Kanji Teacher - Learn Japanese

- Very useful for learning reading/writing kana and kanji, with great graphs to see your progress, and plenty of useful options.- However, many test questions are too easy to "cheat" on. If the prompt is "hashiru", and only one answer ends in "-ru", then I know for certain what to pick, making the question worthless. I think this would be somewhat easy to fix by trying to add fake answers that read similarly to the prompt, ie "miru" or "wakaru", both also being (kanji)-ru, which would then require actual knowledge to answer correctly.- Another issue, the writing grading is a bit too strict, Auto-correcting every stroke after you make it. This means you never draw an entire kana/kanji from memory - it's holding your hand and tripping you up, causing you to constantly re-adjust instead of writing naturally. I would really like to see an option to wait to correct/grade strokes until the kanji is finished, so that the kanji I draw are "mine" and not just wholly-magnetized to perfection each time.- One more feature I'd like to see in more places is showing/hiding the stroke order, Like in the "draw" section of the dictionairy. During testing, I like to draw the kanji a couple extra times after passing, but it's too easy with the stroke order still there, and somewhat cumbersome to click into the dictionairy, then "practice", just to get the option to show/hide stroke order. Enabling this during a test would then mark that question a fail in certain cases.- Cheers! Hope to see more work on the app and that you can overcome Apple's ever-evolving app requirements...

I can’t express how much I appreciate and praise this app. Not only does it teach you Kana but also Kanji. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠. he fact that it show easy memorizing methods (drawings) to remember Kana and sayings for Kanji makes learning so much easier. You can also look up how to write each Kana/Kanji in the search option. This helps when you happen to forget things. Speaking about writing, this app helps you write the characters! I searched 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 for an app that does this. Not only that, it has hints that help you remember how to write each Kana and Kanji. It also has a paper feature (for those of you whom haven’t tried the app it’s basically a notepad that judges your hand writing) it helps a lot when you don’t know stroke orders. Although I have a bit of criticism for this feature, I wish it told you what you did wrong (like in the tests) instead of just highlighting it in red. It also has a game feature which is okay. It’s really great and effective but there’s not much to do. I’d like a game update one that adds more and different games. Maybe a writing one for Kana or one to help for sentences. Another bit of criticism, you learn all the letters (Hiragana & Katakana) and words but not how to wright sentences. Note: you do learn how to translate sentences just not how to write them. Then again if you were to add that I’d be to good to not pay for. By the way did I mention that this app is totally 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄. You don’t have to pay at all it’s amazing!!! The developers are absolutely amazing people for making this. Take this review as my absolute gratitude and praise for this app. I couldn’t recommend you to download this app more. 𝟏𝟎/𝟏𝟎 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝!!!このアプリを開発していただきありがとうございます

This is a great app that has already been extremely helpful to me only after using it for a few days. I would like to make one suggestion though. Like thousands of other people I’m learning Japanese via Duolingo, and Kanji Teacher is particularly helpful in overcoming one of the biggest drawbacks with that platform, especially in regards to Japanese (and probably Mandarin), namely the inability to practice writing kanjis & hiragana/katakana. However it seems that not all kanjis used in the duolingo curriculum are present in Kanji Teacher - or maybe they are, but sometimes under different keywords and hence very hard to find. It would be tremendously beneficial to double-check and make sure that the dictionary supports those kanjis so that a Duolingo student can integrate writing practice as they go along. As I said, some are already present, but unfortunately many seem not to be. Obviously I have no way of knowing how much effort it would be to make this happen, especially given that KT is a free program, but I think it would make for a perfect companion app to go with DLs massive platform.
