Classical Hiragana App

Ever see a Japanese sign written in classical hiragana and feel frustrated that you can't read it? Well, there's an app for that. A professor at UCLA and his team have developed an app on Adroid and iOS to help learners read classic hiragana characters. Keep in mind that each modern hiragana has about six or seven classic variations, which means the app had to include 137 variations to memorize. I've already downloaded and am getting started.
