Weird, It gets stuck at the logo picture and doesn't move anywhere else, can you fix that?

If you are studying Nihongo there are few better dictionaries. I particularly like the writing input.

Best dictionary app for Japanese learners. I highly recommend this app if you're trying to learn Japanese. You can access everything with no Ads for free. I bought the Pro version just to support the developers.
