Waste of money, but so much promise – KanjiPop: Kanji Practice in a Fun Game Review
This app seemed great - a fun way to practice kanji I knew, and pick up some kanji along the way. Unfortunately, it's incredibly basic beyond what anyone would consider reasonable for a learning game:
* There's no 'start over' function. Once you complete a level, it's forever done.
* Each level is always the same
* The only way to "learn" a new kanji is through a tiny little popup that appears when you click on the wrong kanji.
I would love this application if it each level was a mix of mostly easier, 'known' kanji, as well as a couple of new kanji. That way you could absorb a couple new kanji and move on. As it is, I quickly got stuck on level 8 and won't bother opening the app again until either it's updated, or I study enough new kanji to be worth bothering.
