I would pay to remove ads This would be almost the ideal dictionary app (example sentences would be a nice bonus) if it didn't always have an ad at the bottom. As it is, there's no way that I'll be using this app, so I give it 1 star.

An easy-to-use and useful app! Great dictionary app! Needs some more features like radical list for a single Kanji, and should enable the "remove ads" feature, but all-in-all a robust and useful app

Really good app Pretty good and I love the fact it explains individual kanji's meanings. Would be awesome if we can input hand written kanji like the webpage but I'm happy with the app as it is.

Love this app!! I haven't had a problem with this yet! It's useful in helping you find words, and if you're trying to understand a sentence without Google translate, you can input the sentence in this app and it will tell you what each word means, allowing you to understand it in your own way. Highly recommended, especially if you can't navigate Jed, like me, lol

It does it's job. The ads at the bottom are really frustrating. Also, I don't like the decomposition of kanji - e.g., ashita/myounichi into 2 characters separately... would prefer a page with it together and then the option of selecting each character. The lightweight nature is good esp. compared to the other options out there.

Very useful tool I love this. One of my favorite Japanese language apps. It's lightweight, well made, fast and informative. Offline dictionary and the ability to natively search in English or Kana is super helpful. I highly recommend this app if you want to expand your Japanese vocabulary and extend your knowledge.

アックセントをふくまれています It's great to know that accent is still available - a unique feature of this dictionary. Very useful and important. お返事くれてありがとうございます。

Accent is still available, it must first be enabled in the settings. Very helpful This is the reason me and my girlfriend met I was messaging and confessing to her in japanese (she's japanese btw) which she then responded in kanji I was searching like heck for a translator app till I stumbled upon this which then I translated her message to the romaji Aishiteru (I love you) I was very happy that day 10/10 for this app
This app will surely be perfect IF there's no ads while connecting to the internet. I expect for your improvement in removing all yhr ads away while there's internet connection. On the other hand, this app is super cool and suitable for every kind of Japanese learners from newbies to experts. Thank you Richard L for bearing this wonderful app to the world!!:)
Very complete I would like to thank Richard L. for this amazing app. It contains so many entries, even specific words like scientific terms. The translations are nice as I have been seldom misunderstood here in Japan. I love the fact that from one kanji we can look for words containing it. Also, the app looks nice. I would surely not have bought an electronic dictionary if I had known this app existed. Great job !
Very good dictionary! However I can't figure out how to write words in katakana and if there is a possibility to search for group of words such as #adjectives. A small FAQ would help a lot
Richard L June 13, 2016
Thank you for your feedback. Searching in hiragana also returns katakana results. A Japanese keyboard with katakana input is required to exclusively search for katakana words. The search results screen has some simple filtering options (tap "Search:Word" on the action bar to bring down a menu). Being quite frank, Google imposes a tight char. limit! Moving ads of doom This is a pretty awesome app, however, it's effing hard to concentrate when there's a man walking underneath your eye line or a tank driving just below you. Makes looking at this dictionary almost impossible. Kill the ads, charge a £1 for this app and I'll buy it. It's a good app being destroyed by moving ads, which is a shame. So for now 3 stars. Will upgrade rating to 5 when the ads of cak have gone.
Best dictionary This dictionary is way better than the one assigned for class. Gives the way to write kanji stroke by stroke and ive yet to not find a word. Dont even need a japanese keyboard to use it. It allows us of an english keyboard to type words so "hikari" when typed using the japanese side will be spelt with hiragana.
TOTALLY WORTH IT Had a minor hiccup but finally it's working again! Seriously wouldn't even dream of switching to a different dictionary. This one is complete already. Thank you developer!

Great! Glad you were able to solve your issue. Richard L May 6, 2016
Currently exporting bookmarks is a one way process. Re-importing is not yet supported. Sorry for the inconvenience. Galaxy mini Help, it stopped working suddenly T^T My phone would vibrate every time I tried to open it then a message would pop up saying application stopped working, do I want to force close (although the dictionary already closed) or report..

Thank you for your feedback. There appears to be a bug in the latest version of Google Play Services which causes this and will be fixed in their next update. I will keep an eye on the issue myself but there is little I can do sadly. Finally, a Japanese dictionary with accent markings. ＂一期一会/いちごいちえ/once-in-a-lifetime encounter (hence should be cherished as such)". Per NHK アクセント辞書, the accent mark is 5. Nice and neatly arranged and filtered verb and い/な adjective conjugations. Would be great to have actual pronunciation to reinforce memory. Although some headings do not have accent markings, Jisho is my go-to Japanese dictionary (Pleco for Chinese dictionary). Looking forward to active examples where every word is linked. 頑張ってありがとうございます. Bookmark states "full" at 500/1000?
