I LOVE this app! I've literally been looking for something like this for years. It lets you actually practice writing kanji but in a flash card electronic format that uses spaced repetition. It's perfect. I couldn't keep up with having an actual physical practice book because I'm on the go too much. This I can do whenever I have a spare few minutes and I don't have to lug books around. Totally worth the money if you are serious about learning to write and not just read.

Thank you so much for the raving review! We are so happy that Skritter has helped your language journey. Would it be okay if we use this review in some future campaigns (possibly a social media image or an email). We only share the review, not the name. You can let us know at team@skritter.com. Happy studies!

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. :)

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.
