Awful. No way to lookup kanji. Search returns very random entries. I typed in both "7" and "seven" and it wouldn't even give me the entry for 7, much less the kanji. The other tabs are just shortcuts to an embedded Google browser tab, so if you already have a web browser on your phone (which you do) you don't need this app.

The scan, dictionary and history buttons at the bottom overlap with the minimise, close and back/exit buttons on the phone, making the app unusable.

Fun to use. Some dictionaries are staid and rather dull. This one helps to cheer me up. I need that.
