Second chance
This is not my idea, this is the idea of someone on the android store. But I thought it was a good idea to mention it, just for completion.
The basic idea is to give the user a second chance for Kanji which are really complicated. Maybe in form of a "Second Chance" button, which the user can activate in the options. Maybe some other method?

Can’t practice dakuon / other hiragana characters
I can practice the base 46 hiragana but it would be really helpful to be able to practice the other dakuon/yoon as well (for sounds like cha, pa, gu etc)

Add explanation of what comes next after first ever lesson
Something like "come back tomorrow", "keep a regular cadence", etc.

Add explanation screen after selecting 'no resource' in setup wizard
Something like "While Ringotan can be used on its own, it works best as a supplementary resource alongside something like Wanikani or Genki"

add kanji-dictionary lookup
Hi! I wonder if it would be possible to add a menu option: search in dictionary It would link to external websites or to existing apps on the android device
For example, "Japanese Kanji Study" is a very detailed app. And it would really be great if it can be opened at the right page for the kanji we are studying with ringotan. When we are learning a kanji, we could click on "additional lookup" and click on one option: - jisho.org - kanji koohii - weblio.jp - kanji study app (if installed) - ...

Indicate desired kanji via audio
I think altering the initial auto-pronunciation to {word} の {kanji} e.g. 「べんり」の「り」 would be much more helpful than just sounding the word itself.
Reason being:
When words with multiple kanji come up, you can't tell from the initial audio which part is being taught / asked for.
I think this is helping to cause false associations - e.g. having to write 便 or 利 after hearing べんり makes the two kanjis' readings more difficult to keep separate and therefore easier to confuse.It also negates many of the advantages of the audio when you always need to look at the

On’yomi words in katakana
When writing Kanji, I would like to see an option to have the on’yomi words in katakana, instead of having everything in hiragana.

Try out Voicevox
Apparently software that does a better job than Google TTS for pronouncing kanji. I should try it and see if it's a good replacement.

Show own handwriting & Sounds for multiple Readings
I have seen others post this idea already, but the more feedback the better, right?
The first idea is that your own handwriting is on the screen. Maybe until you make a mistake or until you complete a kanji. The specifics aren’t that important to me. Just swing your own handwriting until you finish a kanji is what I would absolutely love for the app to have. In my opinion you can’t cheat that way and you feel like you actually did write it all by yourself.
The second idea is that since most kanjis have multiple readings, there could

[MAUI] See if SVG icons work
Supposedly they do. If I can replace all the icons with their SVGs, this would save space + time, and would look better.

Show "No results found" in Custom Review
Right now, when no results are found, it says nothing.
We should add icon + "no results found" + "clear filters"

Able to set which hour new kanji should refresh
At the moment I'm using the "limit new kanji per day" feature set to 3 per 1 day, however, the "day" resets at 10pm which makes me involuntarily skip some days, and then have 0 new kanji to learn next day. Due to the refresh timing I end up doing some day's kanji the night before.

Support for multiple decks
Hi, would it be possible to support learning from multiple decks at the same time? For example, I want to learn both the kanji from Tobira and Quartet at the same time.

Vacation Mode
How about a vacation mode? Ideally it would work in a way that would freeze all scheduled reviews rather just just push the "vacation" days back and then have them all hit at the same time.

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?

Please add support for British GCSE Japanese
Some schools in the UK offer Japanese as a subject for GCSE, it would be very useful if there was a choice to arrange the kanji in GCSE order

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.

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

Dakuten und Handakuten
Hi, Is there a way to practice hiragana and katana with dakuten (and handakuten). Sometimes, it is easy to learn having some writing experience. Thank for the awesome and practical app!
