Description
Save time looking up Japanese with wishoTouch. This universal app turns your iPhone/iPad into a powerful, easy-to-use dictionary that packs some unique features.
wishoTouch comes with its own full-screen kanji handwriting pad. You need to know the stroke order, but results are sorted in such a way that most of the time you don't need to draw the whole character. You can also find kanji by radical, number of strokes, meaning etc., rotate the device to quickly thumb through related characters, and watch interactive stroke-order animations for 6,355 kanji.
And that's not all. Tight integration with a word dictionary lets you seamlessly jump between a kanji and its compounds. This integration makes use of multitouch gestures: touching a kanji shows its details, while touch-holding gives you other options.
Hunting for Japanese words and kanji has never been simpler or more enjoyable!
NOTE: Basic knowledge of hiragana and kanji stroke order is recommended.

- Incremental search in English and Japanese
- Autocorrect in English and romaji

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent
I’ve used several dictionary apps, and this one is hands down the most comprehensive for kanji lookup. When drawing, you do usually need to use correct stroke order, but I think this is not a major issue for serious students as proper order reinforces learning. The add ons are very beneficial, and well designed, like the handwriting input has a nice hand-drawn feel, flash cards are uniquely presented, and examples are rather good and often fresh. The developer is very caring about the app and is responsive. This app is one of my key learning tools. Absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended!
Sensational
Really good app. Camera recognition is improving with each update
Excellent considering it's one of the few apps that has kanji recognition
Kanji recognition works only if you know the correct stroke order, which is very difficult at times.
Would prefer an upgrade where the app can recognize kanji by its shape rather than number and order of strokes, just like in a denshi jisho.
It can be annoying having to switch between English and romaji when doing a word search.
Great to have verb conjugations and examples.
