Ratings and reviews

This app is good for N4 proficiency+ wanting to improve on kanji you have already studied. It's not for an introduction, but does mention the pronounciations. There are sentences to fill as usual, but after it shows a fun illustration which helps if you didn't quite understand the sentence. It also draws a 'perfect' form of the kanji under your brush strokes so you can see the ideal shapes. It's also smooth-functioning compared to a lot of similar apps.

This app is one of the best I've seen for mobile, as it includes stroke order, and your strokes are given form and thickness. This really helps when writing, as you can get a better understanding of the exact shapes of each character. The only thing I would add/change is including English meanings, coming from someone who is learning japanese as a second language. However, I understand that teaching non native speakers was not this apps intended use. 100% would recommend.

This is an excellent addition to my studies on Japanese. But, I wouldn't be able to learn anything by itself, luckily I have a Japanese/English dictionary to help me translate everything. Definitely worth installing if you have other resources to help you with it.
