    Support for Custom Kanji Decks

    Alden Geipel · 3 · Last reply by Saraph

    Please consider adding an option to add custom kanji decks rather than only providing the preset decks to study from. I would like to be able to export kanji learned through jpdb.io through their api and be able to study them in Ringotan. Ideally, this import would be done automatically by interfacing with a Ringotan api but any functionality for custom decks would be extremely useful. If there isn't a planned api for Ringotan, a simple interface where the user would paste all kanji to be included in the custom deck would work. Alternatively, Ringotan could read from a text

    Option to retry a kanji on bad input

    easynam · 3 · Last reply by kaizokunokazoku

    Sometimes, I get a kanji wrong because i accidentally tap the screen somewhere before i even start drawing, etc. In cases like that, it would be good if I could:

     - mark as a flubbed input

     - retry without recording a success or failure, and without revealing the kanji (as this would tell me the answer)

    Currently, the only option when this happens is to mark the answer as incorrect, as the fact that i can see the kanji and didn’t draw it means i can’t just assume i’d have gotten it right.

    Show user handwriting on top of the example after completing a question

    Anon User · 1 · Last reply by Patrick

    Sometimes it's really hard to tell if your completed answer has any small visual mistakes, even if you've successfully passed the question. (Optionally) showing the completed user kanji drawing after a successful question would really help with improving the last few inaccuracies I run into when handwriting.

    Option to see our FULL handwriting while drawing

    Nayelianne · 0 · Posted

    I'm not sure if it's a bug but currently even with the snap feature disabled our own line is visually replaced at every stroke, rather than only when we go off the mark. Worst of all, after getting it correctly there's no way to compare our own full written character to what the correct one was (seeing an animation of the original vs your drawing can be quite eye opening).

    So what's been happening is that some times I have the feeling I'm not being totally accurate but can't really tell because as soon as I lift my pencil my

    Multiple Device Sync Support

    Andy · 1 · Last reply by Emilia

    This has previously been requested but I think has been misunderstood on what's being asked. While your app does automatically back up it's progress from a database perspective, it does not currently share this database across separate devices. This is something that needs to be explicitly setup.  As an example, I currently have your app running on both an iPhone and an iPad. Any progress made on the iPhone is not actively synchronized to the app instance on the iPad. The cloud sync that you currently have is simply maintaining a backup of the app in the case of needing

    sync support

    airblaster · 6 · Last reply by Emilia

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if sync support (icloud or any other way) is a planned feature.

    I'm considering buying an iPad with an Apple Pencil for more precise drawing, but I would still want to sync the progress with my iPhone since I take it with me much more often.

    I tried an Adonit Dash 4 active pencil on my iPhone but up to 5% of the strokes aren't accurately detected which is pretty annoying for the Ringotan usecase.

    Definition at top

    Jim · 10 · Last reply by Anna

    Is there a way to have the definition shown at the top as a prompt before writing the Kanji instead of sample words with compound Kanji or conjugations?

    I want to learn the primary definition before learning other ways the Kanji can be paired and used.

    Find better way to introduce learning stages?

    BlueRaja · 1 · Last reply by Gamergod

    In particular, when Ross tried out the app, he got confused by the stage where two strokes are shown and the user needs to remember which start/end pair are for the next stroke.

    Maybe some kind of first time introduction that pops up the first time they encounter that stage (and other confusing things, like being able to switch correct/incorrect)?

    Let you choose the folder to save the back up to

    Jeremiah McElroy · 1 · Last reply by David

    Not all users have a computer available, if we could just choose the folder to back up to(or even just save it to a file accessible from the phone like documents) then it would be pretty trivial to save it to a cloud service like google drive.  Having so much work just to back up means users might not backup often enough and lose progress.

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

    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.

    Add a way to save the list of learned kanji on the clipboard

    Laynor · 3 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    First, would like to thank you for Ringotan, I'm using it daily and it's helping me a lot! Best part is I'm not getting tired of it and I'm keeping my efforts ^^

    I use Satori reader, and I want to hide the furigana for the kanji that I learned on Ringotan.

    It would be enough to copy the list on the clipboard for further editing maybe in some notepad app.

    Another possibility is saving some file in an easily accessible location. In the case of iOS, something that can be accessed with the Files app would be best. But

    Ability to review ahead even when no reviews are due

    BlueRaja · 0 · Posted

    Currently it's only possible to review ahead if there's at least one review due.  The user does that review, and is then asked if they'd like to continue with reviews that aren't due.

    They should have this ability even if there are no reviews overdue.

    compound word study

    Nebumune · 1 · Last reply by kaizokunokazoku

    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":
