Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant and addictive
This is a truly excellent app. It's has several modes to help you learn, practise mode where you trace the on-screen kana either in a hand drawn script or printed script form. You can alsl set it so that not character is presented so you have to remember it unaided-a nice little self test. Then of course it has a proper test mode where it asks you for a character , you draw it out on the screen and then you compare it to the actual character. You then have to manually state whether you have it correct or not for it to track you progress. This is a little clunky, but acceptable. I have managed to thoroughly memorise both syllabaries in a couple of days and can read signs and notices easily now rather than slowly spelling them out. My only issue is that the template hand-drawn characters are a little wobbly and not at as often presented in text books. It's almost as though a non-Japanese speaker/writer has input them in themselves without the required manual dexterity. It's a small issue. Oh and I have a sore right index finger from being addicted to this app! It's really great and I can't wait to get started on the kanji version!

Just what I was after
Excellent tool with everything you need to learn to read and write hiragana and katakana. One thing that would be appreciated is overviews of the full sets together but these can be found with a quick search of google images so app gets 5 stars. The different tests for Reading and writing are invaluable. Cheers!
Perfect tool
Great app that delivers exactly what the beginner needs, a simple way to learn or revise their character writing skills. Highly recommended for anyone studying at beginner level.
