Minor tweak for when writing kanji during study.

User reviews

Impressive

I’ve been interested in understanding the characters behind the heart sutra and have printed out paper versions of how to draw each word. This app is allowing me to go much further and not only quickly learn the characters I am interested in but also exposing me to an entire universe of language. Thank you for your work building this tool.

Love love love it

I have tried many apps for JLPT study and this is hands down the best app. The only thing I would add is vocal recordings for every single vocab word but otherwise it’s perfect for studying as WELL as goal setting. You can set a date that you want a certain deck memorized by and it will give you a certain amount of items to review for each day so if you keep up with it, then you will reach your goal by the date you set. Love it :)

Really, really, really love this.

This is a prime example of why people who are learning languages should also be the ones who develop apps and programs to learn said languages! Highly recommend for anyone studying Japanese. I particularly like how now next time I need to look up a word, I can also have a mini study session and practice it. I’m also looking forward to trying out the newsfeed feature so I can practice reading more!

Bad app to choose if you want to sync

Can’t get the app to sync between my iPad and iPhone, and lost over a week of progress. Can’t seem to delete the files to start from the beginning. The app is not useful to me; I think I’ll try Anki.

Good but some mistakes

I’ve had the app for half an hour and I’ve found a few mistakes already. Eg the reading for 缶 and 空間. Is there some way to report these?

Response from developer

Always good to talk to the developer with app questions. 空間 has 2 readings, both are shown in the dictionary. 缶 has 3, also shown.
