As much as I prefer hard copies of learning materials, this is easily the best kanji dictionary I could find (hard copies included) The app has always been stable (used for two and a half years), the UI is clean, looking up by copying and pasting or typing is on point, the JLPT and Kyou’iku lists are nice, and the ads are never disruptive. The one thing that could make it even better is the inclusion of a “search by radical” function.
exactly what I wanted

I'm happy with this app-- it's exactly what I was looking for: input the character (or a short sequence) and then it clearly shows the correct stroke order/proportion for practice.
Canto please!

I love this it has helped me a lot, especially because it gives Chinese pronunciation as well! But I also am studying cantonese so if you could make a cantonese section that'd be nice, thank you! Xiè xiè arigatou m4 goi1
