This app is a great dictionary and it’s formatted well. With that being said it’s not going to teach you words or how to speak or read Japanese it’s a guide not a teacher. I do recommend for more intermediate and advanced Japanese learning though the study cards are helpful and you can customize your decks.

It's a useful tool to learn japanese, to save a selected list of words (like work-related), to study kanji writing. I highly recommend it.

I've been using this app for years and I stand by it as the best vocabulary learning app for Japanese. I recommend it to my friends who want to learn Japanese. But I'd like to report that there's a bug where if I use the Text function, my app crashes out without warning. If possible, I'd love to use this feature again without this error! Thanks! 😊

App is great for what I need it for, it gives examples of its usage as well. The only problem I have with it currently is that if you use the speak function multiple times in a row, it tends to not work anymore. Which is unfortunate because I like to hear it read to me. I’m sure it’s a pretty simple bug in the software, and if it gets fixed I’ll bring it to five stars!

I’ve used this app for about 9 years now from when I first started learning Japanese. The fact that it is free and still running is impressive in itself. I frequently use it throughout my everyday and I have hundreds to thousands of points saved. I love the format and UI of their “lists” feature and study feature. I DO genuinely get scared every once in a while of somehow losing my data on this app and my 8-9 years of history of what I have learned.

Muy buena, pero me pasó que cambie de celular y perdí todas mis listas y flashcards. Estaría bueno poder hacerse una cuenta o que todo ese material se guarde en alguna nube para recuperarlo.

This was recommended to me, and I recommend it to you. It’s a dictionary. It doesn’t try to be anything else. This will seriously be the best one you’ll find. The built in flashcards are great too, and the ability to save words to custom decks is great. It’s never let me down, and I can’t recommend more.

Extremely useful. I have lists with thousands of words. This is how I drill kanji, I write some of my notes in here, I have created lists dedicated to certain subjects and conversations. It’s been a while since they’ve updated this app, but I use it all the same. Definitely useful if someone is wanting to study Japanese, and it’s a free alternative to anki that’s just as good. Also, no ads, no payments, nothing but learning and knowledge. I wish the devs would update the app a bit to include some words and phrases like 盗み入り、メシウマ、行目、係決め、班別、which I’ve heard but seem to be more obscure. However, it’s a great app

Voice reading is bugged. It says the first entry, then is silent for all others until you reset the app. And does it again for only the first search entry.
