It is very helpful and easy to use.
Jishop advanced
Your 字書p Advanced is great. (And a great pun too.) Just the right thing for someone who was used to using Nelson. :-)
Good in theory, but not in execution.
Although the app is functional, at least on a base level, it is prone to frequent crashes, particularly when attempting to illustrate Kanji characters. Unfortunately, I must say that this needs more development before I am willing to buy the full version.

手入力で漢字の検索ができると書いていたので購入してみたが、あまり認識しない。
If you want to understand Kanji...
Then use this app.
At first I could not utilize it to its full potential, but after I figured out how to use the features, I began using it more than ever.
Good News:
You can create your own flash cards, decide what you want to practice (kanji recognition, etc), and find the meanings for the radicals with just a click of a button. Once I figured that out I just about did a happy dance. You can also import ready made flash card sets. Awesome.
Bad News:
I wouldn't use this app exclusively as my kanji/word dictionary. There are good online resources you can use to double check a meaning or find other ways a kanji can be broken into radicals. This app also doesn't provide sentence examples, which is a great boon when learning a new word.
The way this app is designed isn't as user friendly as I would want it to be, but I put up with it--it's free anyway.

I love it to pieces...
...because it takes kanji to pieces, and that's the easiest way for me to learn them. I upgraded to the full version, and wasn't sorry-it's a fantastic learning tool. I especially like the fact that I can save kanji into custom lists and review them at my leisure.
Fast radical searches if you are a visual learner.
very useful app for a quick Kanji search based on the pictograph. There is a useful feature For storing favourite Kanji in different lists for review later. However, the app is not that intuitive to use . On the 5th use of the app I discovered that you can actually scroll thru the list of radicals, but there is no on -screen indicator to tell you can do this. you are limited to about 5000 Kanji but for most Nihongo learners that will be more than enough to start With. For now, it has replaced my hardcopy dictionary containing 50,000 Kanji as it is much easier to do a Kanji compound search on it than with a dictionary. Great little app, but needs some interface clean-up. When I learn enugh words,i am upgrading to the paid versions. Keep as, the good work developers!

Simply Amazing!
For a lite version of an app it offers a lot! I use it everyday in my Japanese to find accurate translations and such. Keep up the good work!
