Customer Reviews
Sugoi!
If you're familiar with KanaSwirl, then be pleasantly graced with the same experience in KanjiSwirl. The simplicity of this app is superb. And it let's you progress at your own pace, methodically - slow or fast. This is not boring like most rote memorization tools, because it challenges you to remember and discern among many items at once. Highly recommended. After my first night of play, I finally know 50 Kanji!
I know the Dev has been quiet, but I really hope he adds all 2,136 of the joyo kanji. Onegaishimasu!
Another thing, I don't know if this is doable but it would be helpful to see the Hiragana readings (instead of just English). Maybe these could be included as a setting to switch between English and Hiragana? Once you know the meaning, it makes sense to begin work on pronunciation.
