User Reviews

Most users appreciate Ringotan for its effective kanji stroke order training, clean interface, and support for multiple writing systems and textbook orders. Key advantages include its spaced repetition system and WaniKani integration. Common criticisms are about strictness in stroke order, intrusive stroke snapping that alters user input immediately, limited customization options for study pacing, confusing audio cues tied to multiple words, and visual clutter in stroke guides. Users desire more flexibility to tailor the app to their learning preferences without compromising its core functionality.

Pros

Effective for learning and memorizing kanji stroke order through guided practice and spaced repetition.
Supports multiple Japanese writing systems (kanji, hiragana, katakana) and various textbook orders (e.g., Heisig, WaniKani).
Clean, simple, and straightforward user interface without unnecessary gamification or distractions.
Integration with WaniKani for synchronization enhances learning experience.
Allows gradual removal of writing aids, helping learners build confidence in writing kanji independently.

Cons

Strict stroke order enforcement with limited options to relax or customize it frustrates some users.
Stroke snapping modifies user's drawn strokes immediately, which some find intrusive; desire for an option to compare own strokes with correct ones after completion.
Lack of finer control over daily lesson limits and study pacing; users want more precise adjustments on new characters per day.
Audio prompts tied to words can be confusing due to homophones; users want ability to select audio cues or use English meanings instead.
Visual clutter in the learning grid caused by many stroke start/end points and dots is distracting for some learners.

Recent reviews

The only thing I think is missing is that I would like to be able to review with JUST the RTK kanji definition instead of having a word be the memory cue. I think this would simplify things for me.

This is an excellent app for starting to learn to write (and by extension read) Japanese. The main feature that I would love to see added would be one where it doesn't snap each stroke to be more "correct" in between strokes. There is a way to make it so that while you are making the stroke it doesn't draw the corrected one, but as soon as I lift my stylus it replaces my stroke with the correct one.
