THE KANJI CARD, REDESIGNED The kanji card now reads as one piece: the character sits close under its readings, the story shows at its full height instead of inside a tiny scroll box, and a long card scrolls as a whole. On iPad, every card that opens in the side panel is now exactly the same size, however you opened it — and in the light theme, a highlighted component keeps the rest of the character faintly visible around it. ONE HOME, ONE LOOK The bottom bar is now identical wherever it appears — including your progress dashboard being one tap away from every hub screen — and the light/dark mode follows you everywhere instead of flickering back when you return a page. FRESHER CARDS The card set is updated with months of corrections — refined grammar explanations, repaired example sentences, and newly recorded audio. AND UNDER THE HOOD Updating the app no longer risks showing a stale page from the previous version, and tapping and holding a tile no longer triggers the iOS text selection bubble on its neighbour.

Version 2.0 — the grammar deck, finished. —— 109 NEW GRAMMAR PATTERNS —— The grammar deck grows from 502 to 611. The gaps that mattered most were the ones a learner meets first: これ／それ／あれ, joining adjectives with 〜くて, the な before a noun, もう〜ました／まだ〜ていません, and the three commonest connectives — しかし, そして, だから. The formal tail is filled in too, from 〜ざるを得ない through to the rarest N1 forms. Every one of them was written by a Japanese teacher and then handed to a second, independent teacher whose only job was to disagree. Where the two disagreed, the card was rewritten. —— EVERY EXAMPLE STILL SPOKEN —— All 611 grammar examples are read aloud in the same natural voice, stored on the device. Nothing here needs a connection. —— TAPS THAT LEAD SOMEWHERE —— Tapping a word in an example opens that word's card. Over a hundred of those taps used to open nothing at all, and a few opened the wrong word. They now open the right card, and where there is no card to open, the word is simply plain text rather than a dead tap. —— A BIGGER KANJI ON iPAD —— On iPad the kanji drawing shares the screen with the board instead of covering it — and it was rendering at half the size it should have. The components are coloured, and now they are large enough to read. —— GRAMMAR TIERS, REBALANCED —— The eight frequency tiers were uneven after the deck grew. They are level again, and no pattern changed the tier a learner already knew it by. Free. No adverts, no accounts, no tracking. Works offline.

Version 1.2 — spoken examples, deeper links, light & dark. —— EVERY EXAMPLE, SPOKEN —— All 6,376 Goi example sentences — and every Bunpou pattern example — are now read aloud in a clear, natural-sounding Japanese voice. Tap the speaker on any sentence to hear it. Listening while you read is one of the fastest ways to make a new word stick, and it's all bundled for offline use. —— A DEEPER WEB OF LINKS —— The tap-to-jump links that tie the corpus together keep growing: over 27,000 links now run through the example sentences (up from ~18,000). Follow an unfamiliar word from any sentence straight to its own tile, and from a Kanji card's compounds back into Goi — the app reads more like one connected environment than a stack of separate cards. —— MORE TO STUDY —— The Goi pool grew to 6,382 tiles (from 5,271), and the Kanji deck to 2,228 (from 1,201), now reaching across the full JLPT range. Same frequency-first ordering — there's just more of it. —— LIGHT & DARK —— Pick light or dark mode to suit the room and the hour. The whole interface has had a visual pass as well — cleaner type, calmer spacing, a more sleekly finished feel throughout, on both iPhone and iPad. No account, no ads, no tracking, fully offline.

Version 1.1 — iPad joins iPhone. The whole app is now laid out for iPad in landscape. Tiles on the left; an ambient side panel keeps the open back-face beside the grid instead of overlaying it; ukiyo-e–inspired vignettes sit behind each pillar's home view. iPhone behaviour is unchanged. iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad now propagates in both directions — make progress on one device and pick up on the other within seconds. No account, no setup, no server. Also in this release: • Goi category picker expands to all 8 tiers in place, so jumping between Tier 1 and Tier 6 nouns is one tap, not two. • Bushu cross-reference fixed — tapping a kanji-in-pool chip now keeps its Examples and Radical chips alive. • Restored the "How am I doing?" progress meter (silently broken since the engine refactor). • Long-press to mark-known tuned for iPad's touch profile. • Daily-reminder toggle in Settings now persists across cold starts.
