StickyStudy: Japanese (JLPT Flashcards for kanji and vocabulary)

Ive been using this app for more than a year and it has definitely helped me in learning new kanji I use this app as a supplement to my study and have been working from first grade level and up My only complaint is that sometimes when studying a kanji it doesnt match what i know Like 屋 is defined as Premise but in midori is roof house shop dealer seller When i search for 部屋 though 屋 shows up as roof house shop dealer seller Maybe the study version of the kanji could reflect better with common usages Otherwise an excellent app              Great app to help memorize kanji

I looked at every kanji app there is and installed and tested most of the more promising ones Stickystudy is easily the hands down winner for all the great features so many others have already mentioned the similar characters section the scheduler the progress visualization the drilling down to explore anything that interests you the built in dictionary saving to a learning deck just the right amount of customization ability Kanji felt like an insurmountable obstacle and now I feel like I am cruising on autopilot The only suggestion for improvement I would hope for is a more robust sync functionality so I can more easily switch between my iPad and iPod                 Great learning tool

Flashcards just look the red pilland they will never be the same again                 Inline Animation mic drop

Best flash card app for Kanji and Japanese                 Great design Great functionality

This app is absolutely the best allinclusive app for the studying of Japanese kanji The addition of the writingdrawing window animations makes it close to perfection A few things need ironing out but it is already better than anything else out there in its current state I tried most kanji apps Amazing                 No equal in looks and functionality

This app is awesome i wish i had this when first started learning Not only is very practical but also the design is gorgeous                 awesome app gorgeous design

Ive used this app since it originally launched and Im here to tell you that it is a wonderful study aid for those trying to learn kanji or remember vocabulary I used StickyStudy to help get me through studying for the JLPT N4 N3 and N2 I couldnt have succeeded without the awesome kanji lists Now I use Sticky Study for N1 studying I simply use the builtin dictionary to look up words I dont know from my textbooks and with one tap the word is added to my custom learning deck I havent found a solution from other apps as smooth as this one Its designed well and lets you study without too much complexity or distractions The developer is really responsive too If you have an idea or feedback send it to him and he listens                 Constantly Improving

Wonderful app for learning Japanese                 素晴らしい

This app has helped me tremendously I am learning to read Japanese so quickly I definitely recommend it                 5 star App

A solid simple SRS app A shame it doesnt sync outside of using Dropbox              What Ive been looking for

This app is a great tool in learning the kanji well worth it Support for it is fast and responsive too Get this app                 Great app

This is easily the best system for studying kanji that Ive tried Sure wish Id had this app when I took Japanese in college It would have been a much better method for studying kanji than anything I tried Ive had the app for several months now and it has had a couple updates in that time and has performed flawlessly The dictionary is great the study method unexcelled I cant recommend this app enough Well worth the purchase price                 An absolutely wonderful method

Fantastic for serious learners A former Anki user here Ive switched to StickyStudy and it has been an excellent decision I use this for dedicated flashcard work trusting this SRS completely Great developer responsive to mail                 updated review 2015

Awesome app I am enjoying study times with that D                 Useful app

Favorite feature is the JLPT vocab lists that will track your flash cards and progress through a list                 JLPT vocab lists

Purchasing this app is the best decision Ive ever made I bought it two weeks ago and have been studying like crazy and have learned about 300 kanji I speak pretty fluent Japanese but I am illiterate because I cant read kanji I can read hiragana and katakana just fine This app is the best purchase Ive ever made in the App Store The dictionary is genius I love how you can save words you looked up to what you Are currently studying so you can learn it and I love how you set a goal to learn a set of kanji by and it tells you how many you need to check off every day in order to reach that goal Seriously genius Buy it Its worth the money One suggestion I might have is that it took me a while to tinker through the app in order to figure out how it worked and everything Consider a simple tutorial to help people get started and familiar with the app Other than that perfect                 Simply Amazing

For about 10 this app is a really great value It would take me forever to make all the flashcards that are contained within the app However some of the Flashcards have mistakes Definitions of words are incorrect or missing I dont notice this often but of course I only notice it with words I already know or words that have English translations that differ greatly from the translation in the example sentence If I dont bother to read the example or I really just dont know the word I would have no idea I also dislike the way the kanji are presented in general The kanji decks are animated to show the stroke order I went through the settings but I couldnt turn the stroke order off The vocabulary cards dont have this problem           Great value but some problems

Great app Clean interface nice flash card repetition spacing A must for studying words and kanji for jlpt or everyday life                 Fantastic

Elegant and effective study aid Only flaw I noticed is that the flashcards get progressively slower to display the answers as more are viewed Go through 200 cards and the slowdown is clearly noticeable Killing the app and restarting solves it A basic text viewer perhaps using iTunes file sharing for file import would be a nice addition Maybe also the ability to scan an imported text file and construct a flashcard set from the contents automatically This app is obviously a labor of love Many thanks to the author for such a useful tool                 Very useful

Great and absolutely one of the best apps to learn japanese definitely worth the full price only one thing to complain about it which is some annoying glitch where it wont fully scroll down even though its obvious that you can continue scrolling since I see half a kanji letter that wont fully show but I still use it all the time and it now seems so much easier to have a fully kanjidictionary in the palm of your hand              日本

Ive been using the free version for months and didnt know if purchasing the full version was worth it Ive tried all sorts of kanji study apps but I always found myself coming back to StickyStudy I also hesitated because I didnt know how it would perform on my old iPhone 3G but found it works fine save for the occasional hiccup The kanji stroke animations alone are worth the price of the app Ive only just skimmed the surface of this app and am very pleased Thanks for all the hard work and love that went into this                 Please take my money

This is the best kanji study app you can buy The algorithm is perfect and the progress graphs give you good feedback and motivation The only downside is that it is difficult to sync between iPhone and iPad because you can only backup one grade at a time That said if you want to learn kanji this app is worth every penny                 Best kanji study app out there

Great app especially for me Theres a lot of content My own Japanese skills are close to nonexistent Its awesome that Im learning new vocabkanji every time I open this app I have noticed small errors like in the example sentences So I take those with a pinch of salt I wish I could customize these flashcards though I wanted to personalize them and add mnemonics since they really help me remember I do add them to the Answer section but it makes the definition bulky and hard to read especially if its a long one An option to add mnemonics would be great Another problem I had with the app was the sound I have the Auto Play turned on but there is no sound when I study the decks There are some sound clips for words I look up in the Dictionary though I was under the impression there is sound for each flashcard but thats not the case I guess I misunderstood It would be difficult to record all the readings              Really Good

The developer keeps making this app better and better with each update Ive had it for over a year and the updates keep coming regularly Great job                 All in the details

If you really want to learn kanji this is te best app for you Good job for this update                 Good Job

I wish I had bought this app years ago Practicing my Japanese vocab has never been more efficient Its essentially smart flash cards with audio for the words it remembers if you get them right or wrong and retests you appropriately It also provides a very useful JapaneseEnglish Dictionary and shows the stroke order for Kanji It even came preloaded with the Kanjivocab lists for JLPT N5N1 and Grade 19 I can link it to drop box directly to make my own lists or make them on my iPodiPhone directly too The only way Id be more satisfied with this app is if it could just transmit the info directly into my brain                 I wish I had bought this app Years ago

Very good app for learning kanji but some doesnt show the how to write animation when clicked Please fixed besides that everything is grand              Great app for learning but need some fixing

When studying any language Ive always dreaded using flashcards even though I knew theyd really help out in my weakest area vocabulary Most of what I disliked was the time it took to make the darn flashcards so I was very grateful when I saw this and realized that I didnt have to do that anymore for Japanese anyway Usually Im a slow learner when it comes to vocabulary but I was surprised by how much more quickly I learned with this For the most part the vocabulary is more than what Im currently learning but its been so much fun going to class and surprising everyone including myself when I read something that isnt on our usual vocabulary list and actually knowing what it means The features on this app that Ive found most useful are the flashcards duh thats a given the samples of kanji combinations that come with each word the stroke order animation and the similarlooking characters I cant tell you how many times Ive had trouble on a kanji quiz and used a character that was slightly different than the one I needed Its nice to have all of those different ones in the same place for me to compare easily In spite of the occasional updates that slightly interrupt how I work with the app this is still a very good reliable app It just keeps getting better and better with each update even though its close to perfect anyway My only suggestions to make it completely perfect would be to include hiragana and katakana flashcards for those of us just starting out and not being able to read those characters next to the kanji Either that or put in romaji Or all three Also I would love to see in this app or another app some kind of flashcard thing where we actually get to practice writing the kanji That would be a dream come true for me especially since I learn even better doing in addition to seeing and sounding things out All in all this is a great app Thank you                 Very Useful App Thanks

Ive been using this app for the past two years to study for the N3 and N2 JLPT exam I have no doubt that a lot of the credit for my passing those exams goes to this app and Im continuing to use it for the N1 There are LOADS of really valuable options in settings which let you choose to reveal the answers in stages hear audio trace the kanji with and without shadowed guides In fact there are so many options that Ive had to be bailed out by the creator of the app a couple of times and in both cases he responded immediately I lived in Japan in the predigital days of the late 1980s and early 1990s when looking up a kanji required counting strokes and leafing through a kanwa dictionary This app represents pretty much the polar opposite of that laborious process If there was an option for more than 5 stars Id select it                 Amazing App

I cant get the audio for n4n1 in the settings It says cant connect to app store Please fix it Best app anyway                 Cant get audio n4n1

Easy to use effective and constantly being improved Love this app                 Love this app

The redtogreen color progression as you learn is instant gratification and very good indication of where you stand at a certain point This app is very well polished and thorough for anyone looking to learn kanji                 Extremely thorough and intuitive

This app has everything on my perfect kanjivocab study tool wish list no compromises Its probably the most used app on my phone On top of that the app creator is incredibly responsive and often has a fix out for any issues reported within days                 Brilliant

This is the best japanese flash card app out there Easy to use clean interface and a flash card algorithm that works With built in flash card libraries and the ability to easily create your own this is absolutely my go to app for studying                 Amazing flash card app

I really really like this app and am using it to prepare for the JLPT The fact that it is designed to help you learn a set of vocabulary by a certain date makes it perfect for this Its generally pleasing and fun to use I would like it to be enhanced to make adding your own vocab or importing vocab from other apps easier              Excellent

I have been studying Japanese for almost 20 years and this app is by far the most fun and effective way I have found to study                 Marvelous

I had just written a 1000 character review that cried out to the heavens the numerous virtues that this app poses but alas as I clicked send the App Store declined my previously selected name and unceremoniously deleted my love letter of adoration Thus I shall reduce my simmering pot of love for this app into a thick viscous syrupy dollop of praise This app is amazing I learnt TONS in relatively little time and the interface is a dream it so cheap and so convenient youre cheating yourself by not downloading it Get it I promise you wont regret it                 I 3 this app

Ive been looking for quite awhile for a kanji flash card app for my iPad mini I have a physical deck at home by White Rabbit Press but its cumbersome to take out on trips especially when you start reviewing over 50 cards You can study decks based on the JLPT test system or on the grade school system Each kanji has a sample sentence to help you understand its usage and shows you other kanji that look similar to it to help you notice the difference The app also keeps track how long you take while studying I guess I mostly like that because it helps give me perspective on how long it takes me to learn new kanji                 Best of the Best

A superbly designed source for learning Kanji a crucial aspect of understanding Japanese writing since Haragana and Katakana dont cover most of what is expressed and it is the best Ive found Once youve learned your Hs and Ks thats ps and qs in English this is where to keep going                 Has to be the best Ive found

This app has been one of the greatest learning tools Ive come across I absolutely love it and the new speech function makes this app a million times better Definitely recommend this to anybody whos serious about studying Japanese                 Great app

There are a lot of intelligent flash card apps but this is a great choice Works just as it should with great interface The algorithm is good Developer is friendly and addresses bugs quickly                 Worth Your Money

Great app Easy to use Built in decks covering JLPT Kanji N1 N5 JLPT Vocab N1 N5 School Grades 1 9 You can easily create your own decks as well                 Happy user

This app helped me pass N1 Super handy                 素晴らしくてナイスチョイス

I like the program a lot My Japanese wife took one look at it and said that I was studying bad fonts and it will hurt me when I see normal fonts in Japan I would rate this five stars if the kanji looked like the kanji as it is written in the section that shows how to write the kanji        Wrong fonts

This is the first app I have ever bought Ive been trying to study Japanese by myself for a long time but only since I started using this app I felt like actually learning the language Its a really complete app that allows you to learn pretty advanced vocabulary 8 dollars is just too cheap                 Best Learning App Ever

This is probably the best way to learn kanji if youre really serious about it With its help Ive learned nearly 600 new kanji in about a month since Im trying to become fluent in Japanese However I think there are some improvements that can and SHOULD be made First of all whenever I download an updated version it erases all my prior data So all the sections go back to zero and I have to start all over again Secondly when I start a new section there are usually kanji I already know It would be nice if I could just select those and move them to the mastered green section so I wouldnt have to waste my time with them and be able to see how many kanji I have yet to learn without counting the ones I already know Lastly this app should be able to sync between devices I like to study on both my iPhone and iPad Say I use my iPhone and master 300 cards in the N5 vocabulary If I want to switch to my iPad the cards are at zero since the app doesnt sync between devices This is frustrating for me since it slows down the learning process and should be a relatively easy thing to improve on If the developer could implement these suggestions then this app would be the greatest out there           Fantastic app but

This app is really great I love the layout the example sentences similar kanji and that it has compounds The thing that would make this app perfect is the addition of radicals If this app had the ability to break down each kanji and show the radicals and their meanings I would give it an easy 5 stars Radicals are very important to learning kanji They not only break up the kanji into smaller parts they give the learner an alternative way to memorizing kanji Instead of breaking down a kanji by its strokes if you break it down using radicals it cuts your learning time in half and it helps you memorize other kanji at the same time              Needs radicals

I got my JLPT1 a few years ago and want to study some more again This app blew me away A must buy for those who are serious about study                 Wow

This app blew me away Tons of added functionality like the ability to edit each individual entrys readings and meanings Comes with all JLPT levels for kanji AND vocab not to mention the Joyo common 2k list and grade school level sorting A musthave companion for any serious learner                 Worth Every Penny

For 999 you get thousands of JapaneseChinese symbols an extremely intuitive dictionary examples for each character every single onyomi and every single kunyomi a native speaker a writing guide for each kanji and every single decl you could possibly need plus the ability to create your own The spaced repetition system SRS spaces out the kanji you know from the ones you dont Definitely worth the 10 I paid for it                 One of the best Japanese Kanji learning apps
