Add support for ryakuji
Not sure if kanjivg supports these, but could just add the most common ones manually

Share menu for Backup export
Curently backups are saved in hard to access directories, and involve connecting to a computer to transfer them between devices.
Having an option to export the backup through the device's share menu (like send to mail, send to Telegram, etc, or simply to save the file to a place of your choice) like many other apps do, would make it a lot easier when using multiple devices.

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

Better support for Jinmeiyou kanji
A handful of jinmeiyou kanji aren't used in any actual words (making them not currently supported). And a lot of the ones that are are so rare we shouldn't be using them as prompts. It'd be better to use names for prompts instead, the way they're actually used.
Some examples: 燿藥覽偖凭剌哥嗽嘸嚏囀嫋屹掏捩焜犇皰稍窶綽罅聊臘蜀齎跣踉蹌軈閊靨鞦韆飩饂暝

Sort by Number of Strokes
It would be super helpful if in the Custom Review screen it were possible to sort by the number of strokes in each Kanji.
My usual approach to learning new Kanji is to browse for any Kanji that are made up components I've already learned but currently this involves a lot of scrolling and a lot of missed possibilities. If it were possible to sort by the number of strokes in the Custom Review screen it would pretty much guarantee that any new Kanji I pick is either made of components I already know or something irreducible that I will

Custom study for Sensei-level kanjis
Is it possible to add an option to custom study only kanjis you've reached Sensei level on? Similar to WaniKani that has an option to study all your Burned kanji randomly. Also, as a follow up, what exactly reaching Sensei means? Do they still come back to reviews after some time?

Additional lesson plan/book source : Nihongo Soumatome
Hi, I use Nihongo Soumatome as my main textbook for Kanji and others. It would be helpful if you can add lesson plan based on this book. Thank you!

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.

Find some more common hyougai kanji
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?

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

Better reviewing when fsiled
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,

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

compound word study
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":

The app says the word aloud and

Separate "after studying" screen
Right now after studying it goes straight back to the review screen. It would be nice to instead see a new screen showing what you learned during the lesson and how you improved (or not!)

Show amount of time is between each level
It would be great to know how long it takes a kanji to go from Aka-chan to sensei. I found I had a bunch them at Tensai and I was wondering for what felt like a long time, "how long will it be before these show up again?"
