Contact Learn Japanese Kanji Support

by Sorrowed Aristocrat

I like this app a lot so far, and enjoyed their Kana app a lot as well. SRS is certainly the most effective way of learning most things and Kanji is certainly no exception.

My only wish is for a lifetime subscription, at least for us early adopters. I’m generally not a fan of subscription software especially when there are plenty of SRS alternatives at a fixed price and even free (such as Anki, which is both depending on if you use the mobile app or desktop). While I like that this is optimized specifically for Kanji, it’s not, to my knowledge, providing any online functionality that merits a perpetual maintenance fee. And not a terribly small one at that.

The interface is slightly confusing at first but once you figure it out, this app is an amazing tool that even has a widget so you remember to check in and study. Anything relating to Japanese text is covered in this, though I use it specifically for kanji. I would give this app a 5 star review, but there are a couple essential features I feel it is lacking:
- the ability to add your own text to the flashcards for mnemonic or memory purposes
- the ability to create lists and study specifically those lists without it affecting the big stack’s SRS data.
- data sync between devices under the same account

I’m really enjoying the flash card and quiz format for writing kanji—it’s challenging, but I’m retaining information better. However, the pronunciations are terrible, and some even sound so robotic or choppy/scratchy. Most importantly, the readings/pronunciations study/quiz format could be loads better. Lots of kanji has both onyomi and kunyomi, but even if you only get one right using hiragana or katakana, it’s marked as correct. I think it would be much more accurate to include two typing options for kunyomi and onyomi, and then have us type them separately and accurately.
