Needs Handwritten training not tracing. Also dots are more idiosyncratic type feature than universal or heuristic learning process. Useful but needs improvements

Most amazing app you could download for learning kanji It’s fast, easy and it actually makes it stick to your brain, I definitely recommend this app over any other!
一番漢字練習アプリです! 私はmigakuという道具で漢字を勉強したけど最近その漢字道具のサーポートが消えました。。 このアプリは素晴らしいです! 作ってくれてありがとうございます!
a bountiful harvest this app watered my crops and replenished my resources
Amassing kanji app Use it daily since January of this year. Learned 400 kanji and today when it wasn’t working freaked out. Saw there was an update with even more features. Keep up the amazing work !!!
Best that I’ve found! I downloaded sooooo many apps looking for a good Kanji teacher. I am glad I found someone on Reddit suggesting this. While it may not help you learn Kanji alone, it possibly could if you’re super dedicated?? I tried it out alone but wasn’t retaining anything even though I liked the interface. From another redditor, I decided to buy the Kodansha book and really commit to a specific method of Kanji learning. Ringotan lets you choose your method at the beginning and then quizzes you in the same order that you’re learning in the book. This has been working for me, and I, really enjoying it. Two suggestions that would make it slightly better…. If they would let you choose which words are at the top of the screen as example uses of the Kanji. Most of the choices they give do not exactly line up with what is given in the Kodansha book. I would like for it to be more particularly aligned. The other thing would be to allow for a shuffle option when you do a custom review. It becomes easy to memorize the order that the kanji will be given, and that context makes it easier to remember. I would like to be challenged on them out of context. Maybe there is a way to do this and I just haven’t figured it out?
Some of the translations are wrong The app is great at teaching you Kanji. However, I noticed the translation for 言 was wrong. The app said 言う means “to go”, and it does not. It actually means “to say”. To go is written like this 行く. Another thing that concerns me is that there are no obvious report buttons for users to report issues like this.
Confusing I’m sure this helps a lot of people but is very frustrating. The dots get very confusing and both the pace and repetition styles get frustrating. If you happen to have any learning disability or neurodivergent condition this app can be torturous. Between being too slow in some aspects while too impatient in others, plus the colored dots all over the place this is painful. Don’t buy anything here - just stick to getting a nice pen and notebook, practice a lot in sentences too.
Ringotan A wonderful way to learn Kanji!
Re Draw kanji over hint Great app. One feature request : after getting a kanji wrong would like the chance to redraw the kanji over the hint in order to help memorise the kanji. Maybe an optional feature?!

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
