Thank you.

Love the app! Very useful with Simeji or Han-writing IMEs. Kanji widget picks useless/obscure ones though. Add "limit to joyo" option?

@nikkichan kanji not displaying is a problem with your Japanese font.

No multiradical searching, and some kanji don't even display (on a Japanese android no less). Kotoba! for iphone is a much better version of wwwjdict.

Awesome...been using for a few months. Goes well with a side of Kanji Recognizer (same company) 5* HTCevo

Works perfectly!

Why doesn't the kanji widget update daily?

Very good can find all the words I need

Beautiful app. The kanji lookup is a godsend. Search results need more relevancy though.

Great app. But, when using sentence translation sometimes for compound kanji it will show the meaning but not the reading. If fixed, will give 5 stars
