Remembering the Kanji

Useful as a reference to quickly recall primitive elements for the kanji. No stories are provided (likely due to copyright). It would be helpful if you could reveal the kanji elements to see how some kanji build upon one another. Instead, many say “Please consult the book”.

If you are using the book this is a great companion app as long as you don't care at all about spaced repetition. However if you are like me, and don't want to waste time studying things you don't need to study, and require the efficiency of SRS, than this app is a little bit of a let down. Hopefully they add SRS for both writing and reading in the future. If they do it will be the perfect companion app, but till then I'm not using it. But again, if you don't care about SRS I think you will enjo

Review is a critical feature of the Remembering the Kanji method. When I purchased it, I just assumed it had an SRS system built in. It doesn't. This app is relegated to a reference only, of which there are many. Without SRS review, it's incomplete.

Great as a companion app for the book. The Study Lists are a great way to keep track of your progress by placing, for example, all the kanji you’ve learned in a week into 1 study list. Unfortunately, this app does NOT have a SRS (spaced repetition software); but it’s not like it needs it, after all you can just use Anki or Koohii. TL;DR: great for sort-term study and keeping track of your progress.

2 things would get it 5 stars. - preload Heisig stories - app should remember where I left off on a study list. It’s not fun when you’re trying to practice 500 randomized kanji, get through half the list, pause and then cannot continue from where I left off. Adding an SRS kind of memorization system would be great.
