Comments and Reviews
This site is very interesting, fun, and informational. You can learn much from the shapes you draw
Shapecatcher is excellent for language study, although it should be noted that CJKV characters are not really supported (the author acknowledges this, and has little time for development, although I am sure throwing money his way would help).
Here is the site announcement thread: https://redd.it/m42kc
Be sure to also check out Detexify for TeX, which I will add as an alternative soon.
This app is a gem. Using it frequently and never had let me down.
Shapecatcher recognizes quickly and well, presents a comprehensive list of prospective characters that is still easy to find the looked for character in, and loads quickly & works well on mobile (even over a slower cellular data connection).
