Kanji Lookup 4+

1) Works pretty well with a mouse when using left-click method
2) Does not work with trackpad when enabled. There doesn't seem to be a way to separate strokes. It seems to draw a line stroke from the last place left off to the start of the new stroke.
3) Should support graphic table pens. Tried Huion HS64 and HS611. Same problem as (2) - lift the pen and then set it down again the app draws a stroke from the last place that it left off to the new spot. Lift the pen, or lifting a finger, should stop the stroke and the next stroke begins when the finger or pen touches again. Get a cheap Huion HS64 to try this out.
4) Should have a 'last stroke undo' and a redo. I ony see a 'Clear' button, unless I've missed something.
5) Seems to have trouble finding something simple like the 5 stroke Kanji for 'to Stand up, rise, set up'

This just isn't a viable Mac app. The iOS version is uber popular and looks outstanding, but trying to draw Kanji on the track pad with this app is next to impossible.

There are two options:
The default setting is that you "click" and start drawing and the moment you release the mouse button or pressure from your track pad you are done and can no longer add to the kanji you're trying to draw. That's completely useless for me. With the exception of 一 I can't think of any Kanji that would work for.

The second option (changeable in the preferences) is that you can click one and then use pressure (not clicking, just draging you finger across its surface) on the track pad to draw your kanji. This works okay for simple kanji. 山 for example was recognized after the second try. Unfortunately for complex kanji drawing where you can't see the results combined with how sensitive the app is to properly drawn kanji makes it essentially impossible to get it to recognize the character. I gave up trying to get it to recognize 対 after about 10. I suspect a professional shodoo caligrapher wouldn't even be able to get it to recognize something complex like 雲.

If there were a third option where I could click and drag for each stroke and click a button or hit a keyboard key when I'm done drawing I would find this usable. Unfortunately that's not an option and the existing input methods simply aren't realistically useable.

I can't say for sure it is this app, but I'm concnerned. I'lll try uninstalling, but I have to ask -- what does this provide that my own highlihting and looking up does not?
