2022-02-09

More good stuff is coming in the horizon! Thank you for using uchisen!
1.2.6
2022-02-07
Fixed a few too many bugs:
- Fixed an issue where in-feed reviews wouldn't show new tests when tapping on "Answer More ->"
- Fixed a crash that occurred when tapping next while on a vocab page
- There was one more improvement but I can't remember right now... Must not have been very important :P
Thank you for using uchisen! Please feel free to reach out on uchisen Community if you are experiencing issues (or just want to talk!)
1.2.5
2022-02-01
久しぶり!Long time no see!
Here's an update I've been working on for a few months.
- Adds preschool in the app! No more lame webpage (mostly)
- Enjoy drills from the app! Compete to get the best time you can using dynamic kana drills
- Kana feed for new users! Scroll through kana just like you can for kanji
- Cleaned up some things... It's been so long I can't remember everything I've added... We recently had a daughter so we've been very busy being new parents! I'll be making more tweaks and optimizations in the near future. Thanks for your support!
1.2
2021-04-25
This is a pretty big update, so get ready!
- Added comments for kanji, primes, and vocab items! Ask questions, give advice, or talk about the weather as you're scrolling through your feed!
- Visual refresh time! This was much needed (in my opinion) and makes uchisen look a little more hip-and-happening, giving new colors and making some things more readable
- Added kanji components/primes to the feed, so now you won't have to venture into the info pages to get a refresher on what parts kanji are made up of
- Other bug fixes and performance improvements... what would an update be without that!?
In other news, we crossed the 460th kanji picture drawn! Saori (our artist) is almost 1/4th of the way there, and has been picking up steam lately! We look forward to having all 2200+ kanji pictures drawn in the next year, so keep your fingers crossed! As always, thanks for using uchisen :)
1.1.8
2021-04-03
Added a couple of fixes that add up to be a nice update!
- Scratchpad writing feels MUCH better, there were a few issues introduced in the last update that were ironed out
- "Start Reviews" button works as intended now, there were a few quirks introduced recently that now should work every time
- Most importantly: Updated wording on notification to say "1 Review Due" instead of "1 Reviews Due"... the details matter!
Thank you for your continued support of uchisen! :)
1.1.7
2021-03-24
- Added the uchisenPRO Lifetime subscription option, for those of us that are in it for the long run
- Made notifications MUCH BETTER. Now you'll see how many reviews you have every day, rather than a generic message
- Updated the feel of drawing kanji - it's much smoother and will make your handwriting look way better
- Added a little feedback to most buttons to make pressing them feel better
- Added functionality to open certain URLs in the app instead of the browser
- Fixed a few bugs with adding items to reviews
As always, thank you for using uchisen! I'll be making lots of improvements to the app and website here in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! :)
