It's an excellent app. You can even search for expressions and proverbs, and it also provides examples in context. It would be nice if there was the option to search for the manually written Kanji in the Android version too. It's very useful on the iPad and I miss it when I'm using the app on my android phone.

I've been using this app for a very long time, and it's always my go to for reference and when I need to look up words. Really easy to use, works super quick. I highly recommend this for anyone needing a Japanese-English dictionary on the go. めっちゃ役に立つアプリだと思います。

Please fix the study section, it seems like it has a bug where the cards don't appear and will not appear even after deleting cache, force stopping. But will appear when all progress is reset using the 'delete app data' in settings. Also tried importing the backup, yet the bug is still present. Perhaps it's a data saving issue. P. S: Will update review after fix, thanks!

I really want to like this app. And I did like it a lot. But it feels over time gets more and more buggy. Sometimes no results are found, and there are just random placeholder kanji scrolling from right to left. If the weird bugs were fixed, it would be an easy 5 stars. Alas, that is not the case right now. It is a shame, all the necessary functionality is in there, if only it just worked right.

This app used to be good. Now it's terrible. Not only do my saved lists keep getting deleted on some updates, but they've removed important settings around what shows up when you're studying. I'm trying to study kanji and guess the pronunciations of the characters, but the app is providing the pronunciations! And I cannot figure out for how to change it.
