Even in the free version, excellent app. Teaches hiragana and katakana as well as a decent amount of kanji, and it allows you to see how you truly write (rather than force your line into the font, as many other apps do). One star less because it seems quitw resource intensive - my phone frequently heats up quite significantly while using it. No other major issues! /Edit: Picking it up again a couple of years later, new phone, no heating, very enjoyable. Went pro license 2 weeks ago, and happy!

All of the content is gone. Used to be able to use this app without logging in. Edit - nothing has changed. I still am forced to log in. And subscribe. This used to be a free app. With sections of stuff like colors, animals, foods, zodiacs, etc. With descriptions and videos. Now, all of that is gone. Only 'decks'.

This is such a great app for learning kanji! There is writing practice, and you can erase and write out the kanji as many times as you want - a feature that many other kanji learning apps lack as they just let you write it out once on your own before moving on. I also love that the app introduces you to some compound words and lets you practice different kanji together. The writing animation is also super satisfying. Thank you to the development team!

Thank you so much for the raving review! We are so happy that Skritter has helped your language journey. Would it be okay if we use this review in some future campaigns (possibly a social media image or an email). We only share the review, not the name. You can let us know at team@skritter.com.
