Great app!
I’ve only had this app for a little bit, but I am already learning a lot. I appreciate how when you look at the individual “symbols” they include commonly used words they are in and their romaji. A nice feature would be though would be symbols searcher, where if you draw a “sign” and it will show the sign and the romaji and whatever.
United StatesA well-designed and -implemented app
I am enjoying my initial experience having just drilled my 1st ten characters. There is a bit of a learning curve in understanding all the functionalities available. It's not entirely clear within the app what certain settings are for, however to the developer's credit there is excellent documentation at the provided link in the info section. Overall it provides a powerful approach to learning the Japanese characters. A few things I'd appreciate: - mixed test mode where it varies the question formats to stimulate learning in different ways and to keep things fresh - intelligent adding of characters to practice then test sessions as one's test results improve (as it stands one must manually set which characters to work on)
United StatesiOS 9 multitasking and split view support not available
Ideally I could practice while leaving a chat or important page open on the side of the screen.
United StatesGreat App, Wonderful Support!😀
After running into a few major issues one of the developer's other apps (which ended up being the fault of my device ) and emailing the developer I received immediate support. This app itself is smooth, simple, and fantastic for learning to write the kana. The app is all about utility and it performs! There is a huge amount of content and many ways to test yourself and learn. The most unique and helpful feature that it offers is the ability to grade your own writing and stroke order in a step by step manner. There is no automatic writing detector to be picky and mark you wrong because the angle was "slightly off". This app makes studying and learning Japanese a breeze! It is an absolute must have for any learner! Thank you Jan for bringing this helpful tool to life! I don't have a single regret in purchasing this app and it's upgrade!

United StatesUnique works
Practice writing hiragana and katakana with touch screen. You can select sections of the alphabet and practice and then test yourself. This is an amazing app that works. Ive tried to learn stuff like this in the past but it feels much easier and faster with this.
