About Popup Japanese Dictionary
Copy any Japanese word to look up its meaning, without leaving your current screen! Popup Japanese Dictionary is an offline Japanese dictionary app that lets you look up words just by copying text. Upon copying a word, a small window will float on the screen, showing the definition(s) of the selected word.
KEY BENEFITS: Dictionary lookups made convenient!

• Displays Japanese word meanings upon copying of the word, from any screen
• Word definitions will appear in a small translucent popup window, which floats on top of the screen
• Customizable appearance - Popup window can be resized, minimized and made translucent
• Use it on demand - Turn Popup Japanese Dictionary on when you want it to listen for copied words, and easily turn it off from the notification bar when you wish to disable the dictionary. Minimize the popup window when you want to conserve screen estate; it will be automatically restored the next time you copy a word.

The app doesn't work properly on Xiomi redmi 3. When I turn blue bottom on there are nothing at all. I mean no popup windows, only the icon on the top and its 'tap here to stop service', but it even didn't start working to stop it. :( Please fix it.

Excellent app. Very customizable, but simple as it should. One idea: adding a search history so we can review the kanji later.

I like that furigana is included with the translation and type of word. Excellent work. The only thing that would make it easier would be if the background weren't as transparent

This app can translate directly the words copied... I wish that there is an accuracy for the copied words because they are not shown unless you copy another word.. I also wish that this would be same for other mandarin dictionaries that shows all character definition even though they are not related as long as they are copied at the same time...

This is probably the closest you can get to browser extensions like Rikai. It is simply brilliant. I love that I can use it practically everywhere, be that a browser or an ebook. Love it!

Very useful app...BUT there needs to be an option to remove the app from being in the status bar constantly. It really isn't necessary for it to be there, and status bar real estate is in too much demand already.

Works as advertised! Neat additional features would be if you could use your own Japanese-Japanese epwing dictionaries and if by clicking on the definition you could save it in a separate text file or export it to the application Ankidroid

A pretty straightforward app. Copy some kanji text to the clipboard and the floating window gives you the definition. Some suggestions: fix the window disappearing bug whenever the orientation is changed, add the ability to translate more than just a single word, and show the romanization of words.

Make translate easier. If pop up box shortcut can be close from status bar, without entering setting .So, this app will be better.
