Has it all
This app has it all. I've been using it for years. The things I like most about this app are: handwritten character input (can even handle two-character compounds), similar-looking kanji, dictionary for 人名表 (Japanese names), kanji stroke order, vocabulary bookmarks, example sentences
As mentioned by others, we're lucky that this app is (still) free.
Just one minor thing I'd like to be added: option to increase the size of the handwritten character input canvas
The best Japanese-English dictionary
I have to agree with “unreal”: this app has no right being free! I loved and used the app called (simply but vaguely) “Japanese”. At first glance they seem to be the same but this one has so many subtle improvements over that one, making it the outright winner. This app is by far the most used app on my iPhone. Get it and improve your Japanese!
