Ratings and Reviews
Great Kanji App- Best So Far
I'd been waiting for this to be released, and it hasn't disappointed. Great app- fantastic as a kanji resource, not to mention the testing facilities which use SRS (Spaced-Repitition Software) to help you study for the various JLPT exams. Can't recommend it highly enough.
If I had one suggestion for the next version, it would be the ability to turn off one of the testing areas in terms of getting a kanji "right" in the SRS- for example, if you are just learning the meaning, readings and/or writing, you could turn off the others and just be tested on this.
Fantastic app!
A convenient app but a couple of issues
My experience with this app is, at the time of writing, brief and my initial thoughts and impressions are very positive: the app teaches the kanji quite thoroughly, and has tests for each aspect of the kanji (meaning, on'yomi/kun'yomi, stroke order, etc), and it's separated into the different levels (JLPT/jōyō grades) so progression is consistent. You can save tricky kanji into separate practice or review lists so you don't have to keep testing on kanji you've already assimilated. However, I will say that, for me at least, the kanji stroke order animations became very quick, almost impossible to follow, so the stroke order tests were mostly guesswork (or ones I remembered from university). Also, as great as having tests on the separate parts of the kanji as individual tests, it would be great to have a mixed test too, for example, questions about meanings, readings, and stroke order all jumbled into a single practice space. But perhaps that's just me...
Overall, I like it. Good job.
Great tool
It helps me with my JLPT prep very well, but it feels strange that there is no vocabulary test/quiz like there is for the kanjis.
