Bookmark Enhancement
Swift and useful dictionary app. But the bookmark function seems way too primitive and 2 basic features are needed:
1. User’s note for bookmarked item;
2. Bookmark export as csv file (including user’s notes).

INDISPENSABLE tool for a lifelong Japanese learner and translator!
Things I love:
-Clean design, very easy to use and lots of visibility and other settings (font size, search order)
-AMAZING content (everything from learners dictionaries to big expensive unabridged dictionaries like Reader's, Random House, and Kenkyusha, and the Robert French-Japanese dictionaries). This has replaced my trusty old Casio Electronic Dictionary.
-One purchase is shareable between all devices-- I use this app and its contents on my iphone, ipad, and Mac, syncing seamlessly.
-Great support: whenever I have had any issues, I get polite and helpful replies from the Japanese staff.
Things that could get better:
-Just keep adding content. The Kanjigen kanji dictionary, and the Kenkyusha Shin Ei-Wa Daijiten are two that I would be very excited about.
-To people who aren't used to spending money on a dictionary, relying on free dictionary databases, or the internet, I would just say that I've found the quality of definitions and examples to always be worth the price in the long run!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Errors
I cannot restore or update dictionaries that I bought. It says there is an unexpected error and I need to force restart iOS. I did force restart many times, but it does not work. I have plenty free storage space left, so that should not be the problem.
Also, sync issues: devices do not have the exact same number of bookmarks.

Great English and Japanese Dictionaries on the App Store
I love the user interface and the contents of bilingual dictionaries inside this app
However updating the dictionaries inside this app is still a problem since it forces me to sign to my iCloud account as my iTunes account is not the associated Apple ID (updating the app from the App Store is ok though)
I do hope that there would be any solution for this any time soon
Thanks for listening to my feedback anyway

I have purchased seven dictionaries and none of them can be installed
Great app I must say, tried force restart device for about an hour, didn’t work, great experience otherwise... hope there is way to fix it permanently.
Thanks for fixing the problem
Now I could restore and download the dictionary.

In the Kogo dictionary 5th ed, example sentences in search mode display as question marks. iOS 14 iPhone 12.

The macOS version has been released and can be downloaded from the Mac App Store.
Great for Japanese, but Missing a Crucial Feature
First off, I love that this app combines multiple dictionaries in one.
For me this is useful because I first look in the 三省堂 dictionary since it is a bit easier to understand and has shorter definitions. However I often have to look in a more complete dictionary like 大辞林 for more complicated things. This app lets me do that with a single search!
One feature that I feel is crucial, but this app is lacking, is the option to export your bookmarks. This could help users e.g. to make digital flash cards from bookmarked entries.
