The app's alright, but for the storage space it takes up, it should be and could be A LOT better. The website version searches words a lot better than the app. The thing it could improve on the most are the example sentences. especially on the website. They're very long and complex. They should be short, simple, and use the word being searched effectively. I know it'll be a lot of work but please fix those example sentences. Some of them are horrible!

Artem Nagornyi

The best dictionary app for Android. Interface is very clean and easy to use, also examples are very helpful and I like the ability to expand every word and sentence. This little app can replace your big and bulky 電子辞書.

Adam Lemker

good app, but could be better This app is very nice, but could you please allow the back button to close it? It just opens the search instead, so I have to manually kill the app. Also, as mentioned by others, the radical search from the website would be nice.

Sam Pearman

Still significantly more rubbish than just using the website Although I bought this on launch because I love the website so much, and want to support it. Hope this app improves to become almost as useful as the website.

Александр Трофименко

Needs some improvements This app is very helpful. But, there are some bugs, including: - keyboard being closed and opened by its own will when you tap on search bar. - endless detailed info about kanji if you tap on kanji while looking at a full word. Also, it'd be amazing if you added search by a radical and kanji favorites list (I see the star icon but cannot see the favs tab and whatnot). Overall, this is a nice and stable app. Thank you.

Offline Japanese dictionary Very good offline dictionary. Ad supported but they don't get in the way and easy to remove. If you use the website version you will be right at home with this application version. 👍 🗻

Almost perfect I love the website and the app is free so I'll give 5 stars, but it sucks that the Kanji writing (i.e., line order) part isn't in the app. Otherwise looks great.

Dave G. January 22, 2016

Nice app! My favourite Japanese-English dictionary. Could you implement a search history?

Robert Silva April 12, 2016

Wow, best dictionary by far I've tried them all. When it comes to having all the conjugations quick and easy to access this one takes the cake.

Manish Orekondy August 21, 2016

Romaji transliteration is underrated. Romaji transliteration of words, meanings AND sentences in Grey makes life easy for those learning the scripts. Going paid totally worth it!

Vincent Guilpain October 1, 2015

Really beautiful UI. I use Tandorin for all my learning : translation, kanji (stroke order, usage in words) and examples.

K Krisno June 24, 2015

Need a program exit It would be better if pressing back button can exit the program.

Heather Chua May 17, 2015

Pretty good, needs radical searches Good layout, good font type, easy to use. But needs function to search radicals.

Mysti-Leigh Woodard January 1, 2016

Great app, does everything I need it to and does it beautifully (which is apparently rare for dictionary apps).

November 17, 2014

Please, include a search by radicals.

rain drop April 14, 2015

It would be great if there's vocabulary list function.

Sok Nai March 6, 2016

I love it. After knowing the meaning of the words and also how to use it with examples.

M Kanke April 21, 2016

Simple and works in offline mode so perfect for on the go.

Shido Itsuka June 9, 2015

Ramon Coutinho August 16, 2016

Please implement search history.

Jay Ponpon February 9, 2016

Dictionary Very useful

Terry Spanky September 16, 2016

nice for example of sentences

Anna Chen October 22, 2015

awsome

Andrew Rich September 12, 2014

すごい、しかし••• Since installing this version, it locks up/ force closes after I screen shot it. In general, a personal list would be nice (I'd only create an account if that's a benefit to having one)

Artiom Basenko September 17, 2014

Despite everything I've bought it once more One of the best Japanese dictionaries out there. Had some problems with ads, but now it's okay.

Keisha Brown September 9, 2014

Wonderful app, but I'd like to see my vocab lists The app is amazing. I no longer have to use multiple dictionaries and apps to find the reading of a word, the meaning of a kanji, and get example sentences. I only use one other site for learning phrases a word is used in. I would really love if I could log in through the app to view my vocab lists. Other than that, I love using this.

Robin Raymann August 25, 2014

Fine until the free version came I've read the reviews and I've also read your response. It sucks that Google isn't helping you with the refunds but it is how it is now. Can't you work on an ad free version for those who paid? Think of something to compensate the people. Of course you didn't get rich from 300 sold apps but the 300 people who bought it and supported you are now being told that it was a mistake to do so. Besides that I'll keep using the app because it's still a good dictionary and does the job well.

Buch Stabe August 30, 2014

No longer recommending it since paying users got landed with ads I originally rated this 5 stars but deleted it. I no longer recommend this because of the customer treatment. It sucks if you pay to support to a promising looking app and then it gets converted to free AND you get landed with ads There may be restrictions by the Google store, but a) you can research things before you make a change b) it's still the responsibility of the developer to find a solution for this instead of putting the blame on Google. For example upgrade this one back to an ad-free version and release a separate version with ads.

Gregory Bober August 31, 2014

Thanks for explaining that that one star is for how you were treated and not for the app itself.

Anders Mårtensson July 30, 2014

Latest update big improvement Better UI and can now search with conjugated words it seems, finally. Now I'm just a bit annoyed because I have to deal with ads after having paid for the app, otherwise I'd give it a higher rating. Keep the paid version without ads for those of us who've paid and have a free one with ads, thank you very much 😕

Thanakorn Srichaithumrong August 1, 2014

Annoying ads Please do something . i have paid for great app before this but now i have to use with annoying app. Its very annoying.You make another free version but please keep the original for ur real customer! Its very UNFAIR!

Gregory Bober August 5, 2014

The paid model didn't work out. I wanted to refund those who paid for it but Google Play does not allow it. I agree it's unfair. It was a mistake and I'm deeply sorry about it.

林樂寬 August 10, 2014

Fail Used to be great. I didn't pay for ads though. Also, the new UI sucks. You honestly have to make an ad free version available for those who paid. If you don't, people will feel completely ripped off, which is true! If I were you I would hurry up with that, or this app will lose traction with its fanbase quickly.

Bill O'Dwyer August 4, 2014

Gone downhill, not pleased. I bought this app some time ago, and loved it... Better than anything else out there. Now, however, it's got adverts, despite my having PAID for this app.

Empty Book July 30, 2014

The new version is better. The examples dictionary actually works now. There is still no names dictionary as exists on the website. A bit peeved that there is ads because I paid for this app.

August 1, 2014

No ad option for buyers would be good. It's great but I would like to be able to disable the ads, since I bought the app before it went free.

Lazar Ljubenovic August 22, 2014

As someone who just found out about the app, I am not aware of the drama going on in the comments. i like the app a lot, it's simple to use and helpful. It's ads, not a plague.

Noam Mayer-Deutsch July 30, 2014

Based on the best site Changed my review because I paid for the earlier version and now have ads. It is still a great dictionary with an intuitive ui and helpful examples and stroke order

Mohammad Aljishi July 30, 2014

Not acceptable After having paid for the app I now find that this update made it free and made it show ads.

Gregory Bober July 31, 2014

If it's any consolation to you I've spent 7 years working on this dictionary and the app sold 300 copies in six months. I'm very sorry you spent $3 on it and it's free now.

Malcolm Fraser August 2, 2014

Ditch the ads. Great app, but please get rid of the adverts...

Yuri Honcharenko August 7, 2014

it's okay Great app, too bad it's free now.

Gregory Bober August 5, 2014

Very sorry about this. The paid app sold ~300 copies in six months. I'm not being greedy. It wasn't sustainable. I wish I could issue refunds with promo codes to those who paid for it but the Google Play store does not allow it because of my nationality.
