Learn via vocab, JLPT N5–N1

Overview

Version:

1.6.44

Last updated: 2026-08-31

Features & Capabilities

Kanji Study takes a vocabulary-first approach: you learn kanji through the words they appear in, not as isolated characters. With real JLPT vocabulary—over 5,000 words across N5 to N1—you absorb kanji readings naturally, one word at a time, the way Japanese is actually used.

Key features include writing lessons with stroke detection, spaced repetition for English→Japanese and Japanese→English, offline access, audio pronunciation, and full JLPT coverage from N5 to N1 — ideal for JLPT prep and everyday study.

User Reviews

Reviews praise the app for well-structured, JLPT-organized lessons, stroke-order practice, self-grading recall, and affordable per-lesson pricing, plus responsive development. However, recurring downsides include a paywall/subscription model with unclear pricing, reliability issues after updates (loss of progress, input bugs), no cross-device syncing, and occasional concerns about long-term maintenance or abandonment.

Pros

Structured JLPT-level lessons with manageable kanji chunks and related vocabulary
Stroke order learning and writing practice features that reinforce recognition
Self-grading mode and flexible practice options (English/Japanese recall) beyond multiple choice
One-time per-lesson pricing offering affordability without a monthly subscription
Positive developer responsiveness and ongoing improvements (bug fixes and feature updates)

Cons

Paywall/subscription model with unclear upfront pricing and frequent mentions of paying for lessons
Reliability issues after updates, including progress loss and input problems
Lack of cross-device syncing, meaning progress/reviews stay on a single device
Perceived abandonment or long gaps between updates, with some reports of unfinished content or lack of support

Edit: Improved contexts for some words. Thank you!! This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for years now. I thought I could get away with memorizing vocab and not learning kanji, but being able to recognize kanji in and out if context has been incredibly helpful, even after just working through N5. The word categorization when learning words is very helpful; I wish it was a feature on more apps like Memrise. I’m on N4 words now, totally worth the flat rate price of the app (probably costs less than a subway sandwich these days). Thanks so much for this app!!

Great app to learn Kanji and vocabulary. Was experiencing a bug that was promptly fixed by the devs. It would be great if there was an export option so that we can do further reviews or merge with existing decks on Anki. Currently there’s no way to see vocabulary progress.
