Meet new cards first A new card is now shown in full first: the character, its reading, meaning and an example. It's asked a couple of cards later. Up to 8 new cards a day; change the limit in Settings, or tap “8 more new” when you're all caught up. Gentle comeback Missed a few days? The cards that piled up come back in small portions, not all at once. Reminders Once a day, at the time you choose, and only when cards are due and you haven't studied yet, on this device or another. The reminder shows today's count and your streak. Widgets On the Lock Screen: cards left today, your streak and a word of the day. On the Home Screen: today's count and a quick quiz. Pick the translation without opening the app. Words from the camera (beta) Point the camera at a textbook, menu or sign, or pick a photo from your library. The app finds the characters and splits the text into words, and the ones you tick go to your Dictionary with pinyin and a translation. Recognition runs on the device, offline. Also: rate the app or send us feedback right from Settings.
Inkday helps you remember Chinese characters: you review cards a little every day until each word sticks. Your words come from what you read. Select a word in Safari or a book and tap Share. Inkday fills in the pinyin and keeps the sentence as a note on the card, so you remember where you met the word. FLASHCARDS The character is on the front. Pinyin, meaning and an example are on the back. Answer Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and Inkday decides when to show the card next: in a minute or in a few days. If you skip a session, your cards wait for you. WHAT TO LEARN TODAY The Today screen shows how many cards are due, how many days in a row you've studied, and what's coming up tomorrow. ALL 214 KANGXI RADICALS The radicals come ready in themed decks: People and the Body, Actions and Movement, Nature and the Elements. Start right away, no need to make your own cards. Once you know the radicals, new characters are easier to break down. DICTIONARY Search by character, pinyin or meaning. Turn any word into a card with one tap. WRITING ON IPAD You get the meaning and pinyin, and you write the character from memory with Apple Pencil. Inkday checks each stroke for position and order. Stuck? Tap Hint. COPYBOOKS ON IPAD Build a copybook from a single character or a whole sentence. First trace the model, then write over the outline, then from memory, in a 田字格 grid like a school exercise book. IPHONE AND IPAD Decks, progress and copybooks sync through iCloud. Save a word on your iPhone during your commute and practise writing it on your iPad in the evening.
