This is a great app to use in hand with the textbook Gives you the stroke orders and pictures to remember the kanji My only con is when you click the play button to learn the strokes it turns off your music very annoying                 Great App with the Book martin02mal

For learning the on yomi and kun yomi reading of the kanji this is a great app I learned a lot of kanji compound words using this great app It really extended my vocabulary beyong the textbook I do wish that the app contains audio recording of each compoung words This is great for preparting JLPT N4 and N5 Thank you so much                     Great for learning Kanji Evidence based police

At the menu page of this Genji Kanji app you get to choose a lesson starting with Lesson 3 If you try to scroll up to Lesson 1 or 2 you see the message Start by mastering the words in Set 1 and 2 Genki Lessons 1 2 contain no kanji to be learned I tried everything but could never access Lessons 1 2 or the words in Set 1 and 2 Oh well Let s start with Lesson 3 then It is divided into Set 1 2 3 and 4 but 3 and 4 are greyed out I will click on Set 1 which becomes highlighted Nothing else happens At the top of the screen are two buttons Kanji and Reading Let s click on Kanji Still nothing happens At the bottom of the screen are two buttons My Deck and Check Let s click on My Deck Now I see a blank box at the top of the screen In the middle of the screen is the word one At the bottom of the screen is the word There are two ways that I can interact with this screen If I touch the blank box the kanji character for one appears in the box So what I haven t learned anything by doing this On the other hand if I click on a button at the bottom of the screen showing a circle in an arrow configuration again I see the kanji for one Again I haven t learned anything At the top of the screen are three pronunciations for one If I click on them nothing happens At the bottom of the screen are two icons One looks like a deck of cards If I click on it a mnemonic hint appears on the screen consisting of a fat index finger protruding from a hand This is the way that I am supposed to remember one The second icon at the bottom of the screen looks like a brush If I click on this I come to a screen titled Stroke Order which shows a horizontal line in the middle If I click on the Play button at the bottom of this screen the software draws the line from left to right I still haven t learned anything OK Let s go back to the first screen where Lesson 3 Set 1 is still highlighted This time instead of clicking MyDeck I will click Check the only other choice This takes me to a screen called Remember the kanji In the middle of this screen is a word consisting of two kanji There are furigana at the top of these kanji but the one on the right is represented by an empty box The kanji on the left is and the one on the right which is hidden is judging from the furigana above the box If I click on the empty box the kanji magically appears So what I still haven t learned anything that I couldn t have learned from any dictionary This app is pointless What are they trying to achieve I would like to offer some advice to the developers If you want to teach Japanese to gaijin foreigners please get some gaijin involved in your development process Ask them what works for them When gaijin try to learn kanji the first thing we want to know is what each kanji looks like how it is pronounced what its meanings are and how it is used in sentences The second thing we want to know is whether you have any good mnemonics to help us to remember the kanji There are at least three kinds of mnemonics that are helpful a you can give names to the subcomponents of the kanji and make phrases with them of course this doesn t work with simple kanji like b you can find English words that are pronounced in the same way that the kanji is pronounced and make phrases with them for example I have one itchy dog and c you can show similar kanji side by side so that students learn to recognize the differences between kanji that look very much alike The third thing that gaijin need from an app like this is a chance to practice reading the kanji you are trying to teach them This means that you have to show the kanji all by itself on the screen No hints are allowed If you show a hint like one or the student doesn t have a chance to find out whether or not he or she can get the correct answer You are spoiling the learning experience with those hints I am sorry to be so critical I can see that you spent a lot of time developing this Please try again and think about what your students need before you start working     Poorly Conceived Larson Juhl

If you re using Genki then this app is alright It gives you all the kanji from book books with each one including a brief animation showing stroke order along with all the Kanji words and some mnemonics to help remember As a general Kanji app though it s missing a key feature the ability to actually trace each Kanji with your finger stylus             Needs a Trace Function theplothole

Very helpful but the app crashes every time you X out of a flash card             Great app but glitchy jwjfjdj

I love this app Please continue your good work Japan Times                     Climb Kanji Mountain Tedn3

the 4th screenshot looked to me like the app used some kind of spaced repetition system to study kanji it does not in any way it s just the digital equivalent of analog notecards it s 2015 anyone who studies any language knows what spaced repetition is and knows it s essential to memorization thus deeply disappointing also really weird menu system totally confusing and unintuitive     no spaced repetition jingai

This application greatly assists in learning the 317 kanji of the Genki books I was surprised by how colorful organized and fluid the app is as most of the kanji apps out there are either buggy or boring and this app keeps things challenging Of all the kanji apps out there I greatly recommend this app It s good quality and provides you a smooth experience to satiate your love and learning for kanji                     Really Solid Kanji App Homushi

Let s face flash cards are a pain Sure it helps to write them down but motivation simmers to an all time low when flash cards need to be made Enter The official GENKI flash card app Excellent word usage and examples clear kanji strokes and pictures and a great way to organize them by chapter My only gripe and it s hardly one seeing as I have my textbook and other supplements with me at all times is that you can t simply search through the items at will you have to go through in a quiz like fashion to view them Same goes for the other GENKI app for vocab Alas the student should at least have some idea of the words in order to search for it via textbook google or Jisho org                     Excellent supplementary kanji flash cards Nolie-fruit-rolie

This app is great for studying but I don t get why there are not test in here with multiple chose to see if you actually remember the kanji A bit expensive for an app with out games or quizzes             No quizzes Yume1207

I can t believe that there is no stroke order included in a kanji learning app     No stroke order Superplanner

It s very good for a fresh card It needs kanji search function with romaji and hiragana input It would be very useful if the search result shows a kanji with chapter numbers This is a follow up review I ve just discovered that the List function works like a dictionary First go to List function Then list all the kanji reading worlds in English or Japanese to find the word After tapping the word you can check the flash card for kanji hiragana meaning and lesson or chapter numbers                     Very Good You could search words in List function too APLTKO

I am in an accelerated Japanese class 1 year of Japanese crammed into 12 weeks that uses the Genki text I have this app and the Genki vocab app and they are both fantastic I literally deleted all other apps that I spend too much time on Instagram Pinterest etc because I want to use my Genki apps instead If your class uses Genki and you are serious about learning Japanese get both apps                     Great Companion to Book Racergirljen

Great app specially if you are using the Genki textbook to learn Japanese This is the basic level                     Great app ^o^ /
