Hard to beat for the low price of 'free'. A few comments for first time users: - The interface can take a little getting used to, tapping can be a bit finicky - It requires internet access each time it needs to download something, not just once - Once the data is downloaded, it is truly an offline experience Many thanks to the developer for putting this out!!

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.

Probably the best app for the Japanese dictionary with lots of features. Thank you so much for this app. Also I would like to suggest implementing bookmarking the words (star icon on words, basically the same as adding into lists but a bit faster) + information whether a word is already bookmarked(saved) and option to save already saved words in other lists.

Thank you for sharing such an amazing review! Feedback like yours is incredibly helpful. Regarding a favorite button, while this isn't available right now, DaKanji does have a 'quick add' function, which provides a faster way of saving. Also, an indicator for words already in a list is a great idea and will be included in an upcoming version.
