## Review summary

KanjiBox is a feature-rich, all-in-one Japanese study app that many users rely on for years, especially for kanji writing practice (KanjiDraw) and customizable study lists. Its strengths include multi-device syncing, an affordable price, and strong writing drills. Common complaints center on stability issues, UI/UX changes like large fonts, a limited in-app dictionary, and a desire for more grammar content.

### Pros

- KanjiDraw (and KanaDraw) handwriting practice strengthens recall and is considered worth the price.
- Easy creation and sharing of custom/public lists; quick to build study sets and use public lists.
- Long-term effectiveness and reliability, with years of use across devices.
- Good value at a one-time price with no heavy subscription.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues, including launch crashes and long-running crashes.
- UI/UX issues in recent updates, such as oversized reading fonts on smaller screens.
- Limited in-app dictionary; not a comprehensive dictionary, prompting use of external resources.
