Not something I want to do, but something I have to do, since Microsoft is dropping support for Xamarin...

Show radicals for kanji in different colors

Add an option to display the radicals for each Kanji in different colors

As a user, I want to see which kanji are mastered in each category

Ivan — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 06:57:30 +0000

Rationale:
The "Stats" section currently provides an overview of kanji mastery levels, ranging from "aka-chan" to "sensei." However, there is no way to see exactly which kanji fall within each mastery category. This lack of detail makes it difficult to track one's progress and focus on specific kanji one needs to improve.

Description:
I suggest implementing a new view that shows users the specific kanjis they’ve learned within each mastery category. This would provide more transparency in the learning process and help to focus on kanji that are not fully mastered yet.

Learn a certain number of kanji per day, rather than per lesson

Select how many New Kanji to Learn in a day (separate from reviews)

Nayelianne — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 07:40:38 +0000

Currently the kanji amount is shared between reviews and new kanji to learn so if you can't use the app everyday you're absolutely bogged down by hundreds of reviews of kanji before you're ever able to introduce new ones. It would be nice to be able to mix them slowly with reviews even if you have a bunch to review.

I don't want to bury them because they might no be THAT solid in my memory but having to go through massive amounts of reviews every time I want to learn a new one makes it really inviable for practical learning / someone on a test deadline / people who learn at quicker paces.

This flaw kinda encourages me to try to learn 60 new kanji whenever I finally get through with the review backlog (which is ridiculously high I know, I'd be fine with only 3 a day or something), and that's only because having to write hundreds of characters just so I'm able to add a COUPLE of new ones is just awful.

I understand the app was designed to introduce them slowly but people are different and learn differently so pleeeese please give us the option to control our own pace a little better. :(

Undo a Card

sanaxoh946 — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 00:40:56 +0000

I have not found any way to undo a card on iOS. I would say that it is quite the necessary feature, especially when dealing with misclicks.

For example, missing the toggle button for correct and wrong will completely mess up the card SRS, which could be fixed with an undo option.

Or, when accidentally tapping the screen and messing up the drawing, you could choose to go to the next card, undo, and try again.

Allow test area to be moved to different positions on the screen

Kitsune1324 — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:57:23 +0000

It would be awesome if the test area could be positioned in a different location on the screen. This would allow an easier time writing while using tablets as you can use pace your hand in a more comfortable position

Add support for Tobira beginner series

Rename "Report a Bug" to "Ringotan Support" on the homepage.

Gamergod — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 10:00:16 +0000

In my experience I would have nearly missed the Ringotan Support Site because it is labeled as "Report a Bug" on the Homepage, even though there are a lot more options than just to report a bug, namely "Share an Idea" and "Ask a question".

This simple change would be greatly appreciated, because new users could be mislead by the title.

Adjustable reading priorities

Andrew Jing — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 00:04:00 +0000

Some of the kanji pronunciations/readings that are spoken as the aural prompts are not the best for me to remember said kanji. i.e. On the iPhone version of the app, only the left-sided readings are available to select as the default pronunciation, as the readings come in pairs of two. If there's a reading I want to be selected as the cached aural prompt but it's on the right side of the screen, I can't select it, since you can only swipe two readings at a time.

Cloud sync

Andrew Jing — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 00:01:26 +0000

Please include an iCloud syncing feature! Big time fan of ringotan, I'd love to be able to continue studying on my iPad, which is currently not an option.

Then I could learn writing alongside reading

Lower minimum "Kanji Per Lesson"

Johan Aires Rastén — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 02:36:10 +0000

It seems like the lowest setting results in 7 new kanji, if there are no scheduled reviews. But as someone without visual memory (a.k.a. aphantasia) learning ideograms is somewhat challenging, so I would really appreciate if there was an even lower setting. Personally I think a limit of 3 new kanji would be ideal.

Review Ahead and New Items

Gamergod — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 03:00:30 +0000

There is no "Review Ahead" button on the "Begin Lesson" screen, but you can review ahead when you are done with your reviews.

When you are done with you reviews, you should be asked to do New Items and vice verca, too.
