was faster, smoother, but now it is too slow and distracting. You can turn it off when flipping through cards, but that’s, in many ways, more jarring. Also, 30 keywords for the RTK3 don’t match the RTK3 3rd edition text. In Anki, you can fix this yourself, but not in this app. I sent in a bug report, so hopefully they’ll fix it like they fixed that old sorting chestnut.
The study lists are worth the price of admission alone, assuming that the previous swipe animation returns, and if you find bugs and write to them, there’s a chance they’ll fix them. Just don’t expect them to acknowledge your contribution.

Helpful but could use improvements
This app has been super helpful for me working through the book, though it’s not without its faults. If this thing had an SRS and it imported stories more easily, everyone would be buying this thing. Forget ANKI.
Also, the latest app update for some reason removed the feature where you could tap on the flashcards to flip them, which was very convenient. Now you can only press the clunky “flip card” button. Why? I don’t know, but it feels less smooth.
That being said, the app is useful if you really use it with your studies and is great for on the go study.
EDIT 10/12/26 : It’s almost as if the updates are making it worse. Every time I complete a set of flashcards, the app completely crashes.
Another thing I forgot to mention last time is it also no longer says “added X amount of cards to X list,” which was helpful to know you did the right thing.
To their credit they fixed the flipping feature, but with these other issues, it went from a 3 to a 2 rating for me.

Good app but please add ability to say if we got a flash card right or wrong and if wrong show again
Really good companion app to the book and it’s great to have the flash cards ready to add to a list as you work through the chapters. Two things to make it even better: can you please let us say if we got a flash card correct or not, and if we didn’t, keep showing it in the queue until we mark it as correct. Secondly, can you let Apple Pencil features work with the writing. It’s great to use the pencil but would be amazing if the erase function worked so we don’t have to start from scratch!

Wonderful companion app to book!
Lovely app. Thank you! If there was any suggestion for easier studying for the way I learn would be to have a form of next button when in writing practice mode so do not have to go back two screens to practice writing the following kanji in the same lesson.
