Best JP dictionary app This app uses the JDict stuff publicly available, but it by far has the best interface of any dictionary I've used. I reference the conjugations and example sentences when I'm a little iffy on words I haven't used very much. One of my favorite features is the ability to write the character to look it up. This has been invaluable and saves so much time. There's also a wildcard feature to use "*" in combination with other kanji to find a word you don't completely remember. As someone living in Japan, this dictionary is my best friend and I recommend it whenever I can.
I'm actually writing this review because the author finally added the only feature I really felt was missing: pitch accents. Until now I've needed to listen to the audio clips or example sentences to work it out, or reference another application altogether, but this update has me thrilled. Thank you so much.
Cannot live without it when living abroad in Japan I started using this dictionary since I have started learning Japanese about 2 years ago. I must say, it is the best out of many others I have tried. The interface is clean and intuitive. The dictionary has probably 98% of what I am looking for, just mostly missing a few recent terms and slangs from the internet. It’s also good to see which vocabulary is a frequently used term versus infrequent ones. The vocabulary category lists is very useful, particularly for when I need to study before tests.
I would like to suggest a few things, although I understand it might be quite an effort to do so. There are many words means the same thing, but the nuance just simply don’t translate well into English. Sometimes the example sentences help, but many don’t have those examples. Maybe users can submit usage examples in the future?
When I am looking under the vocabulary list, I wish there is category for words that has a pattern of [xっxり], which is so often used in speech or written Japanese. If possible, maybe in the future I can make my own customize list(s) besides bookmarking in a giant one?
Lastly, I sometimes see grammar in the dictionary app but not really completely included. Probably grammar points alone would make a great separate app, but having it in one dictionary will be much appreciated.
I wish one day we may see a thesaurus app from the dev with both similar and opposite meaning words, too. But maybe I am asking too much already.
Anyway, it’s great to have a premium dictionary app that just works.
Really great dictionary Can search in Japanese or English, draw kanji, search in romaji, anything. Also gives partial matches to your search and other related things that contain what you searched for, and if, for instance, you search for something with a particle in it that you didn’t realize was a particle, it will recognize it and give you the base word and the particle. Also gives literally all of the different conjugations for literally almost every single word. Present, past, positive, negative, everything. Also has example sentences for everything. Really an amazing app. Highly recommend.
