The Best Kanji App
There are many Kanji Apps, but this one is the best. It is easy to look up words if you can write Japanese.
Description
Kanji lookup - simple, fast, and hassle-free!
This App is not a dictionary or an exhaustive Kanji reference - and nor does it strive to be! Instead, it focusses on - and attempts to excel at - one thing: Finding the meaning of an unknown Kanji character as quickly and easily as possible using the only way that really makes sense on a touch-enable device: by drawing it.
Stop wasting your time counting strokes, deciphering radicals, or learning the intricacies of 'well-designed' lookup schemes - simply start drawing the character and watch results appear instantaneously.
KanjiLookup does not clutter your results with obscure readings only found in the name of that one mountain village or cross-references to paper dictionaries you most likely don't own anyway. Instead, it simply shows you what you are looking for: The character's pronunciation and definition. In addition, a searchable list of the most relevant words containing the Kanji character is only a tap away.
Of course you can also search using the keyboard. KanjiLookup can even (optionally) search for all Kanji characters contained in text in the pasteboard.
KanjiLookup was designed from the ground up for minimal start-up time, nearly instantaneous handwriting recognition, and a clean interface that doesn't get in your way. It currently contains information for over 3500 Kanji, including but not limited to all the Joyo and Jinmeiyo characters.

Kanji Lookup Reviews
Incredible!
This app has made all the difference in my kanji/Japanese study! No longer do I have to spend minutes at a time to look up kanji by radical or by the number of stokes - this app instantly tells you the kanji the moment you finish writing it. And it gives you the compound words you’re likely to see that kanji in. I can’t say enough Scott how great this app is!
素晴らしい
贅沢言わせてもらうと、熟語の選択肢も加えてほしい
Unreliable, works great when it wants too though
Some nights the Kanji scanner works perfectly and gives furigana plus the English translations of the Kanji, which makes reading through Japaneae texts effortless and incredibly smooth. Other nights however it is completely worthless and only gives furigana and absolutely refuses to give English translations for even the most simplest of Kanji. Unfortunately it is literally 50/50 crapshoot on when this thing decides to work or not, literally only works as intended half the time, so it is unreliable and thus looses quite a bit of stars for me. A shame, because there is so much potential. Please fix these bugs and I will fix my review.
i love this
It helps me so much to just write the kanji rather than try looking it up by how it looks i would give it a 6/5 if i could
Just what I needed as mid level learner
It is a great challenge to find an approach that allows you to get over the beginning Japanese language hump, but this app did it for me. Although, I know I will need another app or approach to improve on my grammar, this app is giving me a rapid increase in vocabulary through exploring Kanji in a surprising way, by just random exposure. What sticks sticks and what doesn’t is increasingly familiar over repetition.
What an app
Love it
Literally perfect
Literally one of the best apps I’ve ever seen. The drawing recognition is honestly incredible, and the stroke by stroke animations help so much. It also doesn’t bombard you with ads or make you get an account or anything like that. It’s literally perfect
So great!
My kanji is awful but it still can tell me what character I am looking for! Thank you!
