The new version is ok, but has some problems. Tracing doesn't show stroke order or where strokes begin (the docs say it should), so this isn't really good for learning, just review. Kun- and on-yomi are frequently misclassified, even for some of the simplest kanji. Some of the most common readings are missing, while less common ones are present. And while the idea of sets is nice, they are pretty random and there is no ability to create your own. It's an ok tool, but not really worth getting.

I really liked this app for practicing kanji, but since the stroke orders disappeared, it has been pretty useless to me. Wish it hadn't been updated until that data was available.

Not bad, but needs stroke order charts and the option to use your own custom set.

Really liked this app. I find it really helpful for practicing my Kanji writing. The only thing I would like is to improve the working sheets functionality: - Allow multiple working sheets combining different sets, - Kanji look-up for creating working sheets. This way it would be easier to make personalized sheets to study for my tests.
