NOTES

We value our customers' satisfaction and don't want you to make a wrong purchase. Here are a few things to consider before you buy:

The handwriting recognition requires correct stroke order, though it allows a few incorrect strokes for some kanji. Please do not buy this app if you are not familiar with kanji radicals.

Most parts of the app are in hiragana, katakana, and kanji only.

I've owned a couple WordTanks and smaller electronic dictionaries and used a variety of software like JEdict on the Mac (which is also great). But the combination of an iPad and Midori is truly amazing and useful.

It looks fantastic on the new iPad's Retina display and the progressive radical search is brilliant

Comprehensive & Versatile Dictionary/ App (5 stars)
