I am a great fan of Speed Anki (standard Anki is way too composite for me), so I love the pure design and simple functions. I think it's perfect even if you only have three minutes to review some kanji, you don't need to bother understanding the mechanism and the learn handling of functions as in the case of the big brother. However, I would also like to propose an idea: This new font for the Kanji you are currently using, is definitely not Mincho. Although this might also look nice, unfortunately the Kanji strokes do differ to a certain extent, which may tend to confuse those who are not aware enough. Let us have a glance of the example of SONAERU. I was using the kana side to train writing the kanji, but when I flipped it over, it turned out to be rather different from the Mincho type (which is undoubtedly the most commonly used typeface throughout the world). I therefore would like to advise the authors to compare the kanji for SONAERU (in this case) displayed in this new font you are currently using, and an MS Mincho (or other commonly widespread) font. Please notice that the difference may potentially expose foreign students of Japanese to an excessive amount of confusion! Please consider, that not knowing that the two slightly different ways of writing (here sonaeru, but numerous other characters also exhibit this kind of deviation) belong to the same entry may prove to be a deadly source of consistent errors. I am - of course - most interested in any kind of counterarguments regarding this issue. Please honour me with your kind opinion. I send my best regards to the developers/authors/owners of speedanki. Keep up good work; you are saving thousands of students a lot of time in learning kanji. We are utterly thankful to you for this. Feri, Hungary P.S.: If Péter happens to be Hungarian, (by the writing of his Name), give him my regards! Even if he's not. :) Hi There!

Loving the simple interface and working through well over 150 words / day. I don't know how useful this would be for other people, but living in Japan, I spend a lot of time on the train without a laptop. Of course, I could use my phone to get online, but SpeedAnki doesn't display correctly. So for the intrepid programmers, I ask: could you make a cell phone resolution interface? I know there are some sites which load separate phone interfaces when accessed by cell phone, so it can't be impossible. Just a thought. Thanks for reading. Awesome job regardless.

Am I alone here in this? just curious I recently took a look at the example sentences on some of the cards I am studying, but much to my chagrin I am having to look up most of the kanji in order to understand the sentence.

By tone, do you just mean stress (emphasis/accent)? For example HAshi (bridge) vs. haSHI (chopsticks). Or do you mean something else. I am aware of the "stress"/cadence for lack of a better word, but if you meant something else, I want to know. Yoroshikuonegaishimasu. ryohei – you say Japanese is a tonal language.
