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

I think this app is really great for learning kanji. I just wish it was free. The interface is simple and I am remembering kanji and their pronunciations way easier. Now I am thinking about buying it after the N5 part.

usually i don’t waste money on subscriptions and try to get what i can for free, but i decided to give in and spend my money for the one time purchase and let me just say its SO WORTH IT. i gen think this is one of the only apps that has helped my learning kanji and keep it. not only that, i usually have a difficult time memorizing the writing and strokes and i’ve never had this issue with this app. love love love it 🤍🤍

No complaints about the functions about the app itself, except for the fact that my phone gets quite warm whilst using this app. I have an iPhone 12 so it might just be the device’s age or the app’s optimization , but it shouldn’t be getting my phone hot.
