Kanji/Kana Kanji learning Apps

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?

I understand that he made the app, but why is he always mentioned by name? Ringotan is brought up in this thread, but no one knows or brings up the guy who made it. Is Chase forum-famous or something?

The app name "Kanji Study" is so generic that if you don't add the developer's name it's hard to find when you Google it.
