Finally, it works after moving all local dictionaries to the original data path. //Oh no. All dictionaries can't be loaded after the latest update, though they have been added to the new dictionary manager. //Can't believe it's still maintained. The pop-up dictionary doesn't work within 読書尚友. Please add custom font support. Thanks.

Probably the best Japanese dictionary viewer on android. Only problem I have is that there is no word search history, compared to the pc version.

I found an error that when I import star dict file (contain .dict, .ifo, .idx, .syn file) then it doesn't return any results (although it imports successfully). Please fix, I need to import Japanese-English-Japanese star dict.

Drop in usability and features Compared to WM Pocket (using it 5+ years) the android EB Pocket has fewer features and several usability issues: * Selection of a specific dictionary search/all dictionaries search is awkward * no search history, old search phrases have to be manually deleted * no select-copy, etc. * the professional version boasting all features is however available for only selected regions

Poor function Poor search function compared to wino version. Hard to manage dictionaries.
