Ratings and reviews

Works on Android 9 now! FYI for anyone else with the issue you may need to reinstall or like i did go to the app info and clear the cached data. Works like a charm now. Thanks for the replies and quick fixes! OLD REVIEW: Keeps crashing. I can't even get it to launch. The jlptn5 version works fine. I'm on the latest Android on a pixel XL. Android 9. App doesn't even get to a loading screen just crashes instantly. I just reinstalled everything on a new phone 2 days ago and same problem. Pixel 1 XL.

Don't usually bother to write reviews, but this app demands it. Its key appeal is its flexibility. It will accommodate just about any approach to learning Kanji I want to take during any given session, letting me tackle a complex process in continually engaging ways. The app's whole experience bespeaks a lot of effort and thoughtfulness, and I'm legitimately grateful for it. Adding to which it's an app on the Play store that collects no data on its users, which made me smile. Highly recommended.

I love this app! Super useful and intuitive, only problem is that I haven't found out if there's a way to select certain kanji to study rather than having to learn the whole section, but great format and super helpful with stroke order and defining both onyomi and kunyomi
