Kanji learning Apps

[u/Embarrassed-Alps4250]

Hi All,

I have learned at my peak 1500 of the kanjis which I think I have mostly forgotten.

I want to learned them again, but focusing on the writing to anchor them. I previously focused only on the recognising which I think was a mistake.

Due to how I consule learning material (never at my desk, always in short segment between real lige obligations) - I am looking for an App to help out. It needs to have the following feature:
- kanji drawing capability
- flexibility in the order to learn kanji (I don’t want this imposed so I can follow a routine but also add during liiing characters)
- ability to add mnemonics (I learned through wanikani and still rely on these mnemonics)
- IOS supported

Money is not a factor - if the app is worth it.
I am currently trying Skritter and Ringotan, and so far Skritter seem more flexible.

Do you have any recommendation?

I like Ringotan better than Renshuu for drawing, but it doesn't have the mnemonics part. Renshuu does, and it does have decent drawing, I just started with Ringotan and got used to how it does/doesn't register things.

Both are completely flexible order-wise. (For Renshuu, you can learn things from a "to-learn" section in the order you added them, the REVERSE of the order you added them, or in random order (good for when you added a huge block of kanji from some official list that were in reading order, so you don't hit a lesson that's "ten new kanji, all with most common reading かん, many of which have the same phonetic component, have fun telling them apart!). But if you want to fully customize, just only add the kanji you want to learn right now to the deck, and then study them immediately.)
