Thanks everyone for downloading Japanese Hiragana! In this update, we've tidied up the Write screen so every tool is right where your thumb expects it. Write Tools in One Row: The brush, the eraser, the show and hide guide button and the stroke order button now sit together in one centered row, just above the practice square. Before, the stroke order button lived in the corner of the paper, a little like a sticker on your homework. Now the paper is all yours for tracing, and the kana and its romaji have the top of the screen to themselves. On a locked kana, the four buttons stay in place, dimmed, so nothing jumps around. Your feedback helps us improve your experience through ongoing updates. Let us know what you think of this update by writing a review in the App Store. Thank you for your feedback and support.
