• SMART QUIZ
A quick and easy way to focus on specific flashcards: those you struggle the most with, or that you should review a bit more
• CUSTOM QUIZ
Maximum flexibility for advanced users, choose entries to be quizzed on (by applying filters, and optionally refine selection manually), choose the kind of flashcards (reading, writing, speaking and understanding) for each entry family, and input mode
Plus:
- 3 different quiz inputs: multiple choice (4 propositions), keyboard (type the answer, better to recall the information from your memory), and drawing (draw the kanji or kana with your finger or pencil) with automatic recognition (feels like magic, and you can adjust it's sensitivity)
- If you get a question wrong or pass: you have the opportunity to pause the quiz and review the entry details so you memorize it for the next time. Here you go, learned something new!

Great as a tool to remember kanji! It’s the first app I’ve found that actually lets you practice writing kanji in addition to remembering it through a flashcards practice! I recommend it for people who need an additional tool for learning to supplement other apps/ courses.
Great

I tried many apps for learning the Japanese alphabet but this is the only one working. I just love everything about it🥰
Great, but don’t force payment to continue
💜✨Maya Kuromi✨🖤
It’s one of the best free apps for learning kanji. I love the idea of the app but when I try to take a quiz and do some exercises it stops me and to continue I have to pay. It would be great if you found a different way to advertise and not in the middle of the quiz.

I wish there was a way to reset progress, I am coming back to studying after over a year and forgot a lot and I have a lifetime license on this account. I would like to start over, but I see no way to do that.
Developer Response
Thank you Szzolimus! I will work on implementing your suggestions in a future update! Happy that you like the app! Best of luck for your Japanese learning!
