    Find better way to introduce learning stages?

    BlueRaja · 1 · Last reply by Gamergod

    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)?

    Definition at top

    Jim · 6 · Last reply by Jim

    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.

    What happens if you switch lessons mid-lesson?

    BlueRaja · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    If you switch to another lesson which doesn't include kanji that you're currently in the middle of learning, what happens? I'd guess it crashes?

    Are there some Kanji missing?

    Katumana · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    I found the word 羨ましい but didn't found that kanji in Ringotan. Are there some kanji left out on purpose or slipped this kanji just through?

    Questions about non-WK kanji, 'common' 表外漢字, etc.

    Aedon Cassiel · 2 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    I've finished all the WK kanji in Ringotan and I've found that hitting Ringotan on "frequent review" accelerates my learning so much that I really want to do it with every new non-Jinmeiyou kanji I find in the wild. My first question is, is one of the filter options when selecting what list you want to study kanji from comprehensive, i.e. includes everything that's inside of Ringotan? Because I keep finding myself having to jump from list to list to find different kanji I come across. (a) Is one comprehensive; (b) if not could we get that :); (c) if

    Hard to find kanjis for "custom reviews"

    Jacques · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Hi!

    I'm studying kanjis with Jalup Kanji Kingdom and i have a hard time to find some kanjis. I'm quite sure ringotan has those kanjis in the app but i don't know how to add them to my "custom study" list. Here are some troublesome ones:

    仇 弛 庇 屁 汲

    Best, Jacques

    PS: Would it be possible to search a Kanji directly (by typing it) instead of looking it up in a list? While looking at other topics, i've seen that "Search (or "add using keyboard") in custom reviews" has been created though... PS-2: Would it be possibe to

    Is there any way to restart reviewing once the review screen has been left (not custom reviews, normal reviews)?

    Regarding the problem with the iOS release

    airblaster · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    In another thread you wrote there are problems with releasing the current version on iOS.

    What kind of problem is this? A technical one or something with the Apple release process?

    If it is a technical one I might be able to help you by searching the net for related solutions if you post the stacktrace or similar information (this kind of thing is party of my daily work, though my main language by now is Python).

    Is it or will it be possible to reduce or cap the number of reviews per day?

    Mike · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Thank you for this app, I find it a really nice complement to my Kanji learning routine :) Anki allows to cap daily reviews, are there any plans to allow ringotan to do the same?

    Is there a way to deactivate the question mark symbols on word examples?

    Fetgit · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    I also use Ringotan because it helps me remember the words that each kanji uses, but I would like that it shows me the whole word with all the kanji instead of the "?" symbol that happens with some words. Any way to deactivate that function or any similar solution?

    Custom Review - Search All

    kaizokunokazoku · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    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)

    PS: Absolutely loving Ringotan, thank you so much for making this!

    Missing Katakana Kanji for ヲ in the custom review page.

    Ed · 2 · Last reply by Ed

    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?

    Any chance of considering changing the apple graphic on the main page?

    Si · 1 · Last reply by kaizokunokazoku

    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

    Is there a way to get a list of the kanji that are at the different stats levels?

    Kevin Mitchell · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    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!

    A way to see "additional kanji" not present in the current learning mode?

    Aedon Cassiel · 0 · Posted

    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?
