Key Word → Kanji on Flashcards :)

2) We have added a "Simple" flashcard style, which is now default, in addition to the "Full" style we had.

3) You can now also "Add to Study List" from the lesson list level - making it easy to create big lists of kanji for review and flashcard study.

4) In addition, you can disable flashcard animations in main settings menu.

We are working on an export function for backing up your Notes, as well as other things you have emailed us about.

Keep the awesome feedback coming! Thanks to all of you :)

Useful but sorely needs updating

This app is useful, particularly in combination with other Japanese learning apps and the associated book. But it has some annoying (and likely easy to fix) limitations. Reasons for taking off two stars are:
- only works in portrait mode, so it is very annoying to turn tablet around, when using in combination with other apps that can support either portrait or landscape
- search mode is set to numbers, and cannot be defaulted to letters
- since presumably is a companion to a book, why is it not pre-populated with said book’s stories?

If these issues were addressed, it could be a 4 or 5 star app.

Great as a companion to the books

If you’re using the Heisig books, this app is very useful. You can study a lesson from the book at home, and then use the app wherever you are to review the lesson until you’ve mastered it. Because the app has a mode where all of the characters from a lesson are displayed on the screen at once, it’s easy to zip across them and say the meanings out loud, without having to flip through flashcards, and it also reinforces which characters were in the same lesson, which can help you remember the stories. Also, the app has a stroke order practice mode where you trace over the strokes of a kanji, filling it in - this makes it easy to compare what you drew with what the character is supposed to look like, because they end up overlaid.

Other reviews have commented that the app doesn’t have an SRS, and that’s true, I use it in conjunction with an SRS. But even without that, I find the app very useful as a tool to working through the book.

Best App for Heisig method

Don’t believe naysayers — this app is amazing and worth the money, especially if you’re already using the accompanying books to learn Kanji via Heisig method.

Pros:
-Kanji separated out by lessons, easy review
-Practice reading kanji
-Practice writing kanji
-Primitives given on back of card
-Blank space (“story” area) to make use of Heisig’s story or memorable mnemonics OR ability to create your own. This is a fantastic space to expand or link knowledge (like Chinese v Japanese words/additional references). Also the ability to use any installed keyboard (Chinese, Japanese) and not just English keyboard support is fantastic!
-Watch kanji being drawn in real time with stroke order — super clean, beautifully scripted
-Ability to create your own study lists
-Chinese readings index
-Japanese readings index

The only con I see is that it doesn’t offer automatic timed repetition (like Anki), but this is minor considering that the app isn’t just meant to be a basic flashcard review app. The true worth of this app is to have you structure/stack your knowledge while you’re actively learning, so that you can rehearse it later with ease. Genius :)

NoRefund17, 16/07/2015

Great for some, frustrating for me.

If you are using the book this is a great companion app as long as you don't care at all about spaced repetition. However if you are like me, and don't want to waste time studying things you don't need to study, and require the efficiency of SRS, than this app is a little bit of a let down. Hopefully they add SRS for both writing and reading in the future. If they do it will be the perfect companion app, but till then I'm not using it. But again, if you don't care about SRS I think you will enjoy this app very much. Give it a shot.

Great app to have alongside RTK

Great as a companion app for the book. The Study Lists are a great way to keep track of your progress by placing, for example, all the kanji you’ve learned in a week into 1 study list. Unfortunately, this app does NOT have a SRS (spaced repetition software); but it’s not like it needs it, after all you can just use Anki or Koohii.

TL;DR: great for sort-term study and keeping track of your progress.

Brentus, 08/06/2020

Search uses wrong keyboard but good otherwise

It’s very annoying that search brings up the numeric keyboard when I literally never search by number. It should default to alphabetical so I can check kanjis by name easily.

xfyumd, 22/04/2019

Really good

2 things would get it 5 stars.
- preload Heisig stories
- app should remember where I left off on a study list. It’s not fun when you’re trying to practice 500 randomized kanji, get through half the list, pause and then cannot continue from where I left off.

Adding an SRS kind of memorization system would be great.

No Heisig story???

Pros-
Organizes all 3 books by lesson
Using writing as part of the flash card(and being able to compare it yourself as opposed to fighting with a writing AI)

Cons-
Setting up your own flash cards can’t be done from the kanji study itself and need to go into index

No Heisig stories which are the core of the teaching style!!! Writing your own story can defeat the purpose because if you mislabel a primitive you can mess up learning other primaries and kanji.

Saunter Maelstrom, 02/04/2020

Great companion app

Great companion to the book, supports versions 5 and 6 of the book. On Apple, the backup crashes every time, so only 4 stars. I have to screen capture to back up my progress.

Geeklythings, 30/06/2015

Missing crucial SRS system

Review is a critical feature of the Remembering the Kanji method. When I purchased it, I just assumed it had an SRS system built in. It doesn't. This app is relegated to a reference only, of which there are many. Without SRS review, it's incomplete.
