I like that it only has the radicals from RTK, so you can create stories by yourself without the book specific stories for the first section. My only problem is that the stroke animation is completely glitched. So, learning/reviewing the kanji through the app is completely pointless because you can't remember the how the kanji looks/is drawn, which is half of RTK's point

I have been using this app daily for the past few weeks and finding it very useful. I started studying the first Heisig book about 15 years ago but didn't get far - I am finding the app (with the ability to put in my own memory-jogging stories and with the reading and writing flashcards a much better way to use the Heisig method). Update: Mirai have added a new feature that allows easy access to your customised story from flashcards in read mode. Very useful! Great support too! Changed 4 to 5.

Please make the "clear" button in the practice tab more sensitive. It would also be useful to add a bookmark function for the lessons/kanji to more easily find where to continue. Also being able to star a kanji during testing would be useful to remember notable ones (to add to or remove from a list). Otherwise I've been using this app in conjunction with the book and it's been extremely useful in practicing what I've learned. Definitely worth the small payment :)
