One of the better learning apps

While it's a little overpriced, this app provides features not found in any of the other Japanese teaching apps I've tried. The ability to create your own word sets and import/export them is great, and the search engine is very well done. The testing side of things is not as good as iKanji Touch, but still decent.

Overall, a very good piece of software, the only things stopping a five star rating are the price and the test system.

Edit: With the recent acquisition of an iPad, I've found this app to be a rather lacking in that it only runs in portrait mode on an iPad (though at least it's had its graphics updated), which is very limiting. Guess I'll be sticking to using it on my iPhone only.

2nd Edit: Now handles rotation on the iPad, and has had the interface changed somewhat. And the Dropbox syncing should mean we don't keep losing all our data when updating in future...
