App Recommendation - Japanese Dictionary plus kanji

Just came across a cool app for the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad which would be helpful in your Japanese studies. It's a multilingual Japanese Dictionary and more. The best thing is that it's free. (They do accept donations). It's cool because you can use romaji when you do your searches. Check it out. "KOTOBA"

I heard about an app for the ipad where you press the kanji letters to spell words, and it automatically translates for you. Is that this?

@KagomeHHaruhiF This sounds a bit different. It's a Japanese to English/English to Japanese dictionary. If you set your iPad to type in kana it can form kanji characters, but it doesn't have existing kanji characters to start with (that would be to many buttons to push). You can also use romaji or English to find words or meanings you are looking for and it has the explanation of the kanji characters for your searches. Hope this helped
