Great but bugs in audio

Audio playback is getting cut off; only the end of a word or sentence is heard.

I have purchased the Enhanced Audio add-on.

I think the free iOS system voices for Japanese text to speech sound better. Can we have an option to just use those instead?

Will update review after this bug is fixed.

安定しない

職場がスマホ持ち込み禁止なのでアップルウォッチで漢字を検索するためにこのアプリを購入しました。上手く動けば大変満足なのですが、しょっちゅう検索しなくなり、アドオンの復元をもとめられます。
iOS13.5.1、watchOS6.2.6で、最新の状態です。

Excellent

I’ve used several dictionary apps, and this one is hands down the most comprehensive for kanji lookup. When drawing, you do usually need to use correct stroke order, but I think this is not a major issue for serious students as proper order reinforces learning. The add ons are very beneficial, and well designed, like the handwriting input has a nice hand-drawn feel, flash cards are uniquely presented, and examples are rather good and often fresh. The developer is very caring about the app and is responsive. This app is one of my key learning tools. Absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended!
