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.

Very effective. I've learned a lot of kanji reasonably quickly with this app. Some minor issues with a few characters getting marked wrong for no clear reason e.g. 青 and 変. Occasionally, the definitions are too similar so it's hard to distinguish them. Also shi vs ichi for 市. There's no way to distinguish which is being asked for when both are options at the same time. I wish that when one makes a mistake it would give a second chance rather than showing you the character immediately. Finished!

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.
