I built a Kanji app that teaches through reading instead of memorizing

 

After learning Japanese for years, I realized something.

Most Kanji apps make you memorize isolated characters.

But when you actually read Japanese, you don't see single Kanji—you read words, sentences, and stories.

So I built Kanji360.

Instead of endless flashcards, the app helps you learn Kanji naturally through reading and repetition.

✨ What's inside?

📖 250+ graded reading stories

  • Learn Kanji in real context
  • Furigana toggle
  • Suitable from JLPT N5 to N1

🎧 Shadowing Practice

  • Listen to native audio
  • Repeat aloud
  • Record your own voice
  • Improve both pronunciation and Kanji recognition

✍️ Animated stroke order

  • Every Kanji includes stroke animation
  • Learn how each character is actually written

🧠 Spaced Repetition

  • Review only what you forget
  • Build long-term memory

🎮 Interactive practice

  • Flash Cards
  • Word Builder
  • Sentence Scramble
  • Reading Match
  • Mnemonic Quiz

🌏 11 interface languages

Everything works together to make Kanji feel much less overwhelming.

My goal wasn't to build another flashcard app.

I wanted an app that helps people read Japanese, because that's how Kanji finally started making sense to me.

I'd genuinely love any feedback from learners.
