Hi, I got an Apple Pencil for my iPad, and was wondering if there are good apps out there to learn stroke order etc of Kanji? Ideally with WaniKani integration, so that I’m only asked for Kanji that I know already? Thanks! Michael ---

I tried Skritter a few years ago and liked it on Android. They had a few hundred kanji for free, and it was subscription beyond that. I haven’t used it on iPad, but I know it’s available. I did notice this review on Skritter’s site, though: > [@](#): > > I use Skritter and WaniKani for vocabulary and kanji study. They compliment each other perfectly if your goal is to be able to actually write Japanese. Honestly, it helps so much with memorization too. I almost never get any characters confused that look alike because I’m able to differentiate at a “radical” level and wrote memorization comes into play. > > Having said that, I use Skritter for vocab only since learning just the kanji characters isn’t necessary because of the vocab practice. I keep both WaniKani and Skritter “levels” synched so if I learn 5 words in WaniKani, then I learn the same ones in Skritter the same day. I try and learn 10 vocab a day in WK and then all of the kanji/radicals immediately so it ends up being more than 10 in WK sometimes but never more than 10 in Skritter(remember only vocab for Skritter). It just becomes too overwhelming for me in Skritter if more than 10 is done(gotta get grammar in there too). I’m not trying to break records for fastest completion speed. I expect I’ll be done with WK in roughly two years. Then I’ll move on to something else likely and Skritter will be apart of it. ---

If you do try it, I’d be curious to hear back what you think, good and bad. I think the app was relatively new when I tried it out years ago, and I wonder how much it has changed/progressed. ---

If you’re looking for a free option, I used KameSame to practice writing kanji for a while. Though it doesn’t have a dedicated feature for it, the iPad comes with scribble support for Japanese, so when you write kanji it’ll automatically input it. I used a dictionary app to learn the stroke order during the lessons, then wrote them into KameSame as the reviews came up. Not a perfect system, but helped solidify a lot of kanji knowledge for me. ---

It’s not an app but I use [https://www.kakimashou.com/](https://www.kakimashou.com/) for this ---
