Very good app! I'm using the 'kanji of the day' widget mostly. I would give it 5 stars if the TTS worked to check pronunciation.

If I search a sentence example of a verb, please also include sentences with the other forms of the verb.

PLUS the FREE version has the SAME features as the paid one, which the developer calls the donate version! The info page for WWWJDIC Donate says in part: "Try the free version first, and buy this one if you find it useful. Features are the same." How cool is that?!? I just finished reviewing & then uninstalling Takoboto. I compared it to WWWJDIC, so you might find that review helpful. Thanks to the developer for all your hard work!

T70%
by T####:

But is there a way to hear the japanese words we look up? For learning pronunciation and such?

D70%
by D####:

I looked up a Kanji and it will not connect to online. My Galaxy Note is connected by wifi and connects to my browser.

L70%
by L####:

The need for proper strokes is not for a newbie like me. Only know about 350 kanji. I can guess some of the order but still it is still not accurate enough. Without the handwriting ability, this app is no different than other similar apps. I prefer tangorin, purely for the GUI which i found less confusing.

G70%
by G####:

Only downside is that after a couple days of use it shows the Kanji recognizer as in "off line mode" no matter what mirror is selected. Not even reinstall fixes this. EDIT: Thank you for the reply. In that case 5 stars, because this is the best dictionary app on the market hands down.

R70%
by R####:

Of all the things I have tried searching for it has only ever returned one result. Can't find any instructions and the FAQ is no help either. Waste of space.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great app! Could you add "clear all" cross button in the search field like here on the Market?

Z70%
by Z####:

OCR doesn't work

U70%
by U####:

I love the example sentences and the way there are word for word translations provided. I wish I had this for books!

P70%
by P####:

This is such a great app for such an amazing project. Please support this dev. A widget would be great too!!! Hint hint.

Z70%
by Z####:

Excellent!! update: the latest update completely ruined the ocr feature... it returns zero results even when im trying out super simple kanjis like 一 or 女. Please fix.. or is there a way to undo an update?

Q70%
by Q####:

I get zero results from even the simplest searches. Finally even tried just the character "小" as the object of kanji lookup, English translation, stroke count, etc. (with various dictionary selections). All searches returned "0 result(s)". I hope this useless outcome is temporary, but the status of the app's web page is not encouraging. This app review process is the only apparent support option.

T70%
by T####:

APP DOES NOT WORK. I love the JDIC website, but this app is broken. I cannot search any term. I search up "airport" it gives no results. I'm using general library and English word search, still nothing. Please help!

T70%
by T####:

But is there a way to hear the japanese words we look up? For learning pronunciation and such?

M70%
by M####:

I love the browser version, but I wish I could look up actual kanji words anf see what they read like together. Whenever I try to search kanji words, it never gives me the reading together. They are separated into two kanjis.

Y70%
by Y####:

Absolutely perfect app. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the icon. It just doesn't look that good.

T70%
by T####:

I think. This app is vital for student who studing japanese language. Thank you!

C70%
by C####:

Lots of usage example meanings too...thanks Nikolay...hope your Japanese adventure continues!

T70%
by T####:

Doesn't translate for me, but it is the only app that saw words in a picture!

P70%
by P####:

Had issues calling up sample sentences and definitions. Fixed it when I turned off the default setting configured for auto mirror select.

by E####:

Thank you~ This app is really useful for me, a handy dictionary~

Y70%
by Y####:

My phone memory is almost full and I have no desire to download the Japanese TTS files. But every time I click on an entry, it tries to invoke TTS and then complains I don't have TTS on my phone. I'm fine with the kana for pronunciation; no need to hear the audio.

T70%
by T####:

My favourite app. Improved my vocabulary a lot. Thanks!

T70%

Nice

The best you can find.

T70%
by T####:

I downloaded this and didn't use it immediately. I am surprised how great this dictionary is. Three ways to search: word, kanji, or sentence examples. I wish I could upload screenshots to show what I mean. Great for anyone studying Japanese.

M70%
by M####:

The handwriting recognition in this app is the best I have found. It finds the right kanji every time. There are still some technical issues with it though. Some of the icons at the bottom of the app do not work and the history and favorite icons are swapped. It also doesn't do a very good job of keeping search history

M70%
by M####:

It gets the job done, and it syncs well with Anki, too!

M70%
by M####:

Awesome app, i'm just having trouble wth studying frequent kanji, and I am wondering, in the individual kanji info, what is the frequency rating, and how does it work?
