Finally! The only app that does this!
This app does something very special and (as far as I can tell) unique, in the App Store: it allows you to look up a character used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese, and then interpolates between their written forms and meanings to show you how the character is used differently or similarly across the four languages. This is useful for people who, for example, know Chinese and are learning Japanese, where characters have been borrowed over time and the meanings or written forms have diverged. Thank you for this very useful tool for multi-language learners, and thank you especially for including Cantonese! My only suggestion, perhaps as paid features, would be: 1) to add buttons next to each pronunciation to have the iPhone speak the word in each language, in order to practice speaking; 2) to allow users to choose fonts for displaying characters in each language, in order to practice writing.

Easy to use
Got recommended by a friend and I’m glad I’ve found this app! It is accurate and very easy to use. It links Chinese characters in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnam. English meaning is also provided. It’s simple and brilliant! Very handy and useful for learning Asian languages.

Beautiful Masterpiece ❤️
This app is really useful. The macOS/iOS dictionary cannot show search results in dictionaries from mainland China, Japan and Vietnam due to the abolish of traditional Chinese characters in these regions. This app really saves the time as I no longer need to go to Wiktionary every time I see something not in standard traditional Chinese characters. You accomplished the goal of 「書同文」. :) Is it okay to ask you to design a version of this app so the UI is in traditional Chinese? Thank you!

Fascinating, time saving, does everything it promises
This app is a lifesaver on time and clicking for trying to compare characters across the languages, especially useful app. Switching back and forth between the languages beautifully it is incredible to. To have to go to never hanja dict etcetc all separately to start any research. thank you!!!! My Korean vocab is improving, I’ve now developed a previously unknown interest in Vietnamese. I’m picking up kanji based Japanese words, I’m better understanding connections between the languages and culturally how they use(d) the characters.
