Kanji Pop

Kanji Pop turns every phone unlock into a quick, game-like kanji learning session. It's a gamified micro-learning app that makes it easy to learn Japanese in the spare seconds you already spend checking your phone.

Answer a quick quiz, match kanji to meanings in Cross Match, and watch your streak grow — all powered by real spaced repetition (SRS), so you're always reviewing exactly what you're about to forget.

Kanji Pop is a language learning study app built around one idea: studying should fit into your day, not take over it.

CORE FEATURES
✓ Lock screen study — a bite-sized kanji rep appears every time you unlock your phone. Answer in seconds and get back to your day.
✓ Streaks & progress — build a daily streak, watch cards move from "In Review" to "Learned," and see your total mastered kanji climb.
✓ Cross Match mini-game — match kanji to meanings in a fast-paced matching game that mixes up your regular review.
✓ Spaced repetition (SRS) — an adaptive algorithm decides what to show you next based on how well you actually know it, so every rep counts.
✓ Full JLPT coverage — thousands of kanji and vocabulary entries spanning every level, from N5 fundamentals to N1 mastery.
✓ Reading drills that go deeper — beyond basic flashcards, quiz formats test meaning, on'yomi and kun'yomi kanji reading, in both directions.
✓ Built-in Japanese dictionary — look up any kanji or word instantly, with stroke counts, readings, and example sentences.
✓ Kana and vocabulary practice — hiragana and katakana readings shown throughout, plus themed Japanese vocabulary sets beyond the core JLPT list.
✓ Audio pronunciation — tap to hear kanji and vocabulary spoken aloud.
✓ 100% offline — Kanji Pop needs no internet connection to function. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, ever.

Every rep pulls from a real spaced repetition queue, not a randomized quiz, so each game helps you learn Japanese kanji and vocabulary in the order that actually builds retention.

JLPT LEVEL BREAKDOWN
• N5 & N4 — foundational kanji and vocabulary for beginners
• N3 — intermediate reading and vocabulary expansion
• N2 & N1 — advanced kanji, nuanced readings, and university- or test-prep-level vocabulary
