]]> "put new kanji before review" option? Unsure if this is a bug, however I do not see this "put new kanji before review" anywhere in the app despite the play store page claiming it should exist.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it on a separate device yet I do not see this option there either.

# Edit: It was hidden until a daily new kanji limit is set. It would be helpful to either grey this option out or something similar so that it can be easily found.

]]> Custom definitions for kanji Any plans on letting users add their own definitions for kanji? Or re-arranging the order of definitions?

I thought it would be a good idea to learn kanji alongside new vocabulary, so I mostly use Custom Reviews for new kanji. For example, I recently learned 改札 (kaisatsu, or "ticket gate")

Issue is, the definitions for 改 don't have kaisatsu, and 札 has kaisatsu as the 2nd definition.

]]> Are there plans to make the app available in additional languages like German? Love the app, but it would be far easier to learn Kanji, when I could see the translations in my native language.

]]> Would you ever consider adding Chinese? There is tons of great open source data out already, like https://github.com/chanind/hanzi-writer?tab=readme-ov-file and https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi and given you already have Ringotan put together, I wonder if feeding this data in wouldn’t be fairly trivial. I can ALMOST replicate Ringotan-like function using this tool https://github.com/krmanik/Anki-xiehanzi to pull from those resources into an Anki deck, but by default they're teaching hanzi by having you draw over the outlines instead of testing you on hanzi like Ringotan does with kanji. I spent a few hours trying to duct tape my way into a solitution, to mixed results. But even if I managed to get[_cuted_]

I spent a few hours trying to duct tape my way into a solitution, to mixed results. But even if I managed to get it working perfectly, I like the algorithm in Ringotan more than anything else I’ve tried and considering the main tool that's already put together for this (Skritter) is a ridiculous $15 a month or almost $200 a year on subscription, I would be very happy to pay something to see this done. 

]]> A way to see "additional kanji" not present in the current learning mode? I want to keep my settings to give me new kanji as soon as I burn them in WaniKani, but I'm also adding kanji in myself and these often aren't in the WK set. I have to go to settings, change the mode, review the kanji, go back to srttings, and swap it back to WK mode again. Shouldn't it be possible to find all the kanji in the app no matter which mode you're in? And just in case: you do continue reviewing kanji that aren't in the learning mode you're currently in, right?

]]> Definition at top 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.

]]> Is there a way to get a list of the kanji that are at the different stats levels? I'd like to take the kanji that I know pretty well, and update the list of kanji in Satori Reader, so that it displays kanji according to my knowledge. Even being able to copy the kanji by level would be a help. Thanks!

]]> Any chance of considering changing the apple graphic on the main page? I was hoping to find an address to e-mail the team at to ask this so I hope this doesn't feel too mean-spirited to say publicly. I've enjoyed using this app so far, it's an incredibly useful tool, but the apple on the main page unsettles me greatly. While I don't doubt love was put into its design, something about it's small pupils and wide-set smile give the impression it wishes to do me harm (as I'm typing this I have the app open to my side and I've just seen it switch to its angry expression for the first[_cuted_]

That said I am an artist and was looking to offer to work with the team to design a more approachable character. Please let me know if there is any interest and if there's a way I can contact you to discuss further!

]]> Missing Katakana Kanji for ヲ in the custom review page. Hi,

i have been using ringotan as a drill app and to learn kanji at my own pace using the custom review. 

Noticed that there is 1 missing kanji in the Katakana section.

My lesson plan is JLPT.

Possible to get a fix for this?

]]> Custom Review - Search All Is there some way to search across all the Kanji supported by Ringotan? I'm trying to find the 旧字体 version of 亀 (龜) which is listed on KanjiVG but I can't seem to find in any of the lesson sources (including JLPT and Kanken)

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)?
