### 4/5 — 有料で広告無し版があれば欲しい

*2025-03-11, version 10.5*

広告を消すために付き添わなければならないので広告無し版があれば嬉しいです

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-10-05, version 10.0*

I like this app. Great variety of kanji. It’s easy to learn and memorise.

### 5/5 — 有料で漢字を選べるようにしてほしい！

*2018-04-23, version 9.6*

○ロボがかわいい
○厳密すぎなくて、イヤにならない
○よくできましたマークがはげみになる

△漢字を選べない
△パスしたあと戻れない
△広告表示を消すのが、子供に難しい
△スタートがあっていれば、ちがう部分まで書いてしまっても丸になる（田の外枠を一筆で四角にかく、など）

漢字を選べるようになる
テストを選んだ漢字だけでつくれる
ができたら、有料でも買います！！

でもかわいくて、漢字大の苦手のムスコも楽しそうにやってます♪

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい！

*2017-12-19, version 9.6*

１年生の娘が、ロボを追いかけながら楽しんで学習してます。
こんな素晴らしいアプリをフリーで提供されている製作者様に感謝です！

### 3/5 — 良いとは思いますが…

*2016-06-06, version 9.2*

無料ですし、良いと思うのですが時々 書き順が間違っています。
今の所 気付いたのは “雨”です。
他にもあるかも知れません。
確認し訂正して下さると嬉しいです。

### 4/5 — Excellent except

*2016-03-29*

It needs to have an option to turn off all hints.
And a button to expose it.
For example:
When I ask my daughter , what's this kanji, she simply reads the Hiragana if she forgets .
I would like to be able to turn that off so she has to think about what it is . And if I want a button to expose the hint .

### 1/5 — 良いと思ったけど

*2016-03-09, version 5.6*

名、の漢字で引っかかります。

### 4/5 — Solid kanji app

*2016-01-07*

If I could control the music volume I would give this 5 stars. This app is simple to use, and I love that it has a practice mode and a battle mode. Both will check your stroke order, but in battle mode wrong answers count as a hit against you. My 7-year-old and I enjoy using it, and even my 4-year-old is able to practice!

### 5/5 — Excelent

*2015-11-19, version 5.4*

This app is very good. I learned all the kanji, thanks!

### 2/5 — Not bad for practicing stroke order, but some mistakes

*2014-11-25*

There are some errors in pronunciation ("10" "十" "じゅう" "juu" sounding like "zuu") maybe due to poor sound recording, and some romaji written incorrectly. This app is helpful for practicing stroke order, though.
