Greetings all, hope you all had a good holiday season and new year. Annoyingly I've been ill over most of Christmas which has set back my work on iKanji touch and iKana 2 significantly. I'm also going on holiday to Japan in a weeks time which means most of this month won't be very productive work-wise. I'm working hard to get these apps done but these delays do mean I've missed my planned release dates. I hope I can release both apps during February now. Please be a patient a little longer!

Once both iKanji touch and iKana 2 are out I'll do a final push and get InstantGallery 2 out which I know is horribly late at this point. The Japanese language apps have been so successful it's been hard to justify spending a lot of time on InstantGallery, but I'm getting to the point where I'm happy with the state of iKana and iKanji so I can work on some other apps soon.

I eagerly await for Instagllery 2.
The first version is good, but what you have shown for 2 is awesome.

Hi Rory,

just want to know if Ikanji touch will support a "per grade" selection and not only a "per JPLT level" selection.

Thanks,
Yannick

Yannick yes it will let you browse & test by grade too.

Now in the AppStore: Kaji LS Touch by Jan Bogner... It is like will be your application (iKanji Touch)?

Or maybe it's a "clone"?

Anyways I'll wait for iKanji Touch. I hope it'll be released soon.!

EyKauS, iKanji touch is much more sophisticated than the application you mentioned. I hope to have it out next month.

Having started learning Japanese this January, iKana Touch was a real help for the first few weeks. Mai nichi densha de takusan kana o benkyoushimashita! But things have moved on... and now trying to cram the 80th Kanji and its readings into my head, I'm really wishing for iKanji Touch, as are my classmates! Please, please tell us it's coming soon :)

It won't be too much longer Will, getting the spaced repetition bit right is taking a little while to get right.
