v2.14.12

It's good but wish we could write chars manually with finger. Also a show/close history button which we want to see or not to see what we have searched.

I have been using this app for years. It's very useful. The only downside is that there's no option to add words to favorites.

Word-based searches in Japanese are difficult for someone who doesn't know it like me. The application does not make you feel this difficulty. Thanks
