Comments on Smart Japanese Dictionary for Android

★★★★★ Toure Taylor · Oct 14, 2022
I'm using this app to learn some Japanese Vocabulary.
★★★★☆ Knittely · Oct 22, 2025
Pros: + Can scan photos + Both JP only and EN<->JP dict Cons: - UI could be improved a bit, but you find everything you need (very minor issue) - Everything is online: Photo scanning, Video advertisement and even the dictionary is online, so the app requires quite a bit of mobile data if used outside.
★★★★★ Laura Tanaka · Feb 24, 2022
This app is nice. I like how it gives synonyms for the words, so it helps you learn nuances.
★★★★★ Nina Wolf · Nov 23, 2024
I've never used it. Never opened the app, never gotten notifications. But I like it 10/10 would definitely recommend ❤️
★☆☆☆☆ Chris Spencer · Jan 16, 2024
Awful. No way to lookup kanji. Search returns very random entries. I typed in both "7" and "seven" and it wouldn't even give me the entry for 7, much less the kanji. The other tabs are just shortcuts to an embedded Google browser tab, so if you already have a web browser on your phone (which you do) you don't need this app.
★☆☆☆☆ Pi · Feb 15, 2025
The scan, dictionary and history buttons at the bottom overlap with the minimise, close and back/exit buttons on the phone, making the app unusable.
★☆☆☆☆ abhisar jindal · Mar 9, 2018
Not worth it!!! The app did not recognize even a single word. However, you can type a word to get the meaning. Still the app is not worth a download!!!
