Welcome to Kanji Blossom 3.0.0! This is a major release. Kanji Blossom has been rebuilt from the ground up to deliver a much faster, smoother, and more responsive learning experience on every device with support for more platforms in the near future.
A Refreshed Look and Feel
The app has been redesigned across all screens and improved handling across different screen sizes and devices.
Updated Vocabulary List
To enhance the experience, a lot of vocabulary has been removed. This decision was made because many items felt repetitive for users. Instead of focusing on the sheer amount of vocabulary, the list has been reduced to around 5,200 words. The core idea is to keep words that include as many previously learned kanji as possible, while also focusing on vocabulary that uses different readings. Each new kanji now unlocks rougly ~4 new vocabulary.
Completely Redesigned Practice Mode
The Practice section has been completely reimagined with "Personal Sessions" , "JLPT Exams" and "Minigames".
Updated JLPT Levels
Kanji are now categorized by the new standard JLPT levels (N5 to N1) as opposed to the old JLPT system (Level 4 to Level 1).
Enhanced Card Sorting
Brand new sorting options added directly to the Cards screen.
Looking Ahead
Rebuilding the core of the app ensures better stability and creates a solid foundation for future updates and new features. Expect more great features in the future.
