Kanji Flip App Reviews

Great application for studying Kanji. A bit expensive, but works good.

This is a very good, fairly priced app for reviewing Kanji. Im very glad that the meanings are in hiragana and katakana. Good idea to categorize by JLPT. It would be nice to just have a study module, so you could flip thru the Kanji and meanings quickly instead of pressing "show answer" and then "right and wrong". Scoring with "right" and "wrong" would be a 2nd step. My preference would be to take out the black gradient in the preview and answer screen. Stroke order would also be nice to see. But, hey this is a GREAT first shot.

Kanji Flip is a great flashcard program for improving or polishing up your Japanese. I purchased this very shortly after I got my iPhone in January of 2009, but not much seems to have changed significantly since then. The JLPT has moved from levels 4 ~ 1 to levels N5 ~ N1, but that is not reflected in this app. Several definition errors appear in the Meanings and Readings section as well, but its unclear if those errors are in Mr. Khromovs programming or errors in the publicly licensed KANJIDIC and EDICT databases. All in all, a often-used (by me) application that could use a little attention.

Ive toyed with Japanese on and off for a decade, but am finally starting to focus more and actually learn it. This program is awesome since I dont always have time to sit at my computer to learn.

There are free and much lower-priced apps that offer as much or more. For $6 I expect full functionality. As of December 2010, "browse" function not working. I give this three stars because I can the see the use for JLPT etc.

I learned of this program from a friend also interested in Japanese. I tried it on his touch and it was very easy to use. Now that I have my own itouch, I use it all the time. I am not past the second difficulty level, but it is very effective for me to use in short spurts. Recommended for japanese learners like myself.

Retina displays have been around for a year and a half, and for an app to not have been updated accordingly is a huge turn-off. Any even mediocre designer could design high def icons for the entire app in… no more than a few hours. Sticky Study Japanese is light years ahead.
