### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-02-22*

Does not work, at all...it thinks a simple 3 lined kanji character, is a complicated 7-8 lined kanji character....not only that, but the translations are a garbled mess that makes zero sense.  I tried to use it on a few, simple kanji characters, and it gave me random words, and dashes, as an answer, that filled up a large page.....Inaccurate, and just doesn't work.
