I used the reasoning feature, btw, even if it decided that a second was enough to answer.

It's been a while since I promoted my app, and I'm now quite proud of what it has become, so here goes:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pablovidal.kanji
To keep it short and simple, the app works as follows:
- A kanji section, which I'm working on to include all the jōyō kanji. It comes with a word that uses the kanji, an example sentence, and TTS audio for the sentence. So basically, you select the word you want to learn, and it moves to the Flashcards, Tests, and Games sections.
- The Flashcards section works like any other. It has a read mode, with the Japanese word on the front, and a write mode, with the English translation + the hiragana spelling of the word at the front, so you write it in kanji (using paper and pencil) before checking the answer.
- In the Tests and Games sections, you can practice the following:
- The Tests section has two difficulty modes:
- The Tests section includes 4 types of tests:
- There are 4 games so far. Two of them focus on matching a Japanese word to its hiragana reading, and 2 include matching them to their English translation along with the hiragana reading.
- Vocab section. This is a bit tricky, and I've often wondered if I should keep it or remove it. This section starts empty, and as you mark words as known or move them to the Flashcards section, it gets populated with other words that contain the kanji you know or are learning. So, if you are learning "人" and "一", you get "一人", "一つ", and so on in this section.
- No paywall. All content is free and can be accessed at once, no levels or any other way to limit what you can learn. No login either.
- Ads. The app displays non-invasive banner ads. There is one full-screen ad per completed flashcard session. So, if you have 20 flashcards to review and you only review 19, that's no ad for today. The Games section shows an ad every now and then after you finish a game. I think this amount of ads isn't annoying, but if anyone wants to turn them off or support the app, it's only 1€ / month.
