What's New

Wildcard search, a powerful feature that allows you to look up words with much more flexibility.
• Use a question mark ("?") to specify a single character.
• Use an asterisk ("*") to specify zero or more characters.

Examples:
• 日?語 finds words of length 3 that start with 日 and end with 語.
• 日*語 finds words of any length that start with 日 and end with 語.
• *大学 finds words that end with 大学.
• *好* finds words that contain 好.

This update also contains speed improvement and many bug fixes.

NOTES

We value our customers' satisfaction and don't want you to make a wrong purchase. Please read the following notes before you buy.

• The handwriting recognition requires correct stroke order, though it allows a few incorrect strokes for some kanji.

• The app shows pronunciations in hiragana, not romaji. Do not buy this app if you can't read hiragana.
