Jishop Review

The free version shows the 1006 Gakushū kanji. Some versions (desktop and android) give a 30 day full version trial before reverting to the limited version.

There is often a slight correlation between pronunciation and shades of meaning for kanji, which most dictionaries don't seem to show you. Jishop will try to tease these connections out, helping to significantly clarify some rather broad kanji.

Most EDICT skins use the radkfile mechanism, which is 1) riddled with errors and 2) rather incomplete. Jishop has its own non-bushu lookup mechanism that is significantly easier to use once you get used to the slightly quirky interface.
