Learn Japanese! - Kanji 4+

Best kanji app

I’m really happy I found this app! From having to pay so much on other apps for subscriptions, this is incredibly good. You get all JLPT levels. It shows you stroke order as well as Japanese and English translation. Then also shows where the kanji is used. It also gives tests on what you learnt. ALL for so cheap. ONE TIME PURCHASE. Was only $20 for me in NZ. Where other apps charge so much more for monthly subscription's. I honestly think the app developer should charge more. I’m not rich and have children to look after n low income. But with my budget I would have been able to squeeze out at least $50 for this. Personally I think it it worth more than that. So for future people, if the one time purchase price increases I think it is worth it.

Superb app (with one small area for improvement)

This is an incredibly powerful app for learning kanji - especially if you want to learn the stroke order (which is a powerful way to memorise kanji). The handwriting system is very well-programmed, so it’s easy to do with your finger on iPad/iPhone (no Apple Pencil required).

The only downside is that currently, in review mode (where it picks random kanji that you have learned and quizzes you on them), you can’t choose to focus purely on handwriting - hopefully they change this in the next update. Other than that, highly recommended.

Developer Response ,

I'm glad you like my app.

Each word is asked twice in the review modes. The first time makes sure you remember how to pronounce the word and that you remember the meaning. The second time makes sure you remember how to say it and how to write it.

For example:
The first time would show '一' and you would need to answer 'いち' and then 'one'.
The second time would show 'one' and you would need to answer 'いち' and then draw it or select the kanji if the word has multiple kanji.

Issues

App not allowing me to purchase new sets of kanji, nor is the sound working on a number of the sets
