Quite good

A good way to learn kanji.
However, if more radicals were identified and explained, it would accelerate learning.

The ability to vary and have so much control over the test modes is excellent.

Developer Response ,

Kanji Components was added.
Progress should not be forgotten on update. Furthermore you can always backup your progress to iCloud or your PC.

Exactly what I wanted

I love the fact that I can write and compare my stroke order for the kanji. I was previously using an SRS and handwriting the kanji and even though I might get the kanji right, I'd wonder whether the stroke order was correct and would have to flick through my textbook which just became tedious.

It might seem a little pricey but it's definitely worth it. I'm currently working through "Remembering the Kanji" and I use it all the time.

Worthwhile investment

If you really want to learn kanji, this is worth the money. I am slowly but surely increasing my 'vocabulary'. A few additions would be great, like being able to slowly introduce smaller sets of kanji at a time, seeing examples of kanji used in words, and being able to immediately practice a kanji that you get wrong in a test. But this is definitely a good investment.
