This is a great idea and is very useful for those of us who want to learn at a manageable pace. One critique I have is that at the beginning I was forced to choose only 500 words/kanji that would appear on my lock screen. I don’t see why all N5 vocab cannot be selected and is limited to 500

App itself looks really cool/seems like a great study tool but it costs money (7 day free trial) and there's no mention of that at all until after you get through the initial setup. I don't care about the cost, but I think it's irritating and deceptive that it doesn't come up until that point. Charge for your app if that's what you want/need to do, but in this day and age that's the kind of info you need to lead with, not leave until the last second.
