Ratings and Reviews
Must have for Japanese learners
This dictionary is definitely a must have if you're learning Japanese, the main benefits of this app are that there's no internet needed, which means you get all the information without any wait, which is super nice if you're out and about, as well as that, you can draw a kanji out on it if you don't recognise it, which is a lifesaver more often than you'd think 😅.
It works best for me to be used to quickly find definitions of anything you're not sure of, since you just open the app, enter the phrase, and you can see like the top 8 most likely matches.
I find using this along with Jisho works really well and can speed up a pretty redundant task a lot (Having no ads or anything is a plus too 😛). I would recommend this to anyone learning Japanese, no matter how far along the journey you are!
Very convenient.
Looking up words or kanji is very convenient, and in the case of kanji you can see stroke orders as well. There’re example sentences, conjugations, and links to see what kanji are in the word. Also there’re two kana charts you can quick on quickly however I haven’t needed to use them.
I haven’t tried any other Japanese dictionary apps but I haven’t needed to.
Oh also there’s a thing where you can star a word or kanji and add it to flashcards, which can be done with SRS (if you don’t know what that is and you’re learning a language I suggest you look into it). I have another app for flashcards which I use instead so I haven’t really tried that part of the app but it seems nice.
Best Dictionary to assist in your Japanese learning journey
I really love this app and it’s been so helpful whenever I’ve needed to look up certain words. And sometimes if you may not know the On’yomi or Kun’yomi reading of a Kanji character, you can even draw it to search it up. It also has features where you can create flash cards and bookmark or save words to add to your vocab list in your folders. And lists all the conjugations a word has and example sentences to give a fuller in depth surmise of whatever word your looking for. It’s just as great as the online Jisho and a great equivalent for the iPhone! I highly recommend.
