    Better reviewing when fsiled

    Ajbjc · 2 · Last reply by Ajbjc

    The main problems I have with reviewing a kanji is that if I forget what the kanji looks like and therefore fail, it immediately goes to the step with the green dots where it feels like it's wasting my time. I already know where the start points are, and you either have to do that just to eventually do it without any guide on screen or mark it as "just learned" to skip it to the next day. Maybe it could be a toggle in the settings that it doesn't immediately go back to the one with the green dots,

    Custom definitions for kanji

    MageBruh · 0 · Posted

    Any plans on letting users add their own definitions for kanji? Or re-arranging the order of definitions?

    I thought it would be a good idea to learn kanji alongside new vocabulary, so I mostly use Custom Reviews for new kanji. For example, I recently learned 改札 (kaisatsu, or "ticket gate")

    Issue is, the definitions for 改 don't have kaisatsu, and 札 has kaisatsu as the 2nd definition.

    Are there plans to make the app available in additional languages like German?

    ForboJack · 0 · Posted

    Love the app, but it would be far easier to learn Kanji, when I could see the translations in my native language.

    Radicals deck

    Martens Langiewicz · 0 · Posted

    I'd love to have a kanji radicals deck to include in my learning.

    I'd make it so much easier and faster for me to memorise more complex kanji (Heisig style ;) ).

    I passed N3 years ago, and now coming back to relearn kanji, I found out I'm much better at relearning kanji I had the radicals memorised for the first time.

    Account system e-mail/pass login OR facebook-google options

    Litwickclub · 0 · Posted

    I suggest making an account system, a simple one to log-in via e-mail and pass.

    Since ringotan will become paid figure something out so only one free account per ip for example or something and so on.. This will help save progress if a device is lost.

    No account system what if the app is deleted, means all progess gone forever?

    Litwickclub · 0 · Posted

    Please add an account system asap to login and save progress online because if you lose your phone or delete the app all progress is lost 😨 ok edit: you can save via export and importing. I appreciate that.

    Custom study: Sort by Last Failed (time)

    Jeanpatiri500 · 0 · Posted

    Please consider adding a Sort by Last Failed search option. This would be very useful to me and probably many other people to be able to grind the Kanjis we struggled with.

    For now I'm using the "Most Difficult First" which is also useful, but in some sessions/some cases, Sort by Last Failed would be even more useful. (Both are very useful in different situations)

    Thanks in advance! Your app has been of a great help to me so far, I'm grinding my kanji writing skills as this is required for the language school I will be joining in April

    Lessons don’t pop up on the first introductory sequence for Tobira

    Tobirakun · 1 · Last reply by Tobirakun

    Not sure why but when I first downloaded the app and whenever I reset the data and chose Katakana and Tobira, nothing shows up on my lesson plan (the “This Lesson” tab said there are none.) Once I switched the book to genki and back to Tobira, the lessons finally showed up, but now I can’t adjust where I want to start from.

    Would you ever consider adding Chinese?

    Aedon Cassiel · 1 · Last reply by Aedon Cassiel

    There is tons of great open source data out already, like https://github.com/chanind/hanzi-writer?tab=readme-ov-file and https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi and given you already have Ringotan put together, I wonder if feeding this data in wouldn’t be fairly trivial. I can ALMOST replicate Ringotan-like function using this tool https://github.com/krmanik/Anki-xiehanzi to pull from those resources into an Anki deck, but by default they're teaching hanzi by having you draw over the outlines instead of testing you on hanzi like Ringotan does with kanji. I spent a few hours trying to duct tape my way into a solitution, to mixed results. But even if I managed to get

    Make a comprehensive kanji lesson

    Currently, no lesson contains every kanji supported by Ringotan.  We should create one that does.

    Find some more common hyougai kanji

    BlueRaja · 2 · Last reply by Aedon Cassiel

    According to this question, the word 朦朧 is fairly common, but neither kanji is included in Ringotan.  It seems neither the word nor kanji are listed as common in our dictionaries, but ロス先生 confirmed that it is.  So, let's find more data sources that include this information.

    Apparently JPDB lists it as common. Where do they get their information from?

    Recommend books that you can read with the kanji you know.

    Joshua · 0 · Posted

    This is probably a moonshot, but imagine this: I am studying 200 kanji. I want to practice reading those kanji. Ringotan knows what kanji I am studying and maybe connects to a db somewhere that stores all the vocab for various books. It then recommends books that use kanji only up to the point I have studied kanji.

    Conversely, we could select books we want to be able to read, and ringotan would make a custom review of all the kanji therein that we need to know.

    Allow us to view a list of which Kanji are at aka-chan, gakusei, senpai, tensai, and sensei levels.

    Joshua · 0 · Posted

    There are a lot of Kanji I haven't seen for a while, guessing they are all at sensei level. Would like to be able to see them to verify I recall what they are.

    倒 stroke order detection is incorrect

    Jae An · 0 · Posted

    The third stroke of 倒's start and end are shown correctly (the < like stroke), however it will be marked as incorrect if you do not write it the opposite way it is shown.
