missing a bit a progress table this is only available in the vocabulary section, but for beginners like me it would be fun to have it for the letters as well.
A very handy tool to get what you need!

Could use a few small changes here and there just to make it even better than it already is (printing flash cards perhaps, scaleable window), IMHO, which I suggested to the developer as politely as I could - Totally unresponsive (not even a quick or automated reply) which kind of sucks, but there you go. Not an unusual situation with a lot of developers these days....

Flashcards with editable hints are perfect.
It would be perfect if it had a writing recognition system asking for the romanji and checking the ideogram (forgive my english), there is a video on youtube abaout an hombrew for nintendo DS, try searching "prog ds hiragana katakana".
but its no longer working for me - its not starting, not responding any longer..
Any idea what I can do?
working again!
