Ratings and reviews

There is something wrong with the component search. It won't add up the characters I highlight. Immediately I try to highlight more than one, the previous one becomes unhighlighted and it doesn't form a new character. This happens with whichever ones I put together.

It is really a good App and I LOVE it😍😍😍But I think there are certain things which could be improved. I like "jsho" (The Japanese Dictionary of this same creator) more because it has an extra feature of "search by common words". So I think if similar feature is added to this App too, it will surely be the BEST of the best. Hope that the creators will do it in the next version. We are desperately waiting for it. Please SIR, add this really useful feature in your next version🙏🙏🙏

Excellent. Extensive coverage of characters and words. Very handy for quick reference.
