HanziAgain helps people who can recognize Chinese characters but want to remember how to write them by hand. Practice at your own pace: • Trace a reference or recall a character from memory. • Search 3,000 simplified and 3,000 traditional characters in the bundled offline library. • See stroke order, hear Mandarin pronunciation, and write with Apple Pencil or your finger. • Check a completed character with on-device recognition and deterministic stroke-alignment guidance. • Review local history, score trends, saved drawings, and strokes that need more practice. Create in Studio: • Build local, autosaved compositions with writing guides and adjustable ink. • Start a new composition at 2 × 2 cells, or enter your preferred rows and columns. • Zoom, pan, rename, duplicate, undo, redo, and export your work. • Share PNG or SVG exports to destinations you choose, or add PNG exports to Photos. Practice, Library, and History are free. Free Studio includes one work up to 10 × 10 cells, all writing guides and ink controls, and plain PNG export without a watermark. Studio Lifetime is an optional one-time in-app purchase. It unlocks unlimited works, layouts up to 30 × 30, paper materials, a reusable name seal, mounting styles, complete presentation PNG exports, and SVG export. There is no subscription. Purchases are processed by Apple and can be restored from Settings. Private by design: • No account. • No advertising, analytics, or tracking. • No handwriting uploads. • Drawings, practice history, recognition, and the character catalog stay on device. HanziAgain provides handwriting-practice guidance, not calligraphy assessment. Version 2.0 requires iOS or iPadOS 27 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HanziAgain at none against Faker 3's shown. Faker 3's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 27.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
