Controls are cumbersome. Most crossword apps have static buttons near inputs for navigation, but this app has no button to advance to the next word, no button to submit a word, seemingly no way to delete one box (can only delete entire words), etc Would also be nice if the app automatically panned and zoomed to the word I'm on, so I don't have to pinch zoom.

Thanks for the feedback! You should be able to tap on a specific character if you want to replace just that one. I'm extremely strapped for time due to the main learning app that I work on, but I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind if I am able to make improvements in the future!

Excellent app, been dreading reopening Anki for a long time after passing N2, but this app makes kanji and vocab study fun. I have two suggestions: adding pitch accent graphs to words. Having audio is great, but being able to visualize it helps me a lot. Also, Japanese definitions and example sentences would be awesome. I try to go monolingual when possible. Being able to export to Anki would be great, but I think Renshu has its own alternative to Anki so they probably aren't into that idea.

Thanks for the review! I unfortunately do not have access to Japanese dictionary data that can be licensed, but I hope it becomes available in the future! I may add images at some point, but 100% of my time currently is devoted to renshuu (or main app).

This app is pretty entertaing and helps to practice and learn new vocabulary. I think the mix of english instructions and japanese vocab works especially well for me. You do have to pay $4.99 if you want all of the levels (there's a lot) but it does give you a good ammount of them in the free version. My one wish is that there would be a way to search through or organize your vocab in the "words found" section. That way it's easier to review and look up vocabulary that you use in the game.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it! I am not making any major changes to the app at the moment, but I will certainly keep your request in mind if I am able to make some changes of that size. Do let me know if you need anything else! I'm always available at [email protected].
