This app would be greatly improved if there was a search within a specific deck option. For when you find a kanji out in the wild and want to add it to your study routine. Manually searching through the N1, N2, or Core 6k / 10k decks is very impractical. That being said, you should still get this app. An excellent study resource. Cross platform as well! Edit: Another find. It seems there are no timezone settings for those of us that are currently in Japan using this app!

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We will most likely have more search functions in the future. Your best option right now will probably be to make a custom study deck that you can add words to as they come up in the wild. At the moment, you need to manually change your timezone. Please contact us at team@skritter.com if you have any questions.

I enjoy doing Skritter on both Japanese and Chinese! However, I have one problem with this app. When writing hiragana, you have to be ridiculously precise to register a single stroke. This really infuriated me, regardless of how precise I was, the stroke did not register. I really hope you fix this on the app. Thank you.

The beta app was just released as a non beta version (3.3.6) and it fixes this! If you'd like, we'd really appreciate what you think after giving it a go. :)

The writing experience is great. Feels pretty natural for a screen, although a stylus is a must to properly get a feel for the motions. Unfortunately, since a recent update, writing seems a bit off from where the stylus is on the screen. Also, while doing a writing exercise the app crashed completely. I still stand by the following, as it relates to a different bug. Developer response time is incredibly fast as well. I believe I saw a bug disappear within 24 hours of reporting it. 👏

Thanks for the review! Running into endless popups does sound ridiculous. We've had reports of this issue from a few people, but haven't been able to reproduce it on our end. Could you email team@skritter.com (you can use the Help button on the menu drawer) and let us know what settings you have on/off. We'd love to fix the problem!
