Ratings and reviews

Update: Kanji Recognizer bug fixed on 2023.8.22 for Android 12+. App can now be used as intended.

I loved having the Kanji Recognizer on my old phone. When I went to re-download it on my new phone, this is all that showed up by Kanji Recognizer's creator. After downloading it, I went to test it, and it asked me to download the newest version of Kanji Recognizer, at which point I got excited and thought it might just not have shown up. But when I followed the link, it said Kanji Recognizer is not compatible with my new phone model, which in the end renders this app useless unfortunately.

It used to be amazing. However, I've installed the latest version on my new phone and the kanji recognition no longer works. It keeps prompting me to download the kanji recognizer app even though it's already installed. Without this feature working the app is basically useless to me.

What's new

* Properly detect Kanji Recognizer on Android 12+
* Added privacy policy
