The thought put into its design really shows: it works just as smoothly as iKana touch and iKanji touch, and surpasses them in its elegance. And as intended, it addresses very well what the other apps don't: the muscle memory of learning kanji and kana. The three apps complement each other very nicely, and together leave very little to be desired. I just wanted to say I’m immensely pleased with iKana Nōto so far.

I'm not currently planning any kind of sync with Google Reader. If Google ever releases an official API then it's something I might consider for the future.

A few people have reported it, I hope to have an update out soon to fix it. I’m currently investigating the issue with iKana with the missing text.

Updating it was a breeze I'm so happy I purchased it together with iKana. Oh btw, I'm experiencing a problem with iKana, with the vocab training. I have an image that should explain enough: http://i55.tinypic.com/25rdvo7.png It's bugging me, I really like the vocab training but this keeps me from using it regurlarly.

For new apps this isn't a problem but if you have an app that has hundreds or thousands of existing users you need some way of taking them across with you. Coupons currently only work on the US app store so that's not an option right now. Do developers have to keep two versions of the app going? One for the app store and one for their own store with their own serial number/registration schemes etc? If so that will be a major PITA.

It's important to maintain compatibility with iOS 3.x as well for those who haven't or can't upgrade. The next release will have updated graphics for the Retina display on iPhone 4 and the new iPod touches though. Possibly, I’m still looking into that.
