Kanji Book Hack 1.37 + Redeem Codes

I’m updating my review now that I’ve spent a few weeks using this app. I think it’s pretty fantastic! I have dozens of apps for learning Japanese, and I have found few that teach writing the kanji. There are a couple of things I love about this one. The kanji are presented in an order that makes sense for actually learning to write kanji. Other apps that also focus on vocabulary building present kanji that are difficult to remember how to write very early on, which is frustrating. Also, since it’s not SRS, there’s no mounting backlog of reviews if you take a day or two off. SRS is fabulous but my life right now is too hectic to commit to daily study. I have been studying Japanese for a while so the kanji so far are all familiar. I’m not sure this would be an ideal introduction to kanji. The simplicity of this app is a wonderful thing, but it necessarily leaves out a lot of info. That being said the link to Jisho is brilliant - if you want more, go there! I don’t think adding tons of more stuff would make it better though - I like the focus on straight up memorizing kanji writing. The only addition that I might like would be an option to display the Japanese word for the compounds, such as ふたり and むいか, before dismissing. But, maybe that would be overload. Also, I love the interface - it’s very pleasing. The stickers are a cute feature.

I just started and already know about 300+ kanji going in. I love how it is self paced, no timers, you can revisit cards as often as you like (with cute incentives), and the program shows you the stroke order! My favorite little surprise was the compound words game where you can build your vocabulary and discover just how practical a pictographic text can be (no furigana given, but I have my jisho for that). I would have liked audio, but if you know your hiragana going into using this app, you are SET. Love this product! As a teacher of languages myself, I highly recommend it. Thank you for making and keeping it free!

I’m at approx 1000 Kanji and this app legitimately is helping me reach my goal of learning how to read Japanese! It started asking me about on' and kun'yomi and I’m not sure if that will be helpful to me but I’m willing to give it a shot! While I’m no where read fluent, this app and a little bit of word and grammar knowledge have gotten me this far.

My only gripe are the bugs where the screen stays stuck on the opening screen or when other things glitch out but you seem aware and attentive of them.

Thank you, this has been a major help!

I love this app, it is very good and provides stroke order, great simple tests, and has both on’yomi and kun’yomi written in hiragana(good practice)!! Nothing negative about this app.

My only suggestion is that for compounds, we can have a way to see how to pronounce them. Trying to figure out to use on’yomi or kun’yomi is difficult since there are many exceptions to the general rule.

Thank you for this great app, and for making it free! If there is anyway to donate and/or support it in anyway, let me know!

When I first opened the app it allowed me to select from a large list the Kanji that I had learned before downloading this app, and to add them to my notebook. Unfortunately, if I continue to learn new Kanji from other sources going forward and want to selectively add those to my notebook as well, I don’t seem to be able to access that master list again to do it. This would be a really helpful feature so I could have one list of my learned Kanji from all sources and I could then occasionally review and quiz myself on that list. Is there a way this feature could be added to the app?

This app is really nice, it's easy to navigate and I love how it guides you through writing the correct stroke order for each kanji and also gives you the furigana reading along with the definition. The quizzes are a mix of multiple choice, definitions, and writing the kanji, which is great since it reinforces recall and not just recognition. My only complaint is I wish that there were furigana readings given for the compound kanji.

I don’t come across completely free kanji apps very often, so when I came across this app I was surprised. I downloaded this app about 30 minutes ago so I don’t have too much experience with it yet, but so far I like it very much. I like that I can pick out all of the kanji I know already.

My only suggestion would be maybe to add the radicals? I learn kanji best by breaking them into their components(radicals)instead of learning the stroke order.
(For example, Instead of learning the 10 stokes that go into “音”, I learned that the kanji for stand, 立, and day, 日, can combine to make 音, which has helped me remember it better than individual strokes. Again, just a suggestion.)

This is a great app nonetheless, I’m very happy I stumbled across it!! 😎

As far as I am concerned, this is the best 漢字 アプリ out there!
It has a lot of information on the kanji so you don’t miss anything, like on and kun, writing practice and the meaning.
I also love that they have a test so I can recape what I learned to see how much I really know. Also, I really like the compound words so that I don’t just learn the isolated 漢字.
五つ星!

Ive been looking for some time for a good kanji app, and Ive finally found it! Totally recommend to any person trying to learn Japanese, it allows you to go on at your own pace and even gives you things like stroke order and compound words! Its also free!! いちばんですよ！！☆

Forgive me for the unprofessional review, but this may be the best kanji learning app(for me personally)! No ads, I can practice writing, teaches the Kun and On, the meaning of the kanji, and the cherry on top is I can test myself! Whoever helped develop this, thank you for making kanji easier to learn!
