My favourite Japanese learning app

Version 1.8.7
This is probably one of the most underrated Japanese learning apps. It is well designed, easy to use, and every update (thus far) has made it even better still. Many thanks to the developers for creating a thoughtful and useful app for those of us learning Japanese vocabulary, sentence structure, kanji and kana!

Most useful app on the app store

I can’t believe this app free. This offline dictionary alone is fantastic, allowing you to:
- search by strokes, how it’s written or by drawing it out.
-You can attach notes to words/kanji/Kana characters, bookmark them, seperate them into folders if you’d like
-You’re given word lists, Kanji lists, Kana lists seperated by frequency, grade, level and more.
but it doesn’t stop there, All these lists can be made into flashcard decks at the tap of button, that goes for your bookmark folders too. With a spaced repetition setting too.
This is an absolutely wonderful app and I’d say a must have for anyone learning the language.
I’d like to edit this and add on, You can even bookmark example sentences and turn them into flashcards!

If only the handwriting recognition would be better

Better than Midori in many ways but the handwriting recognition is worse and it sometimes takes a few trials for the kanji to even show up on the list. On the other hand, it has more kanji than Midori. Highly recommend considering it’s free.

Probably the best app on my IPad/phone

So, so, so useful for someone studying Japanese. Not only meanings but sample sentences, verb conjugations etc. And now I am on a quest to learn the most common kanji, a fantastic way to burrow into the radicals.

Version 1.8.6
Pros:
Kanji drawing is surprisingly good at picking up what you’re trying to write even if your input is subpar. The dictionary has everything you need, bookmarking for flash cards, default decks for JLPT, grade school levels, etc. I used it everyday for months on end, it’s almost perfect!
Cons: Two things!
The search history function is just too much. It saves everything you type in SO fast, with the typos and the mistakes. Considering this is meant for people who learn, there is just no way to keep a clean and helpful history, because every time you look up a word it will save both the pre-kanji-selection hiragana input and the kanji writing in separate history entries. God forbid you take a second break mid-word or type something in wrong, you’d end up with 5-6 entries for what is essentially one actual search. I wish I could at least turn it off.
Also, I sometimes wish there were more example sentences for words that are not tagged as 通用.
Overall, amazing app, but the history function is kind of infuriating...!

Best Japanese dictionary you could ask for

If you only want to use 1 app for a Japanese dictionary, use this one. Its so much more than a dictionary but also an insanely helpful study tool with tons of examples and detailed notes on kanji, expressions, etc. Also you can make your own folders of bookmarks for words you come across and study them! I love jisho 💚

thank you!

That’s perfect I do not usually write reviews but you deserve a five stars review ! I always find what I’m looking for, that’s a very complete dictionary you have all kana and Kanji with the strokes order, you can draw a Kanji to find it or write something either in English, in Romaji or in Japanese. It’s free and I always use it !

Great

I’ve been using this app for almost 6 months already. It’s really helpful. Try to download it and you won’t regret it. The only thing is that you cannot search a word if they are conjugated already. Overall it’s a good app that I’ve discovered.

This app is of course not a translator, but it is a dictionary. My only gripe is that it occasionally excludes regional slang or vocabulary from its database. Additionally, its example sentences are oftentimes not terribly helpful.
Otherwise, it appears to be the best available free dictionary.

I switched to this one because I was having some trouble with imiwa? (Although imiwa? is also a good app). So far this one has a lot of features I like. One is the kanji lookup. I have the ability to do this in imiwa? Using the Chinese writing keyboard, but it's nice to have it natively in the app. I also like how the app searches for words. It will break up words if it can't find just one, which is useful if I want to look up a phrase or sentence. Likewise, it will put together idiomatic phrases which makes them much easier to understand. I will take JLPT N2 on Sunday, and this dictionary has been my study buddy.

My most favorite Japanese dictionary app out there

Very helpful app. The fact that it provides the different conjugations of words and the hiragana equivalents of kanji makes it really useful. It also translates expressions which is helpful too.
