There are several advantages over PC/Mac flashcard programs: * Because it focuses on the kanji, the interface can be simplified and there is no time wasted learning yet another PC program. * Although there are many flashcard applications implementing the Leitner system, it is hard to find pre-defined flashcard sets for James Heisig's keywords. * Because it is web-based, it is possible to create a sense of community through the members list, a forum, and other features to come.
