What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated August 14, 2026
Stroke order Tracing now teaches stroke order. Each character is asked for one stroke at a time, with the starting point and direction marked on screen. A stroke that goes the wrong way is rubbed out rather than left on the page, so what your child sees taking shape is always a correct character. All four sets are covered: 37 Zhuyin, 52 ABC letters, 46 hiragana, 46 katakana. Easier to see - Dark mode - Dynamic Type, so the app follows your system text size - Higher text and button contrast, readable in bright sunlight - VoiceOver and Reduce Motion support Easier to use - Answer buttons on iPhone, so grading no longer depends on a swipe - Vocab decks let you pick which cards to study, matching the character decks - A stray touch can no longer close a half-finished tracing - The sticker collection is now visible on the Progress tab instead of buried
