Description
Save time looking up Japanese with wishoTouch. This universal app turns your iPhone/iPad into a powerful, easy-to-use dictionary that packs some unique features.
wishoTouch comes with its own full-screen kanji handwriting pad. You need to know the stroke order, but results are sorted in such a way that most of the time you don't need to draw the whole character. You can also find kanji by radical, number of strokes, meaning etc., rotate the device to quickly thumb through related characters, and watch interactive stroke-order animations for 6,355 kanji.
And that's not all. Tight integration with a word dictionary lets you seamlessly jump between a kanji and its compounds. This integration makes use of multitouch gestures: touching a kanji shows its details, while touch-holding gives you other options.
Hunting for Japanese words and kanji has never been simpler or more enjoyable!
NOTE: Basic knowledge of hiragana and kanji stroke order is recommended.
FEATURES include:
- Incremental search in English and Japanese
- Autocorrect in English and romaji
- Bookmark, annotate and share entries
- Split View/Slide Over Multitasking Mode (iPad)
- Jump to other apps and web dictionaries
- Share Extension to look up from other apps
- Share Extension to add cards to Anki
- Spotlight search for kanji
- Speech recognition in English and Japanese (iOS 10+)
- Today Widget showing kanji and their compounds
- Apple Watch app
- Night mode (dark mode)
- Optional add-ons (one-time purchase, NOT subscription)

- Apple Watch support! Discover kanji and words through complications. The complications use a JLPT level or custom folder that you set on the watch. Tapping a complication takes you to its entry, where you can browse by swiping left/right, copy/bookmark to the main device, and hear pronunciations. Also:
• If you have the Pro Handwriting add-on (formerly called MyScript Module) and the watch is paired, you can look up kanji by handwriting.
• If you have the Flashcards add-on and a Series 4 Watch, some complications show your progress.
The Watch app requires watchOS 5.0 or later.
This version also includes fixes and updates.

RedTincture,
Works great
Easily worth $20 if you're not a complete noob at kanji and can draw the radicals with the proper stroke order. If you *are* a complete noob, I recommend Skritter. I only wish it were easier to look up words formed from multiple kanji more easily. Thankfully at least you can copy+paste individual kanji into Denshi Jisho. Slow, but it works. I also wish there were a "by Radical" function like Denshi Jisho, but without having to search for the radicals visually. Then it would be 5 stars.
Pf1220,
Well made and very accurate app
I have had this app for years now and it has served me very well. I don't use the dictionary all that much, I'm more about the handy kanji writing dictionary- perfect for on the fly readings- no knowledge of radicals needed at all, just simply write the character out in the correct way and you'll get the apposite hit before you know it! This is what makes this app worth the price in my opinion- it's a cut above. Purchase it without any fears, it will most definitely serve you well, whether you have an advanced or rudimentary knowledge of Japanese and Kanji characters alike!
Zak MacKracken,
Great but bugs in audio
Audio playback is getting cut off; only the end of a word or sentence is heard.
I have purchased the Enhanced Audio add-on.
I think the free iOS system voices for Japanese text to speech sound better. Can we have an option to just use those instead?
Will update review after this bug is fixed.

Thrashre,
Almost Mediocre
With Jishop being released, this app better cut it's price by about $12, and that still might not be enough, because it has twice as many kanji (and then some), and tons of compounds, and so much more depth to the meanings / definitions than this app. This is a so-so beginner kanji app, no more than that.
There's only one Japanese app that costs as much as this one, and that's "Japanese" by Codefromtokyo, and it is in a class by itself.
There is no possible way that anyone could justify the price of this app. Unfortunately I got ripped off because the interface looked pretty cool, and I had hopes for it, which it fails to meet, spectacularly. If you want an app that does what this one does, and plenty more, try something like Shinkanji, and save yourself $14, or the above mentioned Jishop. Which by the way has a free version with 1000 kanji, and a $5 version that is waaayyy better than this.

使いにくい
Update: Upon further use I've decided this app is pretty good, there are a lot of good features. However, they are poorly explained and the price is still high. Work on the recognition and the app will be a steal.
UpdateUpdate: So, I've gotted used to simply using the radical lookup. It's quite good I was going to up the stars on this review, but then I downloaded the new modules...... The examples are great, worth 5 bucks. However, the OCR doesn't work at all. I've tried all kinds of different fonts, about 20 kanji in all and just one has been right. I thought it might be good for train stations with no Furigana, but it still has a long way to go.
UpdatedUpdateUpdate: Latest version crashes all the time. I have no trouble with ant other app.

Pokaymahn,
POKEMON!
ok well this app.. is the possibly the greatest japanese app out there in general! It has every kanji that anyone could ever come upon (6000 about), i see some negative reviews for this app and i wonder what the hell were they looking at???? this is clearly the best, i use it just about every day to study kanji and words! if you dont like it then you have something wrong with you.
Mistique FireMaiden,
So useful
At first when I was still learning how to use this app I thought it was nothing big but once I figured it out I was so happy! Not having it is not an option since it helps me with my studies soooo much!
They updated iOS and now I have to wait for the app to update since I can't use it due to it crashing after I start it up... I hope it is updated soon!!!

Rikkyfox,
An Essential Tool
As a freelance translator, I usually have digital files to work with. For cases when I need to translate from hard copy or PDF and can't just copy and paste, this app is a lifesaver for fast, accurate kanji and vocabulary lookup.
Carper87,
Promising
I think the program is okay overall, but I think it would be even better if you can either take a picture of multiple kanji, say a whole word for example-尊敬- instead of one kanji at a time. Or be able to take multiple pictures to search for a word.
katrinapichelli,
over priced and not worth it
Sadly, this app only recognizes kanji if its written in perfect stroke order and with really neat writing. For twenty bucks? What did I just buy? I'm assuming most people who use the app are just learning Japanese, so probably don't know perfect stroke order! Also the app layout is difficult to navigate to see kanji meaning in hiragana. Please make an update to make kanji more recognizable based on the end product rather than stroke order...otherwise I sadly just wasted my money and want a refund!
