2020-09-27	Za*****	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.

2017-09-22	Pf*****	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!

2014-09-19	Mi*****	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!!!

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.

2013-12-09	Ri*****	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.

2013-06-04	Re*****	Easily worth $20 if you're not a complete noob at kanji and can draw the radicals with the proper stroke order. If you are a complete noob, I recommend Skritter. I only wish it were easier to look up words formed from multiple kanji more easily. Thankfully at least you can copy+paste individual kanji into Denshi Jisho. Slow, but it works. I also wish there were a "by Radical" function like Denshi Jisho, but without having to search for the radicals visually. Then it would be 5 stars.

2013-04-11	ta*****	This is a great app for finding kanji and the dictionary aspect is great as well. My only wish is that it had a deeper bank of ancient japanese kanji.

2013-04-11	ka*****	Sadly, this app only recognizes kanji if its written in perfect stroke order and with really neat writing. For twenty bucks? What did I just buy? I'm assuming most people who use the app are just learning Japanese, so probably don't know perfect stroke order! Also the app layout is difficult to navigate to see kanji meaning in hiragana. Please make an update to make kanji more recognizable based on the end product rather than stroke order...otherwise I sadly just wasted my money and want a refund!

2011-12-25	Br*****	Needs voice recognition so a person could say a word and it's kanji is looked up, kind of like google voice search.
