Acquire new vocabulary by piecing them together using your developing knowledge of kanji readings and meanings in this ACTIVE and INTERESTING game - not rote learning! Moreover, the app provides reference lists for each kanji and tracks your progress while you actually enjoy learning over 1000 kanji and 8000 common words (all unlocked with just one in-app purchase!).

Features:
1) Options to have either the kanji or the hiragana in the grid, and the option of 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 grids.

I love it. Well put together, great idea and terrific execution. The one problem is it keeps freezing and I need to force it to close every 3-5 games. That is the one and only issue with it. Edit: sent a message to the developers and got a quick response! Turns out, a quick fix to this is to limit the number of words you are using or to change to Kanji instead of hiragana.

I'm having a ton of fun practicing using this game. Highly recommend it for anyone learning Japanese. Only criticisms are the long pauses after connecting a word together and after each stage. An option to edit how long the pause is would be amazing. Other than that, great app!

Slight issues with readings (different readings in text vs audio) but a fun way to practice! One of the few study methods that make kanji actually stick for me. Glad to see kana is showing up properly on Android 5 now! Fewer glitches audio, too. Thanks for continuing to support the app with development and bug fixes!

I've been studying japanese for two years now and this app is fantastic both for passing time and amplying my vocabulary, I often read up on the new words I "discovered" thanks to this app in my electronic dictionary to get more context well worth the 1e 40cents for the extra content I will be looking forward to N1 vocabulary in the future, but with almost 8000 vocabulary items already in the app I'll be busy for a while. so much more fun than anki and flashcards :D

The cross swiping doesn't work most of the time, and thanks to that the game takes it as if I just tapped on the symbol. This makes the otherwise excellent game borderline unplayeable.

Its a little too difficult to scroll down the flash card list without accidentally scrolling left or right

by D####:

Intriguing at first but after few weeks it becomes unfruitful and unuseful, should have more updates and correction, even the graphic is lacking of accurate consideration by the creators

Unfortunately all I get is little boxes instead of kanji. I am trying to run this on a fully up to date Nvidia Shield tablet.

I have some basic kanji and this is a great refresher! Like the hints, the hiragana usage, and the simple puzzle layout.

I really love this app.As a kinestetic learner, it makes learning Japanese Kanji really fun and addictive.I love how it cannot only be a source for learning Kanji, but for learning Kanji combinations as well. And getting all the Kanji is inexpensive too!Although, there's nothing more to it. There's nothing pushing you to learn more Kanji, and there's nothing else to help people better learn. Don't get me wrong. It's still great though, even if it's a tad bare bones.I guess, If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's one of the few apps that helps me learn Japanese I'm such a fun way. Although it could need some polish, it's better than what I expected. Something that needs to be done immediately is an exit button. It's bothersome to have to kill the app in order to exit it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this app. I am using it to review kanji that I already know and it is a really great tool for resuscitating old kanji. I do with the game moved faster and the grids were bigger. I think this would be perfect if the grid was 10 x 10 for kanji.

MotoG 1st Ed. I know I need a new phone but the games runs slowly in general and often hangs. Perhaps a speed option in the future would be nice.

I think it just needs more content though. Also the UI is a little awkward to use.

Having the Apple version that works perfectly, this was a huge dissapointment. The kanji don't display properly (only a few are visible, rest are squares), and the general visuals and menus are not even close to being as functional. Another problem is the inability to activate the purchase from my iPad on my Android phone, so I'd have to pay for the extended set of characters twice. A code system could fix that...

The game is really fun to play, but it was designed for a very small screen. The UI does not properly display the screen on a Galaxy S4. The edges of kanji and hiragana are not visible because they blend in with the background. The circular badge is too small for the characters. There's also a gradient background that's stuck to the upper left corner. I would rate this 5 stars if the UI was properly sized.

D70%
by D####:

I really enjoy the concepts of the game. However, I don't like that I have to purchase the remaining lists beyond some of n5. I also don't like that after I purchased the other lists that I can not use them. I purchased them when I first downloaded the app and still can not access the other lists. If this can not be resolved I want a refund even if I really like the concept.

This app is fantastic if you already know a few hundred kanji and want to learn new words. Unfortunately the UI could do with a little tweaking
