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。

問題のご指摘ありがとうございます。 watchOS 6.2.6での手書き機能の不具合を確認の上、アップデートを行いますので少々お待ちください。
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!

Helpful
The example sentences are helpful to understand the vocabulary well.

Thank you for updating your review. Glad to hear that you're finding the app useful.
Apple Watchで全く使えない
Apple Watchでの使用目的でアドオンを購入しましたが、Apple Watchで検索すると検索中のまま進まなくなります。使用環境はiOS13.1とwatchOS6.0です。早期改善お願いします。

ご迷惑をお掛けして申し訳ございません。 不具合を修正しました。バージョン4.2.2をご確認ください。
2017 updates
The app looks very nice and modern, especially with the dark theme. Overall very nicely presented and professionally made. Now it would be fantastic if there was a SRS flashcard add-on.
Well made and very accurate app
I have had this app for years now and it has served me very well. I don't use the dictionary all that much, I'm more about the handy kanji writing dictionary- perfect for on the fly readings- no knowledge of radicals needed at all, just simply write the character out in the correct way and you'll get the apposite hit before you know it! This is what makes this app worth the price in my opinion- it's a cut above. Purchase it without any fears, it will most definitely serve you well, whether you have an advanced or rudimentary knowledge of Japanese and Kanji characters alike!

An excellent Kanji dictionary for learners of all levels
I’ve been using this app for a long time now and the latest release has improved an already great app enormously.
The user interface has been simplified at the same time as extending the functionality and they have gone a great job of making the iPhone and iPad interfaces feel consistent while still making use of the resolution available on each platform.
It’s easy to search for Kanji by multiple radicals and also using handwriting recognition, although it’s strict about the stroke order rather than effectively doing OCR of the final result, even though it has an OCR module for recognising individual characters using the camera. It has lots of compounds and examples as well as including things like verb conjugations. That makes it a great tool for Japanese learners of all levels.
I bought it such a long time ago that I’ve forgotten the cost of the app, but I remember it not being cheap, especially if you add in the in app purchases of the extra modules, but given the use I’ve had out of it over that time, it’s been well worth it. Highly recommended.

Great app
Hi this is a great app and I have used it for years but since the recent IOS 8 update I haven't been able to use it. It doesn't open. Please fix this soon please.
Thank you
Thank you
Not opening
Cannot open since updated to IOS 8.0.
Application Does not Work with iOS8
If you are running iOS8, I would strictly advice you not to spend money on this application. Currently (12/10/2014) it crushes on iOS8.
Rating on iOS8: very bad!!

になってから アプリが開けません アップデート お願いいたします
So useful
At first when I was still learning how to use this app I thought it was nothing big but once I figured it out I was so happy! Not having it is not an option since it helps me with my studies soooo much!
They updated iOS and now I have to wait for the app to update since I can't use it due to it crashing after I start it up... I hope it is updated soon!!!

Seriously lacking most basic instructions
This app provides no instructions whatsoever with regard to how to use it. There are symbols to tap on whose functions are completely unexplained. Very frustrating and annoying. Do not waste your money on this product. Choose an app whose creators at least care enough about their work and the consumer to provide adequate, user- friendly instructions.

金返せ！
手書きでの漢字認識能力が低すぎて使い物にならない。
これで2000円はハッキリ言って詐欺！
50%offで1000円だったが、
1000円でもあり得ない！！
インストールしてやった親父に文句言われるは
1000円で使えないアプリ買わされるは…
まだ無料アプリの方が10000倍使える！

Outstanding, but...
Great program that I highly recommend, but it has no instructions. So, I'm afraid it may take a while to figure out how to do everything. But once you figure it all out, you'll discover how powerful this wonderful program is.
An Essential Tool
As a freelance translator, I usually have digital files to work with. For cases when I need to translate from hard copy or PDF and can't just copy and paste, this app is a lifesaver for fast, accurate kanji and vocabulary lookup.
Thanks
This program is the best for my!!!
なかなか良さそう。
面白い。まだ十分使ってないが、良さそうである。ただ、「々」は出てこない？書き方が悪いせいか。また、「糀」を書くと、途中で正解が表示されるが、最後まで書くと正解が候補から外れてします。ちょっと不思議だ。これから、どんどん改良してより良いものに進化して欲しい。期待してます。
Response from developer
ご利用頂きありがとうございます。 新機能MyScriptアドオンの使用で、手書きキーボード上に「々」が表示されます。 「々」は記号扱いとなりますので、漢字検索はできません。 その他の問題点はすでに修正済みです。 今後共よろしくお願いいたします。
