    Add school grades to setup wizard

    Eiri · 0 · Posted

    Before trying this app, I'd been learning in school grade order. But that wasn't listed. I tried a few of the listed learning methods in the startup wizard, but all of them seem to make me put in a mix of kanji I do and don't know in the same basket.

    undo button & letting me say when I'm done writing

    Eiri · 0 · Posted

    I wish I could write whatever I want, undoing any mistakes, and explicitly say when I'm done. It would feel a lot more natural and akin to using a pencil and eraser that way vs getting blasted with "Wrong!" and given the answer the moment my hesitation makes me mess up. Plus, if I try to draw a second stroke after my "wrong" one, it immediately skips me to the next question, which feels weird to me.

    compound word study

    Nebumune · 0 · Posted

    This might be a lot to ask, or it could be very easy to implement depending on how the app was created. I was wondering if a new mode could be added for compound word study. Nothing major — imagine that after pressing the "Study" button, you have the classic single-kanji study option, plus a second option for compound words.

    This second option would work just like the first one, but instead of a single character slot, there would be multiple slots for a specific word. For example, if the question is "警察":

    Add an option to not stop playing other audio sources while using Ringotan

    fresco · 2 · Last reply by fresco

    Sometimes I want to listen to music while doing my reviews, but as soon as I open the app, the audio stops. It'd be nice to fix this, or if it's intended to work this way, add an option to do that.

    Tapping too quickly after answer will skip a card

    Patrick · 0 · Posted

    Background: when you’ve answered a card, if the answer is correct then instead of having to tap “next” you can just tap the background and you will advance to the next card.

    If you do this too quickly, you will sometimes see a card appear briefly but then immediately advance to the next card. That card will not show up later in the review, so it is effectively skipped.

     This was observed on the iOS app.

    Add support for the MaruMori API

    Newgrounds0 · 0 · Posted

    It would be neat if there was a way to sync your kanji progress with MaruMori's API, similar to how you can sync it with WaniKani currently.

    This would be especially useful for all the N1-and-beyond kanji that WaniKani doesn't cover.

    Add new tutorial popup for "kanji that looks different when printed"

    BlueRaja · 1 · Last reply by Newgrounds0

    I've had feedback from a few users who thought that kana/kanji like り, 心, 令 etc. were being prompted incorrectly because the prompt looks different than the printed character. When one of these shows up, we should give a tutorial popup to let them know.

    Show Kanji in Example Compounds

    Poorvi Acharya · 0 · Posted

    Right now, the app displays example compounds entirely in hiragana. For example, if I’m learning 緯, it shows けいい (details) and いど (latitude).

    I think it would be much more useful if the compounds were written in kanji while omitting the character being studied. For example:

    • Instead of けいい, display 経?
    • Instead of いど, display ?度

    This way, we can see how the kanji is actually used in real words rather than just memorizing the hiragana reading. Furigana could also be included on top for reading support.

    Here is a sample image of what this (could) look like, though there's

    "put new kanji before review" option?

    Jae An · 0 · Posted

    Unsure if this is a bug, however I do not see this "put new kanji before review" anywhere in the app despite the play store page claiming it should exist.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it on a separate device yet I do not see this option there either.

    # Edit: It was hidden until a daily new kanji limit is set. It would be helpful to either grey this option out or something similar so that it can be easily found.

    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

    UJRKx · 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?

    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
