I love this app and have been using it for several months without issues. However, that was until the latest update. Ever since i last updated it, the kanji drawing function doesn't work at all anymore. When I open the drawing tab, all i see is a gray screen with no buttons or anything. edit: this has been fixed. Thank you!

Hello flash9387! I am sorry to hear that you are also affected by this bug! Please be patient just a bit longer as a fix is already in testing and should be available on the playstore soon! You can also reach out to me at daapplab@gmail.com and I will give you access to the test version. Edit: try updating to 3.1.1

a wonderfully fantastic tool for identifying and learning kanji on the fly. I can see something totally new and not know the stroke order and still figure it out. I know it isnt the focus of the app but I wish it had an in-app dictionary. instead I have to rely on another dictionary app. that's my only detractor but it's not enough to say this isnt a godsend for learning.

Hey Benjamin, thank you for this awesome review, it really keeps us motivated. Stay tuned, because maybe we are working right now on a dictionary and will release it later this year. If you are interested you can follow the development closely on discord.

I am currently studying in Japan and I thought I knew Japanese, but then I downloaded the app and I realized I don't know anything about anything. I'm glad I found the app, so I can finally improve my language skills. After trying it out, I'm sure it will be useful for my studies and writing my academic papers.
