Чудное приложение!

Прекрасное приложение, надеюсь на будущее добавление иероглифов для N2 и N1

아주 조아용

일본어를 처음 시작할때 쓰면 아주 도움이 되는 앱입니다. 쓰는것을 위주로 하실거면 이 앱을 완전추천합니다. 장점 : 렉이 거의 없고 활용성 1000점 단점 : 영어로 카키쿠(kakiku)식으로 되어있어요.. 정리하자면 이 앱은 초보자한테는 아주 좋고 장점이 단점보다 많다! 그러니까 한번 써보세요~ 강력추천합니다..!

Please add N2 kanji

This is honestly one of my favorite apps, I use it to anchor all my kanji! Now that I've reached N2, I’m really sad to find out there are no kanji for this level here... Please developers, add them! 😊

Extremely good. I would love it more if it had these three things:

I am right in the middle of learning hiragana, so I can’t speak for the entire app, but three things I would love to have are:

1. A very basic section of the app that lets me practice the basic building block strokes.

2. It would be nice if the program could show what I need to improve upon to have an acceptable attempt. The reason I would like this is because while the app is quite lenient in accepting my attempts (which I appreciate as someone brand new to Japanese!), the hiragana for [a] and [no] for some reason are extremely picky sometimes. This is why I think the first thing on my list would be helpful to have, too!

3. Another feature that would be extremely helpful is a practice mode that randomly asks me to write all to the kana I have learned so far. So instead of having to go from the pure vowel group, then moving to the ka group, then to the ra group etc., I could practice everything I’ve learned so far, at random.

Thank you!
