         Aedict Japanese Dictionary- screenshot

      An english-japanese dictionary which uses Jim Breen's EDICT data. Does not require japanese keyboard. Internet access is used only to download the dictionary - the application itself works offline. Features: radical search, kanjipad, kanji analysis, SKIP search, optionally shows romaji instead of hiragana/katakana

      Developing Aedict is not free. Please consider purchasing an improved version of Aedict (with new GUI, supporting new dictionary formats) for $5 (one beer). Do not worry though: I will keep Aedict 2.9 available forever.

      User friendly I use this as a personal dictionary and translation. Very useful. Had no problems on my note3 and previous phone galaxy 2 so It's definitely worth to install.
      A Google User
      Very Good But, SendTo & Backup Problems The SendTo option in version Aedict 2.94 doesn't appear to work. Aedict 2.94 Notepad's Backup option appears useless for upgrading, as Aedict 3 (pay version) doesn't recognize it or won't import it.
      Leo Sambonet
      By far the best dictionary I've ever seen It shows the meaning of the words, sentence examples, and even what each kanji means and it's stroke order!
      Ghost Hunter
      Not practical- Avoid it. This dictionary is not practical for everyday use in Japan. For example: I search the word 'caress', but no match for the common verb 撫でる. I found out I must type 'to caress' for the match to come up. Totally ridiculous. Another example- I search 'eat', and the most common word 食べる shows way down 10th on the list. Stupid. Also, there's no common word search filter, no kanji search, no bookmarking, and basically no user options. Don't waste your time. JSHO dictionary app is much, much better. Check it out.

      Best Dictionary out there This should be a model for dictionary app makers across the planet. I love how words researched within the app are shown in sample sentences. Intuitive.

      Simply the best Thank you helped me many times. If I could I would give it 10 stars

      This dictionary is no longer in active development and seems quite dated. There actually is a newer version of it called AEDICT 3 by the same developer.

      Best App I have used Jim Breen's online Japanese dictionary for well over a decade so finding this app for my phone was a godsend. Until I purchased the newer version, I used this app EVERY DAY to look up everything from song lyrics to unknown kanji in a friend's G+ post as well as doing a daily notepad quiz! The newer app is even better than this one but I still highly recommend this basic version.

      Best Dictionary App! I've tried so many Japanese to English apps and vice versa. So far, this is the best. The other ones are confusing and very busy. This one gets straight to the point when you look up a word. Love it!
