You've outdone the original dictionary by a lot. Please don't remove any current features.

Greatness, as expected from this site. I only wish all languages had their own Jim Breen sites and apps.
NakedJ - 2011-10-02
Latest update removed draw kanji feature. The app they recommended for this feature does not work. Would be 5 stars with a fix.
Roberto - 2011-09-08
it was good until the last update, then it stopped working, can't even look up simple words in English or Japanese. Samsung Galaxy S.
j - 2011-09-12
this app only works w/ good network connection. it is an undead app: it will start itself even when you don't use it if force-closed, wasting resource

Handwriting recognition is available, press the pencil icon in the top right corner.
Nikolay - 2011-09-13
It does not waste resources, that is how Android caches processes. Background service may start periodically to update widget, but is not always on.
Tarik - 2011-08-20
Can't I use the Write Kanji input for multiple kanjis.Handwriting keyboards are not that accurate to write kanji. your Write Kanji input is far better
