Remembering the Kanji

Crashes during review on GS8+ at the same point when scrolling through lists. Also, not as much customization as apps like Obenkyo. However, I purchased this app for one reason: flashcards organized by Remembering the Kanji Vol. 2 chapters. This is the only app I know of which is organized this way, and the flashcards are stable so far. However, for an "official app" why are the flashcards laid out differently than Heisig recommends? Page 291 of Vol 2 Shows EXACTLY how this should look front and back. These flashcards are decent and will have to do, but why not follow the suggested method? It's directly laid out in the book and on Heisig's physical flashcards which can be purchased online.

I want to like this app. The Heisig Kanji book has been a godsend but this app crashes when it hits specific kanji. I can't get through a few decks of cards without having it crash. One example is when I get to the cornerstone kanji flashcard it freezes. Here's hoping they work out these bugs or a better Heisig app comes along. I know it was only a couple dollars but it should be free considering how many issues it has.

The app is a good idea and complements the book. But on my Nexus 7 it reproducibly crashes every single time I press the back button. I have sent 100(?) crash reports for a month now. Does anyone read or care about them? I am certainly not the only one with this problem. On my S3 mini the app works fine though.

Besides crashing there are serious usability problem: if you want to make a study list with many lessons you have to manually add them one by one, no select all or multiple selections. The first volume is about 55 lessons. When you finish that nice task and try to review app does not respond then you understand it's frozen, then crashes.

Some bugs and crashes. Even unfinished feature implementation: the x to clear the search box doesn't do anything for example.

I've had random crashes, but it crashes every single time I get to the Kanji for "fortune-telling". If it's happening on such an early one, it's probably only the first of many that will crash the app.

The stories are not included. The preview image is misleading.

I purchased this app on my iPad. And i really like that it is now come to Android. I wish it will have RTK2&3 in the future.

The method itself is working well. The app, however isn't. If I try to review over 100 kanji then the app will definitely crash. It also crashes when I try to review 10 kanji. To be fair it just crashes all the time. I desperately want to use this app to review and once you've gone 50 characters into a list of over 200 it get frustrating to start again. As well as time consuming. At least I'm getting a thorough study o.O

But I really want to be able to use this across my tablet and phone so perhaps add logging into an account so my stories will transfer over. Also app tends to crash a bit which can be tedious but other than that it saves alot of paper!

Nice idea but so badly executed it shouldn't be on sale at all. Options are lacking to add chapters to study lists, for example, or delete study lists. iPhone version is fine.

Oh, if only it didn't crash so much. Adding your own stories makes the app more and more useful but also more and more unstable. This app would be much more popular, receive a higher rating and surely get more downloads if only it received a bit more effort from its developers.

This is a must have for anyone using these books. It fixes what I find the biggest deficiency of learning kanji from the first book, which is that while the book does give the stroke order, it doesn't show from which direction the strokes are drawn, making it much harder to draw the characters as intended. The app shows each of them being drawn, so you then have that info. The other big gain, of course, is the flash cards. The app allows you to have different sets of them for whatever combination of characters you choose, and you can view them randomly, saving you the time of making your own flash cards as well as making it so that you have flash cards wherever you go. You can also use the app to practice writing, which is definitely useful but not that great, since you're likely drawing the characters with your thumb (since this is a mobile app), and even if you have a touch-pen, the area is much larger than you'd be drawing on paper, so it's still a bit awkward. The app also includes fixes from the errata (e.g. town vs village), though then you're left wondering whether the book or app is right. So, the app isn't perfect, but it's a big help.

I tried to contact the developer before posting this rating. No response received. I reported a crash that is very easy to replicate.

Crashes when using the search option, no way to quickly jump to higher stroke counts, no option to organize the kanji according to primitives as in the book's glossary. no heisig stories.

Some of the Kanji are not in the official book, and so far, the Kanji for village and town have had their title swapped.

Please create a multiple choice mode

Great when it doesn't crash

I have wanted this app for years. Seeing it on Android is great, and it looks very crisp and professional. The animated stroke order is great. The only thing missing is the Volume 2 and 3 content. I hope it comes soon! It would also be nice if selecting a primitive under a kanji's primitive list would link to all the kanji with that primitive, like using the primitive search option.

Since this is supposed to be the official app I was expecting to see the original stories. Disappointing.

Kanji animation not working (everything appears at once) and, as others have said, the stories from the book should be included along with the ability to add your own stories. A little more development and this could be good.

Very useful to search all 2000 kanji, and to see the writing animations for all of them.

Love how the app makes us remember some difficult kanji using flashcards.

This is a very good companion for the RTK version 6 book!

This app is very helpful. I like how this app has a list of primitive elements grouped by the strokes count and I can even create a personalized study lists with a flashcard and lessons to really help me Remember the Kanji.

Great apps! The flashcard is really helpful. It's nice to compare our writing and the flashcard.
