I used to have a really good app a few years back but forgot what it’s called. It let me draw a kanji and it recognised it and told me its readings and such.
Any suggestions for similar apps? When I search on Google all I get is anki, and other apps for studying kanji but I want one where I can draw the kanji.

I use an app called ‘Japanese Kanji Study’ by ‘Chase Colburn’ (on Google play store), sounds like it might be the app you’re talking about, if not it’s a great app regardless
If you have Android, Akebi is a good one. The drawing pad doesn’t care about stroke order, so it’s good for learners who don’t know the order yet.
I use Google translate.
jisho has a radicals menu as well as you can draw it (the drawing thing isn’t great, but it often is good enough)
The Google keyboard on Android phones has a function that let’s you draw kanji. Then you can just copy paste it into any kanji dictionary.
“KanjiLookup” on iOS works for me
On iOS there’s a dictionary simply called « Japanese ». You can search by drawing
