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. \n\nStop 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. \nKanjiLookup 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. \nOf course you can also search using the keyboard. KanjiLookup can even (optionally) search for all Kanji characters contained in text in the pasteboard. \n\nKanjiLookup 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.","facts":{"developer_id":699508003,"developer_url":"http://telethon.jp","first_released":"2015-03-16T16:41:08Z","support_url":"http://telethon.jp/","privacy_url":"https://telethon.jp/privacy_policy/PrivacyPolicy_KanjiLookup_iOS.html","website_url":"http://telethon.jp/","app_version":"2.4.1","release_notes":"- iOS27 compatibility","rating_current_version":4.65121,"rating_count_current_version":3062,"star_counts":[88,41,135,323,2475],"genres":["Reference","Education"],"languages":["EN","DE","JA"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["watch","iphone","ipad"],"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-21T15:31:48.313Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-21T15:31:48.313Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":null,"placed_at":"2026-10-19T03:35:11.902Z","scored_at":"2026-10-21T11:58:12.746Z"},"editorial":null,"memberships":[{"list":"dictionary","list_name":"dictionary","list_status":"active","list_url":"https://apptierlist.com/best/dictionary/","position":31,"tier":"C","score":67,"components":{"rating":93,"votes":74.9,"rank":0,"recency":100},"status":"active","review_status":"checked","list_ranking_status":"ranked","confidence":"provisional","judged_at":"2026-10-19T03:35:11.902Z"}],"main_list":"dictionary","claim":{"status":"none","verified":false,"site_url":null,"verified_via":null,"verified_domain":null},"history":[{"id":167752,"at":"2026-10-19T03:49:11.615Z","kind":"tier_changed","list":"dictionary","app_store_id":973780102,"app":"kanji-lookup-973780102","from":null,"to":"C","reason":"score 67","job":"rescore"},{"id":167542,"at":"2026-10-19T03:35:11.902Z","kind":"membership_added","list":"dictionary","app_store_id":973780102,"app":"kanji-lookup-973780102","from":null,"to":"active","reason":"Its main job is looking up a kanji's meaning and pronunciation, by drawing or typing, with a searchable list of words containing it.","job":"shadow"},{"id":161147,"at":"2026-10-18T08:51:11.801Z","kind":"app_added","list":null,"app_store_id":973780102,"app":"kanji-lookup-973780102","from":null,"to":null,"reason":"discovered","job":"import"}],"explain":{"method":"Membership is decided by a model judging the App Store listing against the list's definition (and its excludes, for memberships placed or rechecked since they were added to the prompt); every verdict is listed with its date; the score is a plain average of the public components an app has (four, plus Apple's Editors' Choice badge as 100 where shown); nothing is purchasable.","lists":[{"list":"dictionary","list_name":"dictionary","status":"active","review_status":"checked","position":31,"tier":"C","score":67,"components":{"rating":93,"votes":74.9,"rank":0,"recency":100},"ranks":[],"verdicts":[{"verdict":"keep","reason":"Its main job is looking up a kanji's meaning and pronunciation, by drawing or typing, with a searchable list of words containing it.","verifier":"claude-sonnet-5-5","decided_at":"2026-10-19T03:35:11.902Z","attempts":1,"current":true},{"verdict":"keep","reason":"Although it calls itself 'not a dictionary', its core purpose is looking up the meaning and pronunciation of unknown Kanji by drawing or typing them, plus related words.
