Kanji Write
Read full descriptionHide full description
Learn to write Japanese by hand: kanji, hiragana and katakana, with correct stroke order and instant feedback on every stroke. Kanji Write teaches you to write Japanese stroke by stroke: over 2,000 JLPT kanji plus all hiragana and katakana. Practice with your finger on iPhone or with Apple Pencil on iPad, and build real muscle memory. ◆ Correct Stroke Order Every character is animated stroke by stroke and color-coded, so you learn the right order and direction from the start. No guessing, no bad habits. ◆ Instant Feedback Each stroke you draw is checked against the correct shape and order. Miss a few times in Guided mode and a hint appears automatically. ◆ Trace. Guide. Memorize. Three practice modes: trace over the character, follow the strokes one at a time, then write it from memory with the guides hidden. ◆ Hiragana & Katakana All 46 basic kana in both scripts, plus the voiced forms (が, ぱ…). Search by romaji: type "ka" to find か and カ. ◆ Complete JLPT Library (N5–N1) Filter kanji by JLPT level, search by meaning or reading, and see on'yomi, kun'yomi and meanings for every character. ◆ Built for Apple Pencil & iPad Pressure and tilt shape every stroke like a real brush. On iPad, practice in a notebook-style grid, like a calligraphy workbook. ◆ Quick Sessions Tap play for a random set of characters from any level or script and review your results at the end.

ITFlowPro puts the tools IT pros reach for every day in one fast, tidy app: network tests, security utilities, converters, and a help desk reference library. NEW: A HOME SCREEN THAT WORKS Home is now a set of live tiles, not a list of icons. See your ping time, check a certificate’s days remaining, size a subnet, generate a password, hash some text, or copy the current Unix time without opening a single tool. QUICK CHECK Paste an IP address, domain, or MAC address and ITFlowPro runs the checks that make sense together. • IP address: ping, reverse DNS, location, and common open ports • Domain: DNS records, ping, SSL certificate, and Whois • MAC address: manufacturer and address type Pin the result to your Home tiles to keep an eye on it. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Edit Home to show or hide tiles, make them small or wide, and drag them into the order you want. Prefer the original grid? Switch back to Classic in Settings. On iPad, Home sits at the top of the sidebar with a full-width tile canvas. NETWORK TOOLS • Subnet Calculator: CIDR, ranges, masks, host counts, and binary • IP Converter: decimal, binary, hex, and octal • DNS Lookup: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, and SOA records • Ping and Traceroute: round-trip time from your device (TCP based) • MAC Lookup: identify the manufacturer from a MAC address • Wi-Fi Info: network name, BSSID, and signal strength • Network Scanner, Port Scanner, SSL Inspector, Whois, IP Geolocation, HTTP Builder, DNS Security, and Wake on LAN (Pro) SECURITY • Hash Generator: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 • Base64 encode and decode, including URL-safe • Password Generator with entropy estimates • QR Generator for text, links, and Wi-Fi sign-in • Breach Check (Pro): see if a password has appeared in known breaches.
