Ratings and reviews

No pitch accents as shown in thumbnails.

I really love this app! But for some reason the play button right next to the search button doesn't work on my device. I tried it in other friends' devices and it worked :/ Besides, my kanji dictionary is broken for a while by now... Any kanji I draw, even a simple 一, yields "An error occurred. Please try again" when I tap on it. But setbacks apart, I really love and recommend this app to everyone! (y)

this app is ＧＲＥＡＴ！LOVE IT!
