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 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.

]]> Questions about non-WK kanji, 'common' 表外漢字, etc. 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[_cuted_]

My second question is, what does the current schedule look like (if any) for expanding the kanji included in Ringotan? :) I just came across 朦朧, and JPDB says the word is inside 10K word frequency with the kanji inside the top 2500 and 2100 respectively, but I can't find either in Ringotan. And IIRC the "most common" list in Ringotan passes 2500! Is there a reason some kanji in the 2k-3k bracket are overlooked, or is it just that takes time to expand the list? (I know the number of rare kanji goes on practically forever so you have to put a cut-off point somewhere. My personal goal is to feel fluent with words up to about 30K frequency because I find this is the level you have to reach for advanced writing and literary fiction to feel comfortable across a range of subjects, so I'd like to be handwriting any kanji that appear in words up to about 30k freq.)

]]> Hard to find kanjis for "custom reviews" 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:

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 create our own list of kanjis in text file (or from a string of kanjis) and to import them directly into ringotan ? That would be great... Right now, i'm just adding kanjis one by one from Jalup Kanji Kingdom to my Ringotan kanji "custom review" and it's not very effective...
