Sakura Kanji Dictionary (桜漢字大辞典) is a detailed Japanese character dictionary for iPhone and iPad. It contains 13,108 kanji headwords and goes far deeper than most kanji apps, with around 10,000 stroke-order animations, several font variations including archaic forms, computer codes, references to printed dictionaries and Unicode UniHan data.
You can search in English, Japanese, or kana, with results updating as you type, and wildcard pattern searches are supported. Romaji readings and audio pronunciations help with learning, and kanji handwriting recognition lets you look up characters you cannot type. A built-in mini-app lets you practise and test stroke order.
A Kanji-a-Day feature draws from lists such as the JLPT and Kanji Kentei levels, and bookmarks with folders and notes help you organise your study. Cross-references link to other dictionaries, making it a strong tool for serious students of Japanese.
