What’s new

New: multiple-choice reviews.

Some reviews now show a kanji and ask you to pick its key phrase from four options. The wrong options come only from kanji you've already studied, often ones that share parts with it or mean something close. Stuck? Tap 50 / 50 to remove two wrong answers.

New kanji stay as writing exercises. You can turn multiple choice off in Settings, or pick Writing or Multiple choice for a Custom Study session.

Stats now split your results by review type.
