Ability to copy the Kanji and Kana pronunciation to clipboard
I'm trying to build out a vocabulary deck on Anki of the kanji examples I'm learning from Ringotan but to be able to input these words into Anki I need to open Anki, put the Japanese keyboard, input that Kanji and it's Hiragana pronunciation, than change to English keyboard, write the translation and so on and so forth for each word.
At the top of most kanji there's about 6 example words with different readings, which is great but it also means that for each kanji, if I wanted to add all 6 words to anki, I'd at minimum need

Can we please get the option for reviews in smaller batches?
I have taken a few months off from learning and I have a pile of almost 800 reviews I'm trying to chip away at.
Current sessions, even set to "few" are almost 20 at a time. I'm having to make mistakes with most of these as I refresh my memory on each of them.
The huge review size is making both the time and frustration for each review batch oppressive, especially if I make two mistakes in a row for any item and get dropped into idiot mode.
Can we get an option for a "Tiny" batch size of 5?

Option to switch off progressive stroke reveal, and instead display full kanji at the end, with self-marking of correct/incorrect result
Hello - I recently added a comment on an older “problem” post (that had been marked as “solved”) but didn’t see any reply yet, so in case it is exempt from notifications, I wanted to create a new post here.
The original post is: “Option to reveal answer after drawing”.
I would like to revive the discussion of this potential feature, as while I understand and appreciate the hesitation from the developer, I still believe it has a lot of value as an optional “advanced mode” for kanji you have already learned to a high degree.
I will repost my

Let you choose the folder to save the back up to
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.

Will it be possible to select two books to study from?
I am about to finish Tobira beginners, I want to switch to the other tobira book, but I’d like to still be interrogated on the first book to maintain my knowledge. Is it possible somehow to select two books or more?
I know that you can change at will, but (correct me if i am wrong) when I finished my daily study of beginner, even if I switch deck, my lessons to reviews will still be at 0. Meaning that if I want to study the same deck everyday, I can’t go to another one.
and thanks for that wonderful

Grade relative length of strokes
This may well be more work than it's worth but it would be awesome of Ringotan could tell me when my strokes aren't proportionally correct.
Even just doing something like sorting the x and y coordinates of the the endpoints of the answer and making sure that the same thing for what the user has drawn so far is a subsequence of that would help a lot!

Automatically reading out of multiple words
I am finding the first word being read out automatically to be extremely helpful, however I also find myself scrolling through and tapping the words only to hear the different ways the kanji is read in different words.
For this an option to read out multiple words, either all or once for each different reading of the kanji, would be useful.

Add an optional additional level where you can see your raw writing, without any snapping
Disclaimer: I realize that this is similar to issues #450 and #431
But these are years old, and there is some additional things I want to say.
Sometimes when I forget a kanji, I simply tap and drag where I think the nearest stroke starts, and then the snap then reminds me of how to write the kanji in full.
Problem is, this isn't really considered "mastery" of the kanji, since I had to be reminded how to write it via "cheating" using the stroke snapping.
Hence, I think this should be an additional optional final level where this happens,

View definitions/pronunciations at a glance easier; without needing to press "next"
It is a bit inconvenient to need to press the next button to see the other uses of a certain kanji, which increases the time taken to see what they are.
At the same time, there is a large space at the bottom that is not taken up by the kanji view, nor the definition list, so I thought instead of the definition list being shown horizontally, hidden away by the next/previous arrows, what if, the definitions are placed in cells that is vertically scrollable?
Excuse my terrible MSPaint drawing, but something like this:
Hopefully, this will make learning to

Custom New Kanji Count
Hello there! (Quick Context: You responded to my Google Play Review yesterday. I said;
To which you responded:
) The "Limit New Kanji Per Day" Option is very static in saying "Only learn 2 new Kanji every 0,5 days", which still doesn't necessarily align with the Learning Speed I may have. What I'm looking for is something more akin to the "Custom study" Feature for Anki Decks, which I use in tandem with Ringotan. In there it has the Option to choose how many Kanji to learn that Day. I like to go in certain Batches with the Heisig Book (making

"Wrap up session" option in three-dot menu
Adding an option to wrap up a session, i.e. emptying the queue of kanji not yet touched on within the session, leaving only those kanji in the session's queue I already started answering.
This is useful when you start a session, but get tired in the middle of it and still don't want to lose progress on those kanji you already started answering.

Add school grades to setup wizard
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
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
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
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.

Add support for the MaruMori API
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.
