I also practice writing kanji. Certainly, it isn\u2019t necessary considering current technology; you\u2019ll probably only ever really need to be able to type the reading and select the correct kanji on your computer or phone. However, I personally feel that practicing writing helps me to recall kanji better.\u00a0I might be wrong about that, however.\u00a0I think if you want to practice writing, you should get out a sheet of paper and a pen.\u00a0I know that might not be convenient on the train or bus but that\u2019s the way I think you should do it. If you\u2019re not going to use a pen and paper you may as well just write the kanji on your palm with your finger or just \u201cwrite\u201d it in your head. That\u2019s what I do on the train sometimes.\u00a0I just really don\u2019t think that being able to write on the screen has any real value.\u00a0I might be wrong about that too. You might disagree with me. If so, you should find another application that lets you do that.\u00a0That functionality will never be in kanji Flow.<\/p>\n

Some people want to be able to see kanji stroke orders for the kanji on their cards. Again, that would require adding a database of stroke orders (or accessing such a database via a network connection) and, again, that feature is already just a couple of taps away in imiwa?\u00a0 I\u2019m probably never going to mirror features that are already available in imiwa? even though it might be slightly more convenient.\u00a0I really don\u2019t think it\u2019s so terribly inconvenient to just tap on the imiwa? link.\u00a0Imagine if there were no dictionary integration at all.\u00a0Then you\u2019d have to manually copy and paste (or actually type it yourself!!!) into your dictionary or Google.\u00a0I think what\u2019s available now is pretty good and I\u2019ll keep trying to improve the dictionary integration as much as possible.\u00a0But, I\u2019m not going to put such features directly into kanji Flow.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also received a lot of other requests.\u00a0A lot of those requests have been implemented into the app. Things like new sorting options or things that make stuff the app already does easier or less annoying are generally easy to implement and I\u2019m usually happy to do so.\u00a0Things that the app doesn\u2019t do at all probably aren\u2019t going to be implemented ever.\u00a0This is a flashcard application. If you\u2019ve got a great idea for something else then that\u2019s great and I appreciate you telling me about it but if that idea has nothing to do with kanji Flow then I really don\u2019t know what else to say other than, thanks for telling me about that.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got a great idea for an app but there doesn\u2019t seem to be anything already on the store that meets your needs, I highly recommend Apress\u2019s series<\/a> of books if you\u2019re interested in learning to program and making iPhone apps.<\/p>\n Happy Studies!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019d like to address some of the requests that I\u2019ve gotten.\u00a0I\u2019m going to talk about the two requests that I\u2019ve received the most and requests for additions in general. Some people want to be able to write on the screen and have the app check to see if you wrote the kanji correctly. I will … <\/p>\n
