I use it every spare moment I have, and I've been able to learn over 200 kanji without ever cracking open a book

I loved the app, it had helped me remember 342 kanji. However, may I recommend adding a repetition-based system, preferably for the incorrect answers, or a port to other flashcard apps like Anki. Overall it was a great app, and I feel that the developers are doing a great job. I would love it if you added an overall kanji test that has been learnt or something along that line, but other than that, I hope you consider this, and well done developers! Keep up the great work!

Kanji UP is my ONLY tool, and I have not seen anything else come close. It works perfectly with Heisig's system. Plus it shows you an animation of how to draw the kanji. Really a great program. ________________ The upgrade provides a way to mark problem cards. So now I can easily browse those annoying ones only _________________ Another addition is the ability to import and export. If you already have memory aid stories saved, for example at KanjiKohii, then you can export memory aids from KanjiKohii and import them directly into KanjiUp! Suggestions? Not really. This is the best Heisig based flashcard system, and I think I have tried them all.

I'd love a mid-step quiz that shows your story to help your recall of the kanji. Otherwise this is great!

Really a great program. ________________ I look forward to the upgrade. I hope that the upgrade will provide a way to mark problem cards. As it is I have to rely on Kanji Renshuu to mark my problem cards -- that program has no space for stories, but does have a Leitner type of repetition system. But I think it would be enough if this program would just let you flag the problems -- or just automatically flag the ones you get wrong. I find that when I come back to a section a month or so later, it is still the same ones that I am getting wrong. So being able to just study those problems without having to go through the known kanji would be extremely useful. ___________________ Also useful for some users would be to allow for easy import of stories from kanji.kohii.com. However, export your kanji.koohi stories to an andoid text editor and paste them one at a time into Kanji UP works pretty good. Or a bluetooth keyboard would work if you have to type each story into KanjiUp.

This app is good. No need to refer to the book to know how to write a Kanji. However, the animations are too fast to remember those strokes' orders. If you could add: number and direction next to strokes, and a little Kanji to refer to while watching the animation in the Review mode, that would be great.

But how about updating to the new revised list of Kanji? Also, traditional JLPT ordering would be nice (but I know, completely optional since this focuses on Heisig's).

Would be so much better if you could choose to reverse the way the testing is, showing you the kanji first instead of the definition.

This app offers almost everything i wanted in a Kanji Stroke order teaching app. I love the simple animations and i love the testing method of your skills, as well. I cannot vouch for the perfection of the stroke order for every kanji, because i am only at grade 2, so i know only about 150 of them. The ones i do know are perfectly animated. The one thing I'd love if it could be added to the app, is sorting the kanji by Grade or JLPT, rather than just Heisig. Otherwise it's truly a fantastic little app!!!

I love this app. I've used anki before, but I like this app better. I can practice writing the kanji. With anki sometimes I had the idea of the primitives, but wasn't actually remembering how to write them correctly. The only change I would suggest, is the ability tho draw the characters in review mode. Perhaps tracing over the provided kanji. My kids like to grade me during my test or watch the animation and draw the kanji themselves. Also, I appreciate apps that don't require permissions. Thanks.

Good app but it doesn't have any info on primitives like the official 'Remembering the Kanji' app. Since the official one is buggy and crashes all the time, I was hoping another app like this would be a replacement but looks like I still need to use both. Can't somebody create an app that has all the features of both?
