Comments on Kanji Lookup for Android

★★★★☆ Malaki Hercules-walker · Mar 30, 2025

It's good at looking for kanji you can draw but a photo option would be great

★★★★★ Travis holmes · Apr 13, 2026

This app is just what I was looking for, to help me translate Kanji into phonics. I can use visual translators but not learn the in-between step for verbal communication.

★★★★★ Wathika Anjana · Apr 18, 2026

One of the greatest apps among mine, that revolutionized my Japanese learning. This app is a treasure trove!!! I use it so often to practice and search for new kanji!!! 改善 ⚡💯

★★★★★ corri-don · Jul 16, 2025

Great tool for looking up kanji! You have a drawing pad for writing, which helps when you don't know how to spell something using the regular keyboard.

★★★★★ Bagus Aryo Utomo · Feb 19, 2026

Really useful for looking up kanji instead pf searching by stroke or particle.

★☆☆☆☆ Mikaミカエル · Mar 30, 2026

Bad lookup. Failed. Even Google Translate is better

★☆☆☆☆ J D · Mar 21, 2025

You start drawing the kanji but then 5 seconds later the advert at the bottom loads, and it clears everything you've written - you have to start again. It does this every, single, time, you use the app. Annoying and unacceptable - get it fixed.
