Learn via vocab, JLPT N5–N1

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

This app single handedly has all you need to learn Kanji. SRS review system, learning Kanji through vocab, stroke order practice, in app calendar and reminders, kanji readings/definitions, clearly thought out interface???? It’s all right here. For the cohesiveness and price of the app I’d say this is even better than the big websites like WaniKani. Honestly the only thing I can think of that would improve the app is to add a section to learn radicals, but imo, radicals aren’t necessary; however, they will speed up your kanji learning and improve the effectiveness of this app. If anyone’s reading this, I suggest looking into radicals and seeing if you want to go down that route, if yes, I highly suggest just finding a simple radical anki deck and learning 2, 3, 4 radicals a day alongside this app!

I really like the custom study and writing, but I’d like to see some new ways of learning and studying kanji more effectively, like flash cards. And maybe actual tests?…
