What people use it for

Japanese learners who have already encountered the characters and want to solidify them through regular short tests, including handwritten input.

What reviews praise

The handwriting input feature accepts drawn characters and shows stroke order, per-character progress is visible at a glance, and sessions run without intrusive ads.

What reviews complain about

The smart quiz algorithm sometimes gets stuck on the same characters and stops testing katakana.
The app assumes you want to reinforce existing knowledge rather than learn characters from scratch.

What users experience

This is probably the best app that I have found so far that allows me to both write, type, and choose out of multichoice questions. I really appreciate the statistics, and the different colors on the charts to tell me what I need to work on.
