  • Runs of 10 to 500 questions or one pass over the set, at three difficulty levels that decide how look alike the wrong answers are
  • Optional time trial, per question and for the whole run
  • Chart view of every character grouped by sound type and row, tap a tile to hear it
  • Score reports saved on disk and exportable as JSON, with charts of what you keep missing and one click to practice it again
