My favorite of all the online dictionaries. Ad free, super slim, clean looking, full offline use. The information is organized in an intuitive way to keep the screen clutter free and easy to read at a glance. Anki flashcards can be made directly from the app with a tap , most words have 2 or more native speaker recordings. I do wish the flashcards included audio. If it did, it would probably be my only deck, but this app has everything else. Japanese monolingual definitions are being added too!

This is AMAZING!!! Particles matched with words, native pitch accent audio, very excellent free version that is nonintrusive, it is a constant project that only gets better with each update! The quizzing is also super helpful and super fun. You can always tap on a term you don't know or messed up to see everything about it! All in the blink of an eye. Made me so happy that I bought the lifetime version to support this app and those who contribute to its continuous improvement! Tysm 4 the app <3

Best japanese dictionary app ever! No ads. Simple and easy to use. There are so much options for many different results of words for your search. And you can search many things. And each word it gives you has so many cool features like kanji strokes and forms and examples and everything! Theres so much more stuff that this app gives thats too much to explain! 10/10 I reccomend. Its really really good and useful.
