Ratings and reviews

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

Great app but it doesn't follow the method the book recommends. Keyword first, then Kanji. This only goes from Kanji then flip to keyword. It might be a simple fix in an update that can fix this. 4 stars, nearly perfect other than it doesn't follow the correct studying method the book recommends.

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.
