The drawing program teaching how to draw the characters requires such narrow specifications as to make using this program an exercise in frustration. I have not managed to draw a character within the specifications required. The program tells me to stay on the line, or to finish the stroke. How be I return the app and stop wasting my time? Do the app makers realize i'm drawing with my finger on a phone screen? Have they tried using this app on different size screens? Possibly a good app on a tablet. Refund!

I'm not going to refund this because there was apparent work put into it and there's potential. The stroke recognition is absolutely way too sensitive and frustrating. But all in all it's not bad. I look forward to more developments.

Really really picky about strokes though, also only shows simplified not traditional, would be nice to have an option for both. It would also be nice to have a mode where the character wasn't shown at all during writing practice. Oh, and more characters of course!
