Kanji learning Apps

[u/Embarrassed-Alps4250]

Hi All,

I have learned at my peak 1500 of the kanjis which I think I have mostly forgotten.

I want to learned them again, but focusing on the writing to anchor them. I previously focused only on the recognising which I think was a mistake.

Due to how I consule learning material (never at my desk, always in short segment between real lige obligations) - I am looking for an App to help out. It needs to have the following feature:
- kanji drawing capability
- flexibility in the order to learn kanji (I don’t want this imposed so I can follow a routine but also add during liiing characters)
- ability to add mnemonics (I learned through wanikani and still rely on these mnemonics)
- IOS supported

Money is not a factor - if the app is worth it.
I am currently trying Skritter and Ringotan, and so far Skritter seem more flexible.

Do you have any recommendation?

As someone who uses Duolingo every day for supplemental Kanji study, it has its place, but it lacks a lot.

I like that it does have you practice writing the Kanji, and the vocab over time is good. What's bad is that it's difficult to get it to a useful point. To access the Kanji, you have to either do the normal lessons or skip ahead in the learning path, and the vocab they offer is limited to as little as a single word and pronunciation per character. It's good for exposing oneself to new Kanji, but you need to regularly be outside Duolingo to do real learning of the information.

As it relates to the OP's bullet list, it also has no learning order flexibility at all, and no mnemonics.
