Thanks for the app! One suggestion: WWWJDIC app has a kanji of the day widget that shows from a random kanji or the next kanji in a chosen level or list of kanji. if you click it, it brings up all the entry page and all the info. I think this app would do that feature better than wwwjdic, and it would be great to see a kanji on the homescreen with a word or so on its meaning everyday I use the phone.

Mostly good, definitely helps me learning kanji, but I noticed a weird thing with the kanji of 造. The practice for writing it displays 10 strokes to make but the limit is set to 9 making it impossible to finish. Other than that, a very great app! Just a weird bump in an otherwise very smooth road.

It's a nice app, the one thing it's missing though is a short list of 4-5 common words that use each kanji. It has a huge amount of detail on the page for each kanji, but doesn't have this. I find it odd because learning a word that uses a particular kanji is easily one of the best ways to remember them. Ultimately I used a different app instead for this reason.
