I would prefer the option to either pick the romanji for the character instead, and also the option to turn off the romanji for the kanji portions to help the learner get used to the alphabets while also making it a bit more challenging. Otherwise, this is a great study guide for beginners and a great way to boost your reading and refreshing your knowledge for those who know a bit more.

Hi, Charles! Thank you so much for rating and for your suggestions. It's a good idea to add an option to enable/deisable romanji on Kanji mode, and also let you select if you want to play Hiragana/Katakana using kanas or romajis. I'll take these suggetions to the team to analyze when can we release these features. Thanks again.

I really enjoy this game; it's a good way to learn and review the characters with its simple trial and error gameplay. Too bad the sounds are missing but there's a bunch of material on the web. The leaderboard gives it that fine touch of competitiveness that, having a timer, also helps (hopefully) the player to overcome the fear of making mistakes. Just go for it and have fun! @developer(s) If you ever put sounds, it would be nice to have the same gameplay but only with the sound: "a" -> あ or お

I love this app immensely, it has helped a lot and is worth 5 stars. However I gave it 4 stars for one single reason. When you get to the deeper training levels it starts to drag on a lot. I don't know what's up with the algorithm for picking how often an option is shown but I've seen training levels go on for several minutes all because the last symbol isn't brought up. Please fine tune this. Many thanks.
