How do you make a Japanese dictionary app and not include calligraphic search capability? I have 2 other apps that both allow you to draw kanji to search, which is often times much quicker and easier than searching with SKIP/radicals. I looked for this feature for 10 minutes and I guess it doesn’t have it. I’ve heard this is a great app, but I would love to see this feature added and I would consider trying this app.

While using this dictionary as an abroad student, I’ve been able to get a lot of use from it to help my Japanese learning, however the app has some big glaring issues.

The kanji database and info is great, usually giving clear definitions, as well as added Chinese readings.

Main issue lies with fact that the definitions for non simple words are usually poor. Either a group of synonyms can have the same translation with no nuance, or the translations are too broad with sometimes 12 different meanings.
Moreover, the example sentences for words are near useless, with suspect Japanese translations, and sometimes fully incorrect English translations. They’re almost always overly complicated and hard to understand.
In summary, a good kanji app, that will sometimes help you understand a Japanese word’s English meaning.

I wish there was an option to make all the font in the app larger (like it was before the new update). I gotta put on my glasses to read the kanji now. Also, I'm not a fan of the new whole-screen window that pops up whenever I want to favorite something. The small drop down menu with all your favorites lists that appeared before was much better imo.
