User Reviews

Reviewers praise Kanji Book as a free, easy-to-use tool that supports kanji writing with stroke-order guidance, self-paced drills, and a popular compound-word game. It’s praised for a simple, attractive interface ideal for beginners. Common drawbacks focus on missing pronunciation features (audio and Hiragana for compounds), limited radical information, lack of targeted kanji review, and occasional glitches. Overall, it’s a strong free starter app with room to add audio, radicals, and more customization.

Recent reviews

I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years, but I’ve never been able to get the hang of remembering kanji. Every other app I’ve tried has been largely ineffective or hit me with more work than I could handle. Kanji Book is fantastic! I can choose which kanji I want to focus on and practice them as much as I want until I feel comfortable. The compound and test features are effective at highlighting my trouble spots, and after only a few weeks of spending a few minutes a day practicing, I’m noticing huge improvements in reading comprehension and writing. No more feeling lost and overwhelmed! A huge thanks to the developer for making this available.

I’ve tried so many kanji apps and they’re never what I want. They’re either two hard to navigate or look terrible and uninviting and I’ve never used them for long. This is the first kanji app I think I’ll actually use. It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and I love the sound effects. I also love the different ways it just naturally tests you / mixes it up in the tests.
