Save time looking up Japanese with wishoTouch. This universal app turns your iPhone/iPad into a powerful, easy to use Japanese-English-kanji dictionary.

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 dont need to draw the whole character. You can also find, filter and browse kanji by attribute (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 thats 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.

On iPad, landscape view makes best use of the extra space so that you can see search results, word entries and a kanjis details all at the same time. wishoTouch also takes advantage of the Retina Display to deliver a crisp, easy-to-read interface. Hunting for kanji has never been simpler or more enjoyable!
