Simply amazing. Very detailed information about kanji, both individual or as a whole word or sentence. It makes studying the language a lot easier! Small suggestion, it would be nice to also have details about the romaji form, and it would also be nice to be able to press a button and save words for later. Nevertheless, I am really happy with rikaikun. Thank you for developing.

Nice one. One problem I have though is that it does not work on Microsoft news, would be great if it does. Would recommend Rikaikun team to look into it.
