Ratings and reviews

I like the simplicity and straight forwardness of this app compared to others, but it does have some issues. There are many times when the app will register my kanji writing as wrong, even though I swear I did the stroke order right. On the flipside, I've had completely botched strokes that the app still registered as correct. It makes practicing stroke order quite frustrating. Also, does the Review Frequency slider even work? Despite sliding it down completely, I still get frequent reviews.

Sometimes when I get the kanji completely wrong it somehow still counts it as right. It has also counted some as wrong some of the time. Something else I discovered is it teaches readings wrong. The one I noticed is 何本, which should be read as なんぼん(nanbon), but the app says it's is なんほん(nanhon). I would be surprised if this wasn't a problem with other words as well. It also messes up pitch accent for many words. The app is great for learning the Jouyou kanji, but it needs serious improvement.

I really do like the app but I have 2 big problems with it. Every time I open the app it prompts me to select an account for data sync and I always select the same account but when I switched phones it turns out none of my data was saved and I had to redo everything. My other big issue is that I really hate how the past due reviews reset each time you leave the session. It makes it hard to want to use it if you have a lot of words piled up because you are made to do it all at once.
