About Kana Practice
Kana Practice is an application designed to help you memorize how to read and write the Japanese Hiragana and Katakana alphabets.
The writing portion has a unique stroke checker that will check your stroke order and positioning and pass/fail you based on how close you were to the original strokes. All Kana come compete with full stroke order animations.
Kana Practice also uses the Leitner-SRS card based repetition system that makes sure you play the cards you get stuck on more frequently. This maximizes your learning time and efficiency.
Note:
Please, please, please. If you are having issues, contact support@rakudasoft.com and we will work with you to address them. With so many versions of iOS and devices now, there it's impossible to test on them all, but we are dedicated to fixing any issues quickly. Thank you.

NOTICE: We've been made aware of a compatibility issue with iOS 6.1 We will fix this ASAP, please bear with us.
Updated UI to bring it in line with Japanese My Way and Kanji Renshuu, which includes...
Improved main menu.
Side-by-side stroke animation to show your mistake after failed attempt.
Allow retry after seeing side-by-side animation after failed attempt.
Cleaner color scheme.
Progress report for your current selection and game indicating % complete.
Pick by section instead of individual card for improved simplicity.
Sync progress to cloud for synchronization across devices.
Two apologies to make...
1. We had to discontinue support for devices prior to iOS 5.1.
2. We changed the way progress is tracked (for the better), but it means existing progress will be lost. The long term benefits of cloud synchronization across devices outweighs this though, we feel.
