Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Use a spaced repetition system like an Anki for that (or Skritter, which has already been mentioned, if you also want to learn writing).
- I've memorized about 1200 characters with Skritter. I love the app, but I find that it makes me memorize the characters but not the pronunciation
- Yes it's very good for beginners and on the level of Skritter I'd say.
- You can continue to use skritter for terms you have "added and completed" even after your subscription ends. So that means if you add a bunch of kanji to a deck and then get them to a completed status, you can continue to review them as...
- Ringotan & Skritter.com provide utilities to help you memorize and also learn stroke order for kanji.
Cons
- I use the SRS option which I think retires cards quicker if you have multiple successful review, but the problem now is old words are not cycled in frequently enough for follow up reviews.
- But it seems like skritter can more accurately tell you if you're writing a kanji properly and not just stroke order? But it's a paid service.
- I've been looking at Skritter, but it's extremely expensive for me, and by trying the free version, I'm just not feeling into the overall experience and how it has too much loading.
- Or draw a few characters just for fun, e.g. with Skritter, TaoDay or even Pleco (since you have it installed already) - re-activating your muscle memory.

I've mostly done Heisig via Skritter. In online hanzi tests my score is currently around 4000 characters.
The method works best when combined with a flashcard app such as Skritter.
it wasn't like Skritter or Dong Chinese, which tests if your handwriting is correct.
I like the app Skritter for learning to write. It has free courses on stroke order and radicals, and with a paid subscription you can learn tons of vocab.
i'm currently making my own deck, but I'm also doing other stuff like studying through Skritter too
