Kanji Writing Game for Android
Great idea, but the near total lack of recognition makes it unusuable.
Nothing like I thot it wud b!
Works really well, great for testing your kanji but not so good for actually learning. Interface also needs to be more android like but very promising
Couldn't recognise anything I wrote; no skip button, or show answer
For those who complain about recognition, the game uses actual stroke order, not just stroke count like most other apps.
Poor stroke recognition, if phone sleeps then it crashes or timer spazzes out, and no skip option if you want to move past a character.
Sucks at recognizing
Great idea, but the character recognition is totally broken! Fix that and you have at least a 3-star app. Pretty up the UI for another.
Great app to learn kanji u have to write in correct stroke count or it won't work. Great way to learn.
Nothing makes sense in this game. There's close to no feedback or explanation as to what to do or what you did, and no way to correct anything except to start over. It's a bit buggy too. I like the concept, but it needs a lot more polish before it can be considered usable. As it stands it's more frustrating than fun.
This app has bugs for the newer versions of Android.
Does not load!
Greay way of learning kanji! But as said could use a skip-function. Also the stroke-order is wrong on a like one or two kanji. But otherwise - really good app!
Kanji that is input wasn't written by stroke order. Too many times I have to write simple kanji backwards. Would be better if I wrote the way they are to be written and they populate.
How do you say "I've finished!" If you manage to complete a kanji before the timer's up? It's like this app doesn't even notice. Needs to be a lot more user-friendly and get its bugs sorted bit before I could give it ****/*****.
And i mean the VERY BEGINNING!! Is there one for beginners? I would give it 5 stars but i have no idea what I'm doing, what the characters mean, anything! Help me out!!
Remembering the Kanji levels don't seem to match what I've read from the first 12 lessons, what's up with that? I also don't understand the SOD mode, the cursor just goes point by point.
Doesn't recognize writing. Sometimes when I write in the wrong order it won't recognize it. Fantastic software except recognition needs serious help. Fix that and I would probably pay money for the software.
Useful and enjoyable. Good application!
The recognition could be a bit better (even my wife who is Japanese had problems with it). However it is still a good app to test yourself.
Promising but somewhat buggy. Double timer and force close. Would be nice if you could see stroke order of the kanjis in a learning mode.
I like what it's trying to do, but as others have pointed out the recognition is really bad. Hopefully the author can fix this in the future.
A user-determined score would be nice, where it shows you the right answer and you tell it whether your feeble attempt at drawing the kanji was right.
Was a good idea but extremely frustrating when it comes to recognition. I recommend waiting for a fix before installing.
It would be nice if kanji display when time is out. Room for improvement on hand written recognition.
good idea for on the go kanji practice..kanji recognition needs a lot of improvement though it's very frustrating.also needs a larger writing area.
Really like the idea, just the recognition is buggy. Hope you keep working on it.
Recognition hardly ever works. No button to show answer. Does not tell you the stroke order. Uninstalled.
Good app but could use a skip function.
