### 1/5 — 性能が悪い

*2024-08-09, version 2.5.0*

読み取れない漢字が多い
自動更新でやめ方が分からない
簡単には削除できません
非常に悪い

### 2/5 — 直して欲しいところがあります

*2021-10-14, version 2.5.0*

みんなのスマホアルバムの写真からでも漢字を読み取れるように改良ぜひお願いします
なぜなら僕は頭が悪いので漢字が読めなくて困っているのでガチでやって欲しいなと僕は思ってその方が御社も伸びると思ったのでお願いします土下座🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-06-26*

This app is good for when I need to look something up but when you scan a word it never picks it up and is not very accurate.

### 3/5 — 読み込めない漢字がある。

*2019-09-01, version 2.1.0*

「諡号」など細かい文字の認識精度が甘い。
またスキャンの窓の上に広告が表示され、窓の大きさを変更するときに広告に触れて、広告のサイトに移動させられる。
非常に不愉快。
良いアプリだけに非常にもったいない。

### 5/5 — simple & very easy to use!

*2019-06-17, version 2.1.0*

Whilst the layout and buttons of the app could be alittle more bigger so it’s easier to use, the scanned kanji is accurately displayed, and even when the app does not show the meaning of the Kanji, you can look it up on the internet. It displays both Japanese and English translation. Great app!

### 5/5 — 範囲指定できない

*2019-03-18, version 2.0.0*

カメラで文字を読み取る際、枠の大きさを変えられないために枠中に前後の不要な文字が含まれてしまったり、長い文字を入れようとすると別の行や列の文字が入り込んでしまったりする。
子どもの読書の供に使わせたいが、今のままでは難しい。
範囲指定ができればとても便利だと思うので、ぜひ機能追加を希望します。 

（20190318 追記です）
ご対応いただけて嬉しいです。便利で感激です。子どもに使わせようと思います。ありがとうございます！

### 4/5 — とても便利

*2019-02-19, version 2.0.0*

難しい本などを読む時に重宝しています。調べるにも読み方がわからない時にオススメ。スキャンなので執筆式検索より早い。精度もたまに出ないだけで問題ない。某翻訳サービスよりも手軽なので重宝しています、ありがとうございます

### 5/5 — Great application for learning kanji

*2018-06-05, version 1.2.0*

Thank you for this useful application which really help for my Japanese exam studying.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-05-30*

It will scan and recognise kanji.  But then always, always say it does not know what the Kanji is.

I laboriously cut and paste the Kanji into another app to find what it means.

I suggest reworking the app to make it just a scanner, with an easy to use copy button.  Forget all the other functionality it simply doesn’t work.
