KanjiGraph Japanese Dictionary

About this app

Kanji Graph is a smart offline Japanese-English dictionary. It is free and ad free. You can search words by rōmaji, kanji and kanji parts that you can quickly select from the search results (see a demo here https://youtu.be/nb3NG9W6iDY). You can also draw kanjis that will be recognized independently of stroke order or stroke count.

You can study and review word readings in a graph where nearby words share common kanji readings. All your actions (in the graph quiz and in the dictionary) will update your level for each kanji reading.

A downloadable module contains example sentences from the Japanese Wikipedia and the 小説家になろう website. The user level for the different kanji readings is used to show easier to read sentences first.

Detailed information about kanjis and any part thereof can be displayed: readings, meanings, common words grouped by reading and containing kanjis.

The dictionary also includes Japanese definitions from the wiktionary project. This includes synonyms, antonyms and etymology.

Ratings and reviews

Don't get me wrong, the graph is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. It's great. Offline functionally is extremely important to me, and there's also a toggle to switch between Japanese and English definitions. But bookmarks/lists and user inputted example sentences would be REALLY great. Unless I've missed the bookmark feature? To the developer, I would absolutely love to be able to save word lists and quiz off of those. And some sort of "memorization level" would be nice. The concept is great

Easily the best kanji app I've found so far. It's search feature is exactly what I need, and the fact that it's so straightforward means I have minimal distractions (unlike some other apps that I've tried). Edit 8/16/2023: Changing this from 4 to 5 stars now that I've used it more and found even more features I've grown to love. Kanji search, compounds, clicking on radicals in a Kanji for a breakdown, and even more has become extremely intuitive and just what I needed. Thank you for this app!

I enjoy that all the words and kanji I look up can be interrelated during the quiz, and that in the quiz I can learn new words I've never seen before that combine several kanji I already learned. My only gripe is that as you do the quiz multiple times, some of the words that were tested earlier disappeared in later tests. (孝道 was tested earlier but disappear last quiz). I hope you can fix this and allow people to still learn words from earlier quizzes for each new quiz.
