Pros and cons of Kanji Stories app for iPhone and iPad
Kanji Stories app good for
This helped me learn faster! I recommend Kanji Words for anyone studying Japanese or living in Japan and trying to figure this place out. Thank you!
Please delete my recension for this software, i made it for the wrong application. thank you!
It would be really great if you could also tell us how these words are said in Japanese :)
Perfect to learn your kanjis. In about 15 minutes I already knew about 10 kanjis. Thanks a whole lot!
If you are using Heisigs Remembering the Kanji, aka "RTK" than this app is for you. There is also another app, the official version thats available, but it has an outdated list of kanji. This app has the latest list from the 6th edition of the RTK book.
The app is essentially a list for reference, but there is also an import and input function for Kanji Stories to help in memorization. I would like to see an upgrade that would include a flashcard review, a "random" flashcard option, but the app "as is" does an excellent job as a reference tool.
Some bad moments
Yup,
It doesnt seem like its been updated in a while. You can still get the stories from the website, but this is convenient. My god it crashes a lot.
They cover buttons at bottom of screen. Cant figure out a way around it.
Im VERY impressed by the number of kanji, and the stroke order is invaluable!! Wish it came with some stories preloaded though.
This is a perfect app to incorporate kanji studies via RTK. That way I no longer have to clutter my Anki RTK cards with stories hidden in the background (white text behind white background) which btw is impossible to highlight and see when doing reps via Ankiweb (I dont have Anki app; expensive :O )
What would make this app even better is if there was an option to make the order match the 6th edition :) overall great app for us iPhone user who use Ankiweb or other free srs
This app is great! Whoever is reading this, God bless you forever! :)
I was expecting this app to give me some sort of story to help me remember the kanji. Instead, it just stores the stories you make for yourself. This might be useful for ppl taking a class, but is not very helpful for self instruction.
