FAQ

A few practical questions.

Designed for some or all of your Japanese study.
See how it fits your Japanese practice.

Is it like Anki?

In the good ways, but KanjiOS adds the Japanese layer around it: lookup, grammar, kanji, pitch accent, audio, sentences, and modern scheduling already built in.

Is KanjiOS only for kanji?

No. Kanji are a central piece, but they are not the whole language.
KanjiOS is built to assist your entire Japanese practice.

Can I use it as a dictionary?

Yes. Use it to look up words, kanji, grammar, or names.
Pitch accent, components, and Japanese descriptions are all included.

How do reviews work?

State-of-the-art FSRS combined with multiple study modes, native Japanese descriptions and more. You add items and they show up for review.
After 1,000+ reviews, weights optimize specifically for you.

Can I add my own material?

Yes. Add words, sentences, grammar, names, or things you find while reading. If it matters to your Japanese, it can become something you keep and review.

What if I already have progress somewhere else?

KanjiOS includes import paths for supported tools, and comprehensive ways of bulk adding and managing your study material.

Is there a free version?

Yes. All study modes, catalog, search, FSRS scheduling, and more are free.
KanjiOS Pro adds cloud sync, native audio, Manga Reader, and deeper features.
