Ratings and Reviews
Perfect app for learning kanji
The test modes are great for consolidating your knowledge, especially of writing kanji in direct input mode; answers are played back against the correct stroke order and you can opt to repeat any mistakes at the end. Starting with multiple choice by meaning and then by reading, and working in both directions, before progressing to direct input makes for painless and effective learning.
Please reconsider the graphics, improved app loadtime.
This is a big downgrade in the graphics department for this version.
All the icons are now the same colour making them less distinguishable, the graphic-stroke is poorly done (photoshop does this badly at the wrong settings and selection) creating a very jittery white line that would normally be clear, in fact the extra white separator lines added make the app look worse, the "i" in that font looks amateurish, the difference between the icon that switches between print and handwriting font now is almost indistinguishable, that extra-burnt and ultra-metal glossy button effect - what were you thinking? - even in the example screenshot, you can see how "before, ahead, previous, future, precendence" is very hard to read given white text on white highlight.
The upside and purely on the programming side, is the app now loads significantly quicker.
I'm removing it and restoring previous version - it's just all too ugly. I hope for a dev rethink.
Japanese LS kanji
This is an update to a previous four-star review I posted two years ago. The issues I identified at that time have all been resolved, and the support from the developer has been excellent. This app is absolutely packed with features. After using it for two years, I am still stumbling across new ones. It's not cheap, but if you are serious about learning the kanji, this is the best investment you will ever make.
