## Description

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.

## Review summary

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
