Best tool for a Japanese learner, but the kanji search is a bit hard, because I have to select the radicals one by one. So instead I use the google writing keyboard for Japanese. Overall this is the best app for finding any Japanese word. Also it gives you conjugations for eadh word as it is very helpful. I recommend having a teacher to guide you, if you are using this app. I really like this app, I'm looking forward to using it. 👌🫡💪🏼🗿

This is an amazing tool for anyone wanting to learn Japanese and especially Kanji. I just wish I could support the developer because it's such a useful tool, unfortunately the remove ads button appears to be removed and has yet to be re-enabled. Seriously amazing tool to use to look up Kanji and the fact that it's accessible offline is just the cherry on top of this amazing app
