*Edited after developer response: Jumps ahead without much logic to the kanji being introduced. Would be more useful if it solidified simple and common kanji first, but it doesn't bring them back often enough after gold status- leading to low retention. Not helpful if your goal is to learn meaning or pronunciation. The emphasis is only on stroke order. This is ok for reviewing kanji learned elsewhere. *The study sets are not intuitive to access & help info does not explain them at all.
Thank you for your review. The Kanji introduced is based on grade school character progression. To 'choose which ones to practice' you need to use the 'Study Sets' feature. Here you can create your own custom groupings or choose existing 'JLPT level' or 'Remembering the Kanji'. Kanji Draw delivery is not random but spaced repetition learning.

The app has a robust catalogue, but it's poorly designed and annoying to use. Just one example: after you make a mistake, you can click a "Try Again" button to try again... but if you tap anywhere other than that button (including while the clunky animation hasn't finished showing the page yet), then you close the page and skip to the next character instead.

I'm really excited to try the new update and reset my progress to start getting gold from the beginning, but uhhh... I can't write anything anymore. I don't know if it's just me but after a few minutes of searching I realized that the blank space under the card is supposed to be the canvas. Nothing's showing, no grid or strokes at all. Maybe it's just my old device but if not I really hope it's fixed soon :') Edit: Thank you so much for the quick fix!

Update: I definitely found an issue with the canvas recalibration for existing installs. This has been fixed in the recent v5.0.1 update. Hopefully this is the reason for your issue. Thank you so much for posting your issue so I was able to find the bug and address it.
