Fixed an issue where the free-trial screen sometimes didn't appear on first launch.

KanaDaruma now begins with a 3-day free trial. • Every lesson, word, and Situation is included in the trial from day one • Subscribe or restore a previous purchase to keep learning after the trial ends

Make a daruma vow—and let every study day bring the doll’s second eye closer. • Promise 7, 14, or 30 study days. The first eye is painted when you begin, the second when you reach your goal, and missed days never erase your progress • Onboarding progress moves steadily forward through the final steps • Kana tiles grow with your system text size for more comfortable reading • Japanese lesson choices use the same instructional face as the kana you learn, at a clearer size • Premium benefits now match why the Premium screen opened

Sumi ink, streak shields, and kana drawn the way you write them. • Your day now holds three drops of sumi ink, spent on new chapters and Situations. Due review never costs ink and is never blocked • A streak shield carries your streak through one missed day • Kana you study are set in a new bundled face built from handwritten forms, so the shape you copy is the shape you see, on every phone • Reminders can be turned on right after your first lesson instead of hiding in Settings • Small text is larger and easier to read across the app

Try handwriting scoring, and fixes to what you hear after an answer. • Your first handwriting dictation is now free, including the full five-part Daruma Score • The yearly plan shows the monthly rate of the price you actually pay in your first year • A word you build out of kana is no longer read back as a single letter • A pairing round no longer reads out one of its five words, or names it as the answer, when the round was about all five • Premium now has its own place on the Me tab

Word lessons stopped being four shapes of the same question. • Say it in Japanese: the meaning is the question and the Japanese is the answer • Write what you heard: build the word from the clip alone, with nothing spelled out • Fill the gap: one kana is cut out, and the choices are the ones learners really confuse • Match words to their meanings, which word chapters never actually offered before • The word builder is cued by the meaning now; the reading is one tap away if you need it • A new word shows its Japanese first, and the meaning waits for you to ask

JLPT N2 and N1 now teach. • 20 new chapters and 96 new words across N2 and N1, on top of N5, N4 and N3 • Start at any stage directly instead of clearing 88 earlier chapters first • Answering now shows the word with its kanji, reading and meaning, plays it aloud, and names the word you confused it with • A new Situation: registering at a clinic reception, at JLPT N4 • Every new word has audio in the app's own voice and a gloss in all eight languages
