Kanji Book

love the look of this app—it’s so different from all its competitors but it’s really not helpful that the app doesn’t teach pronunciation by way of audio or even just hiragana. so while it’s super useful for visual memorization it’s really not for speaking. and if it is that this options is available, then it wasn’t obvious to me and could then use some improvement!

I just started and already know about 300+ kanji going in. I love how it is self paced, no timers, you can revisit cards as often as you like (with cute incentives), and the program shows you the stroke order! My favorite little surprise was the compound words game where you can build your vocabulary and discover just how practical a pictographic text can be (no furigana given, but I have my jisho for that). I would have liked audio, but if you know your hiragana going into using this app, you a

I love how straightforward this app is…but s couple more features would take it to another level: 1) Regarding the stroke hints, if a kanji has a radical that’s been previously taught, give that radical/kanji as a hint. Even native Japanese speakers learn kanji based on component radicals. 2) The ability to edit my list and add kanji learned outside the app. I’ve learned so many new kanji since starting to use this app and it’d be cool to see that reflected.

It is amazing but I think you should add the pronunciation of each kanji along with how to write it.

I'm very glad that I found something without it charging for money. I have a mere complaint though. I wish that I could review and do tests for specific kanji characters instead of it being randomized for me. I have some trouble with memorizing readings for certain kanji.
