Nothing beats drawing by hand, but this is the next best thing. Kana Draw, combined with a flash card app, is a great way to learn Hiragana and Katakana. My only recommendation is that a few of the Hiragana symbols use a font more common with machines (text computers etc) vs what is taught for handwriting them (example SO in Hiragana). Maybe have traditional hand writing fonts as an available option.

Great app, it's been very helpful in helping me memorize both hiragana and katakana. The only improvement I would suggest is adding an option to have the romanji displayed with the corresponding character. It would help beginners link the correct sound with the correct character. Otherwise, a wonderful and surprisingly addictive app.

Thanks to this app, I've learned hiragana in a week, and I'm about to start Katakana! I love this app! I have a great time learning stroke order and positioning correctly. I would also love for this app to expand to practice writing not just single characters, but diagraphs or real words containing selected hiragana/katakana. Thank you for this app! Edit: Just realized there is another app from the same developers for vocabulary! Kotoba Boost
