This was great on my phone, but for some reason the writing is laggy on my 2013 Nexus 7. I have to write very slowly or the app doesn't track my finger correctly

More TLC in this app than any other. Author wants ppl to master calligraphy. Updates often. A technical triumph. An artful masterpiece.

Very vague in the teaching of all the characters. Doesn't teach you the ways and their pronunciations... the same sounds with different characters.

This app has been a great help in remembering how to write kana. There aren't many Japanese apps that allow you to test yourself on writing.

I like the ap, but it is too sensitive to shaming and has no guided learning or stars.

I don't like having to shake my device to erase! Please put an erase button or add double tap to erase... also the set up isn't that easy to follow, please make this a bit more user friendly, I'm still not quite sure how to freely remove and replace the stencil. Other, the write mode is decent, the exploring mode really needs improvement. Yes, I'm more harsh because this is a paid app, I would like to see this app more user friendly with buttons that actually mean something...
