The only Japanese dictionary worth paying for. An off-line english japanese dictionary which uses Jim Breen's JMDict (upgraded EDict)/KanjiDic2/WWWJDIC data along with data from the Tatoeba project. Does not require japanese keyboard. Internet access is used only to download the dictionary - the application itself works offline.
WARNING: Does not work correctly on some Galaxy Tabs 3, namely, the 10.1 Tab 3: users of 7" and 8" Tab tablets have reported that Aedict works correctly for them. Please do not buy this app if you own the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 device.
Features:
- allows kanji searching by parts/radicals, SKIP code search and by kanji drawing
- omnibar allows search by kana, romaji and/or english, german, french, Russian, Dutch, Portugalese, Spanish, Hungarian, Slovene, Swedish. Deinflects verbs automatically.
- powerful Japanese search: support for mixing kana and kanji (e.g. search for 見ため will also find 見た目), automatic vowel prolonging, e.g. しゅじん will also find しゅうじん.
- shows proper pitch accents for every word
- optionally shows romaji instead of hiragana/katakana.
- supports Hepburn, Nihon-Shiki and Kunrei-Shiki romanization systems
- JLPT/Joyo Quizes, with a simple SRS/Leitner support
- You can store entries in a notepad and practice the notepad contents with notepad quiz.
- Shows stroke order kanji diagrams (courtesy of KanjiVG), allows jlpt/Joyo Quiz kanji draw practice
- Samsung multi-window support, Japanese Names Dictionary support, shows verb conjugations
- Dropbox, OwnCloud and Aedict Online https://aedict-online.eu integration

- Kotowaza sentences dictionary taken from http://kotowaza.org/
- Export to AnkiDroid
- Add custom tags and colors to any dictionary entry
UPDATE NOTE: When updating Aedict, please also update all dictionaries, to gain access to the new features.
Aedict 3 needs to download the dictionaries which is cca 200mb download - please make sure that you are connected to the WIFI to avoid additional charges. Aedict 3 cannot use dictionaries used by Aedict 2.
Aedict 3 is based on Aedict 2.9 but introduces new Android 4 GUI. Aedict 3 works on Android 2.1 and greater.

Great tool for daily life as well as study Coming from iOS where I used an excellent Japanese dictionary, I'm more than happy to have this little pearl. Big points: multiple dictionaries, on the fly translation like rikaichan, great surrounding tools. Please get the paid version to support the development, worth every Yen!

The best and still getting better I've used all free Japanese dictionaries and this was the best. I bought the paid version to show my appreciation of the author, only to find out it was even better. With every update, it's getting even better. But of course, there are still improvements possible. One could be the kanji drawing pad, which is still inferior to Kanji Recognizer. Another could be adding more options to the quick action swipe menu, especially a "delete" option. I hope the author considers these suggestions for future updates.

Stuck on error. After fresh install it says, "failed to download dictionary from server." ive read the faq and tried changing download location and sim card. Any known remedy?

I am very sorry for that. If the app crashes, please try to use Android built-in report system to report the crash. Or, please let me know in more detail what's wrong at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aedict-users Martin Vysny2 June 5, 2016

Thank you very much. Please try the kanji drawing pad here and let me know if it is more accurate: https://aedict-online.eu/#!kanji-search - if this is more accurate, just purchase the KanjiPad extension: http://www.aedict.eu/kanjipadextension/index.html . Regarding "delete": added to RecentlyViewed, please let me know where else can I add it. Stuck on error.

I apologize for the crash. Would you please post an exact error message and a screenshot (or ideally a log: http://aedict.eu/faq.html Aedict 3 log ) to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aedict-users ? This way we can quickly resolve the issue. Just a great language app I love this app, and looking up different kanji by drawing them, is one of my favorite things to do plus it helps me learn stroke order and remember characters. I'd recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn Japanese
Martin Vysny2 May 27, 2016
Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear that Aedict is helpful Best Japanese Dictionary for Android First of all this is truly the best dictionary there is. I rely on this daily. I wish there was an easier way to export directly to Ankidroid, but that's minor compared to the amount of use I've gotten out of this app.
Martin Vysny2 June 20, 2015
Hi Steve, thank you very much for your kind words, I'm glad that you like Aedict. Please open Settings, UI Tuning, Max Entry Detail Columns and set the value to 1. Please let me know if this solves your problem. If not, please send me a screenshot of the screen in question to vysny@baka.sk Any chance of getting a periodic autoupdater for the dictionary files? The notification on launch is useful, but no notification and updated dictionaries would be even better :)
Martin Vysny2 May 27, 2016
Sure, no problem ;) Please let us discuss it here: https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/679 This is a very convenient dictionary, with a lot of great included features (such as practice quizzes). And the developer is very responsive to comments, which means this already great app keeps getting even better! Thanks! Favorite new features include: Pitch accent marks; Color-coded dictionary file list (showing which dictionary files have an update available).
Martin Vysny2 March 31, 2015
Thanks for your valuable feedback and thanks for the bug reports, they are making Aedict better ;) Fantastic! I use AEDict every day and have been consistently impressed by the author's attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
Martin Vysny2 May 7, 2016
Thank you very much for your kind support Martin Vysny2 November 12, 2014
Thank you, it's great to hear that Aedict works for you :) Martin Vysny2 April 14, 2016
Hi, I am not aware of any reinstallation issues. Can you please describe your problem more verbosely at aedict-users@googlegroups.com ? Also, if all else fails, simply uninstall the app and then install it back again. Martin Vysny2 April 15, 2016
Please make sure that you have newest Aedict 3.39.16 installed (you can check this via Android Settings / Apps). After the app is upgraded, please use Android built-in crash report system to report the crash. Some users have troubles upgrading though - if this is your case, please write me to vysny@baka.sk and we will resolve this issue. now working again! after the update ,now its back again and working, thank you aedict, thanks for your reply on my problem, one of my favorite app in my phone.
Martin Vysny2 April 9, 2016
I am very sorry for the crash. I can see the crash in my management console, fixing right now. Thank you very much for your patience. I know Aedict has been somewhat undertested as of late, adding more tests. Martin Vysny2 April 13, 2016
Thank you :) The perfect companion app for Japanese students at any level By far, Aedict3 is the best Japanese dictionary application I've used on any platform. It's functional beyond compare, can be used entirely offline, has unparalleled developer support, and only keeps getting better with each update. Worth every penny!
Martin Vysny2 March 15, 2016
Thank you :) My Favourite Japanese Dictionary I have tried just about every Japanese<->English dictionary available. This one's a keeper.
Martin Vysny2 March 15, 2016
Thank you :) Great app!!! It would be perfect if it's possible to show the accent of a word. Edit: wow, now that アクセントhas been included, this dictionary is now perfect!!!
Martin Vysny2 March 8, 2016
Hi Francisco, thank you very much. I am currently working on the accents, they will be available in Aedict 3.39.9. Next goal at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aedict ; please see here for progress: https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/634 Best Japanese Dictionary It may not be the most pretty or have the most downloads, but for me, as an exchange student in Japan, it was the best for the job. There are certainly parts that can get some improvement, like the examples detection, the inflections page and maybe the general appearance, but it doesn't miss any of the important features.
Martin Vysny2 March 4, 2016
The inflections page is definitely going to be improved, it periodically catches a lot of flak :) The examples detection: could you please open a feature request here: https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues and let me know the problem in more detail - thanks! glad to see that aedict is expanding. but what does this mean for users who have already paid for the app? (also small question: how can i remove the green tags from the entry screen? kanji: common etc)
Martin Vysny2 March 2, 2016
green tags: https://github.com/mvysny/aedict/issues/631 Aedict Online (AO): you can use the AO as a backup target of mobile Aedict; however to do that, you will need to subscribe to AO. Unpopular move, I know; yet I no longer can afford the luxury of two jobs (a regular job which pays the bills and Aedict). One has to go. You will decide which one Martin Vysny2 October 7, 2015
Thank you for letting me know. Regarding the "there" example sentence search: please upgrade to 3.38.2 and make sure you have newest dictionaries installed, the problem should be fixed.
Regarding the sentence analysis: you need to be in the "Search in Dict" mode in order for the analysis to kick in. Please send me a screenshot to vysny@baka.sk Amazing value for minimal price Out of all Japanese dictionary apps, this one offers the best support for kanji search, own notes, quizzing. The variety of dictionaries is amazing. This app has saved my life in many situations when I've needed to check something quickly on the fly and doesn't cost a fraction of a denshijisho's price. And, best of all, app developers take feedback into account very quickly, and each update actually does fix a problem instead of creating more, which is rare.
Martin Vysny2 March 4, 2016
Thank you very much, I am happy to hear that the fixes worked for you. You can also try the online version at https://aedict-online.eu which is basically the Android Aedict with the comfort of keyboard and mouse ;) Amazing First I would to thank you for this app amazing. It's really easy to use and we can send flashcard to Ankidroid which is great and really useful. I have just a problem with the app when I want to listen the pronunciation of a word. It's writing: "text-to-speech engine failed: unkown error (-1)" I use a Sony Xperia Z1 bought at Sony shop, Android 5.1.1 Thank you Kind regards
Martin Vysny2 January 27, 2016
Hi Fabrice, thanks, I'm glad that Aedict helps you. Regarding the text-to-speech (TTS) engine: it says that it does support Japanese, but it is unable to speak given word, because of "generic operation failure" - Android gives us no more information. Try to change TTS settings in your phone settings, and/or try to switch to a different TTS engine Perfect Japanese Dictionary Never pass up Aedict 3, and the KanjiPad extension. Work perfectly together, and very much the worth the price. A very much needed app for Japanese learners and for any contact with Japan. Make an Olympics 2020 edition and mop up on sales :-D
Martin Vysny2 February 8, 2016
:-D Thank you very much, I may indeed do so ;) At last Jim Breen's dictionary And with a lot of features including Anki export. A must have for anyone studying Japanese!
Martin Vysny2 January 27, 2016
Thank you, much appreciated Weekly updates ?!??? Almost not a single week without updates, basically bug fixes after bug fixes, but no significant change in the actual funcionnalities of the app. It also has the side effect to reset users votes, thus boosting the note in the store way above what the actual average user thinks of the app by conveniently removing the lesser positive reviews. I've had enough of it always popping up in my update list --> uninstall.
Martin Vysny2 November 2, 2015
Hi Paul, I released three bug-fixing versions last week, fixing crashes as soon as they were reported. If you do not like your apps to be updated, then please turn off automatic update in Google Play. Best android Japanese dictionary I've extensively tried many free dictionaries until I finally spent the small amount of money on this one. 100% worth it, makes looking up words and phrases more effective and allows for highly customizable anki export. Feedback is answered quickly and improvements applied speedily.
Martin Vysny2 January 22, 2016
Thank you for your kind review and for your feedback. Please upgrade to Aedict 3.39.5 and let me know if the fix works to your expectations :) Superb!!! Love the simplicity and detail of the app. Like how it updates all your dictionaries for you in the background so you don't have to worry. Only gripe is that you have to buy some other apps to complement it. Would be nice if the developer would offer them all in a bundle instead of buying them separately. Other than that very well thought out Japanese dictionary.
App is great and so is the developer! I've tested many Japanese dictionaries over the years and Aedict3 has to be the best and most sophisticated one available on the Play Store. There are so many useful features that other dictionaries pale in comparison. I have yet to search for a word that it couldn't find. Also, Aedict3's developer is really helpful and will promptly address any questions or requests you might have. If you are serious about your Japanese learning, this dictionary is definitely worth the money!
Martin Vysny2 January 18, 2016
Thank you very much for your kind words, please let me know if there is anything I can improve. Fantastic Incredibly helpful resource for learning, study, and practice. The kanji drawing is better if you have a stylus,but it's still useful. You can save vocabulary to anki flashcards, and there's a customisable practice quiz at every level.
Martin Vysny2 April 25, 2016
Thank you. Please let me know if there is anything you are missing. Best dictionary app I've ever used. It's very hard to impress me. I've been looking for a Japanese/English dictionary for a while and this is the best one I've found. The romaji search functions are really awesome because my main keyboard is a English/Korean keyboard and I don't always feel like switching into the Japanese keyboard to type. The fact that it gives you information on the kanji, as well as the conjugation of verbs has been very helpful in my Japanese class. I wish I had found this app earlier.
