Version 2.2.2 Released

  • Added over 12,000 of the most common Japanese words to the example database

I tried to come up with a script that would pick out up to 8 of the most common words for each kanji. This includes verbs and adjectives so you won’t just be getting 熟語 (jukugo) for everything:

  • The app will now automatically display example words for over 2800 kanji characters and example sentences for almost 100,000 words during Study sessions

If you don’t want auto-examples you can turn them off in the Settings app under the AUTO EXAMPLES heading:

You might want to turn off the Kanji – Example Words setting if you have Reading lessons with single-kanji words. I’m going to disable displaying examples for single-kanji words in Reading lessons in the next version.

  • Added Study session smoothing to help prevent a large number of cards from suddenly being due for review on a single day

You can turn this off in the settings app as well:

  • Study sessions will now automatically restart if the app is forced to close while in the background during a study session
  • New examples will now appear first in the list

These are just some minor quality of life changes.

  • Fixed new card sorting on the Edit view
  • Fixed new card selection for Study sessions

My tweaks in the last version actually kind of broke things. Should be right now.
