Ratings and reviews

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.

The app is very good and useful, the best out there that I have been able to find, but there is no way to save your lists and what you have studied between devices. Meaning you could use this app for a year on one phone, then that phone could stop working or die and when you get a new phone you would have lost all your lists and everything that you studied and saved. You need some kind of account to save your lists and progress to. Like a Google account or something.
