Absolutely fantastic app!
Finally, a dictionary and grammar app with a stunning interface, seamless interoperability between the purchased modules, and overall terrific UX. Thanks for not including nasty telemetry or trackers. Excellent job. I've purchased multiple dictionaries as in-app purchases and recommended this app to friends interested in acquiring Oxford University Press dictionaries.

An Essential Resource for Advanced Learners
This is an incredible resource for high-intermediate and advanced J>E, or E>J learners. The ability to seemless move between dictionaries and resources is incredible and saves hours of time.
Nice APP！
But a spotlight integration would be even better
Best dictionary app for N2/N1 level learners
This app provides access to all the dictionaries you’d have found on the old 電子辞書 devices, for reasonable prices. The app itself is well designed and easy and quick to use.
The jump function (essential for Japanese learners) is a little fiddly to use as you have to select the text to search very quickly before the menu appears. Other than that, it’s pretty much perfect.

WARNING about this developer
Some users have reported here that dictionaries they've purchased have become unavailable to reinstall. I bought a Collins Spanish Dictionary from Cole Zhu Inc that had exactly the same interface as these ones from Monokakido. When I replaced my iPad and tried to access the app on my new iPad I got an error saying the app was "currently unavailable in your App Store." This is totally unacceptable for a dictionary app. I don't know if Monokakido changed its name from Cole Zhu Inc or bought the dictionary interface, but they should have given some thought to existing users. And SHAME on Apple for not standing by us and making sure that apps remain available to users who buy them. I'm totally disgusted after this experience. No wonder people don't want to pay for dictionary apps. It's really the worst kind of customer service, and it's about more than the money when it would be so easy for Apple to provide the app to people who paid for it.

OALD
I wanted to buy it but noticed it works online. Why wouldn’t you add full offline support for this one? I read when I go somewhere and I won’t be able to listen examples only a word, why? I have a lot of memory on my phone and what use of it.
Works - barely
No bugs that I can see, but can't zoom in / change the font size. No help option in the menus.
Perfect
Monokakido’s app spoils me. It’s perfect. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and full of pleasant surprises. I’ve purchased many dictionaries from them and have never regretted any. Compared to quality printed dictionaries, they are very affordable and there is simply no downside to buying digital. Only upside - it’s with you on all devices, you can look at your history to learn better, and the pattern based search makes finding things far easier than paper.
And Monokakido doesn’t stand still. New dictionaries are released often. Just as one example, I looked today to see that my favorite grammar dictionary was just added and is on sale. It’s almost as if the company is reading my mind.
I hope Monokakido considers publishing more of the world’s dictionaries over time. Their style, attention to detail, and love for dictionaries make this app a true gem.

Best Japanese Learning and Reference App
This application works so well when you have multiple high quality dictionaries that you will never want to use anything else again! They recently added a grammar dictonary as well. So when you input something to look up, you are given a whole range of knowledge depending on what books you purchase in the app. It is fast and well polished and it only gets better as time goes on with more book options being added all the time. This is the one app that keeps me on Apple devices!
