Long time CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) language learner here..

I'm wondering, you say it's the app you always wanted but couldn't find, but I'm sure if you looked during your Jpns studies you MUST have heard of Skritter (http://www.skritter.com/) before? They have what I would say is the best app for learning to write Hanzi or Kanji.. curious how would you say your app compares with them?

I will be checking out your app either way, great to have more options!

Actually, I started studying Japanese some 10 years ago or so (time sure flies...), and I don't think Skritter was around then. And actually, I didn't find them when I was looking around lately. My app tries to be as close as possible to real handwriting on paper, so you get nothing more than a blank space to write. For me, it needs to be touchscreen based instead of mouse, but maybe you could get a similar feel with Skritter on a tablet?
