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.

Интерфейс (ваш) на троечку. Датабаза (не ваша) на пять. Отрисовка этой самой базы удовлетворительна. Отдельная боль - виджет. Заходами, то обновляется, то висит пустым неделями. Ладно бы старый кандзи отображал. Нет. Целыми днями висит пустым. Нужно лезть в настройки и обновлять вручную. Иногда работает. VPN (который необходим) видимо полностью сбивает "апдейт" виджета, и по обычному тунелю(

The app asks to install kanjirecognizer,despite it's already installed . Android 11

Still a great application overall, but a bug in 2.5.X onwards means it no longer connects to Kanji Recognizer (says you must download even if already installed - reinstalling/clearing cache etc. does not fix this), so handwiting recognition and search is no longer possible.

I like it BUT the display font does not fit in the frame.

Bug 1: Kanji in 1x1 widget is not being centered vertically in landscape orientation (it is centered horizontally, however). Bug 2: When rotating from landscape into portrait and then back into landscape, the widget gets stuck on displaying "Loading..." Bug 3: Kanji in the widget is way too small, especially in landscape mode, it could use some bigger font size. Perhaps make the font size configurable? Will edit the review if things get fixed.

Please go back to the old version/make a layout option where the buttons for example sentence etc. were on the bottom of the screen. Why do app developers put buttons out of reach, I genuinely wonder sometimes if they have ever used a modern smartphone....

I was looking for a 漢字 dictionary with Pinyin [and Korean] reading; and this is the one! Спасибо Николай!

I've used this dictionary for at least twenty years it seems. The best database.

Very good. It has a lot of informal Japanese vocabulary as well. My only complaint is that I wish the favorites menu could be reordered (alphabetical, manual, etc).
