About this app
Developer Description
Handwritten Kanji search - simple, fast, and hassle-free!
This App is not a dictionary or an exhaustive Kanji reference - and nor does it strive to be! Instead, it focusses on - and attempts to excel at - one thing: Finding the meaning of an unknown Kanji character as quickly and easily as possible using the only way that really makes sense on a touch-enable device: by drawing it.
Stop wasting your time counting strokes, deciphering radicals, or learning the intricacies of 'well-designed' lookup schemes - simply start drawing the character and watch results appear instantaneously.
KanjiLookup does not clutter your results with obscure readings only found in the name of that one mountain village or cross-references to paper dictionaries you most likely don't own anyway. Instead, it simply shows you what you are looking for: The character's pronunciation and definition. In addition, a searchable list of the most relevant words containing the Kanji character is only a tap away.
Of course you can also search using the keyboard.
KanjiLookup was designed from the ground up for minimal start-up time, nearly instantaneous handwriting recognition, and a clean interface that doesn't get in your way. It currently contains information for over 3500 Kanji, including but not limited to all the Joyo and Jinmeiyo characters.

The character recognition and character usage examples are both excellent. The only thing I regret about this app is that it doesn't show the JLPT ranking of each character. Otherwise, it's the perfect study tool !

overall does a great job. not perfect but 9/10 works the way I want to. also sometimes it seems like it erases my word in the middle of writing something but it's just a graphical glitchy. luckily there is a handy undo button and the last stroke it gone but the rest stays. it's a bit annoying but I learned to live with it

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.
