App summary

Are you learning Japanese, but struggling to master the writing system? Do you wish there was a fun way to confidently memorise stroke orders? Now there is!

Characters fall from the top of the screen. Can you write them before they hit the bottom?

Japanese Writer is a great new way to master writing Japanese characters, including hiragana, katakana, and more than 2,000 Kanji from JLPT levels 5 up to 1.

It has a built-in spaced repetition algorithm which keeps track of how well you're doing with each character. Those you're making mistakes with will appear more often during play!

It's also a great character reference. Look up any character by romanisation or by typing Japanese—you'll hear all its pronunciations and see the correct stroke order too.

All JLPT level 5 characters are free to play, and there's a fairly priced subscription option for those ready to take their learning further.

I think your app is great and innovative! I've downloaded alot of kanji apps and yours is one of the best I love how I can select inviduval kanjis that I want to learn without overwhelming myself!

I like the idea of this app but it crashes every time. I have not successfully made it through a round. I usually can write about 5 kanji or so before it crashes.

The app has you write the kana or Kanji as a game, but it doesn't display the correct symbol while playing. I have images telling me to draw く but the kana it wants is actually は. After I draw the correct kana, it doesn't repair, rather it shows く again and asks for ろ. This app isn't adequate for writing practice or learning at all. It can't even do the basics of what it claims. Don't bother downloading it.
