this app used to be good. now it's terrible. not only do my saved lists keep getting deleted on some updates, but they've removed important settings around what shows up when you're studying. I'm trying to study kanji and guess the pronunciations of the characters, but the app is providing the pronunciations! and I cannot figure out for how to change it.

I've been using this app for the past 2 years to study Japanese Kanji alongside my Japanese classes in college and I am very happy with it. I can organize my kanji in lists, which I can put into folders. I do wish I could transfer some lists to other folders, but still 10/10 I had the option to rate my experience with the ads in the app. I has to open the app back up to see where the ads were, because I had never really noticed them before. They only show up in 1 place and are not invasive.

This is a really, really good app, but quite frankly, this version of the app is inferior in many ways to the apple version of this app. This one doesn't have the draw to search for kanji function, which is extremely limiting and required me to download a separate app. The other version allowed to search for multiple words in the search bar at the same time (like copy pasting a whole sentence) and the results would show each word in order. This one only allows searching for one word at a time.
