Great app! Living in Japan, I can't tell how many times it saved me, or so to say. And if you can couple it with the Kanji Recognizer from the same developer, you will even be able to look up entries by tracing kanji directly in the app!

I was looking for a 漢字 dictionary with Pinyin [and Korean] reading; and this is the one! Спасибо Николай!

How do I disable TTS? My phone memory is almost full, and I have no desire to download the Japanese TTS files. But every time I click on an entry, it tries to invoke TTS and then complains I don't have TTS on my phone. I'm fine with the kana for pronunciation; no need to hear the audio.
★★★★★
Nice app Very good app, one thing that is missing is the 'stroke order' option from the kanji screen. This option exists in 'Kanji Recognizer', but because of that I have to switch from one app to another to have the stroke order. Would be nice to have the stroke order button available in WWDC, if you purchased the premium version of Kanji Recognizer.
★★☆☆☆
It used to be amazing. However, I've installed the latest version on my new phone and the kanji recognition no longer works. It keeps prompting me to download the kanji recognizer app even though it's already installed. Without this feature working the app is basically useless to me.
★★☆☆☆
Bug 1: Kanji in 1x1 widget is not being centered vertically in landscape orientation (it is centered horizontally, however). Bug 2: When rotating from landscape into portrait and then back into landscape, the widget gets stuck on displaying "Loading..." Bug 3: Kanji in the widget is way too small, especially in landscape mode, it could use some bigger font size. Perhaps make the font size configurable? Will edit the review if things get fixed.
★★☆☆☆
Used to love this app when it worked. Now will not return searches no
matter how many times I search.
