Wanna learn Kanji? -Get this!

An awesome application! Considering all the dough and time we (learners of japanese) spend on trying to learn japanese, KANJI LS, paid for itself in one day (in time alone). The thought,hard work and the EXCELLENT support response that goes into this and effectiveness of the application, makes it well worth the $. Together with ANKI srs ,I use it for Heisig's RTK writing practice instead of paper. -Thanks Jan!
fantastic!

Never bothered to write a review before but this app is so useful I figured I'd make the effort. Simply put: you could spend a _lot_ more and not learn nearly as fast. At least for me, the progress since using this one (as well as Kana LS) has been amazing. Worth every penny and more!
Great but if only...

We, me and my half Japanese kids, have been looking for this app for ages. So I commend the creators for making this app, but there is one really nagging problem. The handwritten character samples are not correct. The stroke order is fine and the basic shape is correct, but the stroke finishes of "haneru" and "harau" are missing. A non native Japanese must have written the samples as failing to "haneru" and "harau" would get a "batsu" in your kanji test. I know as my daughter is doing 3rd grade Kanji now. If the creators could fix this problem through a software upgrade I would give it a 5. Maybe... The tests are good but the creators could think of tests that are more akin to how the Kanji tests are set up, or give compound words are only half the reading that would be really enticing.
What a great app

I majored in Japanese 25 years ago and forgot how to write a lot of kanji. With a stylus pen, this is such a great way to brush up... I'm seeing my re-remembering improving quickly...very good interface, well set up... Would definitely recommend compared to the other kanji / Japanese iOS apps I've tried...
Simply the best

This app is the best. It seems a little pricey but was well worth it to me. I am learning Japanese for an expatriate assignment. This app allows me to learn the specific kanji's my teacher is teaching me. The multiple test modes are awesome. The only thing that would make this app better is if it had audio of pronunciations. But with over 5,000 kanji's and 9,000 words it would take a lot of disk space. Other people mentioned the kotoba app for free. I tried it but first but it is no where close to the functionality of this app.
Not Expensive, Very Thorough

It's all relative, really. I would definitely pay much more for just a quarter of the information provided in this application to be able to understand just N5 of the JLPT. Over 5,000 kanji from N1-N5... Seriously, at $15, this application is more than worth it.
Amazing and Efficient

This application is excellent in nearly every respect! It provides pre-made grade level based sets for learning the kanji characters, and allows you to make your own subsets or custom sets using the characters as well. The stoke order feature is also superb, and works very beautifully and naturally when used on an iPad with a stylus. Before finding this application, I, like many others I would assume, had relegated myself to using archaic and clumsy flash cards for the readings and definitions of characters. Now I'm infinitely more efficient in learning the characters and readings, and don't have to worry about if the information I'm teaching myself is accurate! This application takes much of the headache out of what can be seen as the most daunting aspect of learning Japanese, and is absolutely worth the $12 price of admission. My only minor complaint is the color scheme and look of the application. However, in this case function is far more important than form, and should not in any way be a deterrent from purchasing this wonderful application!
WoW

Absolutely amazing, befitting of an iPad. I am learning basic Japanese by myself, for Kanji this is the top notch must have! well organize, works well, very usefull, many features. I am impressed. A note to a prospective beginner... before you dive into Kanji, learn your Kana, as this app has Hiragana and Katagana to help with pronunciation/reading the Kanji... it does not have romaji.. you can spend a weekend learning Kana before attempting Kanji. If you don't know Kana, get the Kana app firsr This app uses the screen real estate very well, and I for one am glad they did not waste it with romanji. I just started learning Japanese and my goal is just the basics (for right now)... this app will cover that plus much more... seriously, I've compared many apps and this one blew them all away. thanks developers, what a professional job!
This app saved me some money

I been using this app for about one year now and it's great. This app saved me a lot of money from buying kanji textbooks.
Amazing

By far, the best learning app I have tried. It is unbelievable the amount of options it has and the friendly design! It is complete and fun to use. My handwriting in japanese has improved a lot, and I simply couldn't resist buying the hiragana and katakana app. I wish I could give it more than five stars.
