Ratings and reviews

Been looking for an app that could (hopefully) help me learn Kanji, and remember the difference between all of them. So far, it's perfect. I love the quirky off-beat descriptions they all have, and they unironically stick with me and help me remember them. I only wish I could do more lessons every day. It seems to have a daily limit, or at least a cool-down period, so I can't just blaze through all the lessons at once, which I guess might be a good thing. Anyway, I have high hopes.

only suggestion is to anglasize the name since it's oriented towards language learners. lowkey could not find the app after I downloaded it. seems like a pretty decent app overall though

app design is better than the other one, but it's still not user friendly because it doesn't seem like it's using my user synonyms and forcing me to add "to" to words to submit. the other app had some leeway when that happened and as an advanced learned I don't need so much hand holding with my responses

What’s new

**Uparupa 1.6.0 — “Offline hardening”**

Uparupa now works reliably offline. Reviews and lessons you complete without a connection. Radical images and audio are cached on your device.

**Also in this release:**

* Lessons now explain near-miss kanji readings instead of simply marking them wrong.
* Faster launches — Uparupa no longer re-syncs everything every time you open the app.
* Many fixes to ensure queued reviews are never lost, submitted under the wrong account, or asked twice.
