Tab separatd not working
Great dictionary but can't export out in a usable format. Please fix
This app is so good it shouldn’t be free.
Multi radical Kanji search, example sentences, search by romaji (so no need to use Japanese keyboard!), kanji ordered by Japanese grade level and JLPT exam... The list of amazing features this app has just goes on and on. Not to mention all with a seamless, intuitive UI. I am a college student studying Japanese, and this app is incredibly helpful for not only understanding meanings of words, but the numerous example sentences help capture the nuance (the hardest part of a word to learn) as well. Get this app if you know what’s good for you.

Outstanding resource
I recently discovered the auto clipboard lookup feature, it’s just so useful I felt compelled to leave a review. As someone self studying Japanese this is such a valuable resource. The only improvements I can think of would be more options to turn off displaying some information. It can be a bit overwhelming to have so much information displayed, I want to be able to trim the fat so to say.
ありがとございます。

Helps family communication
I have a Japanese family from my wife’s side. We use LINE to chat and being able to just copy any message to the clipboard and have it automatically translated as soon as I open Imiwa is a godsend 🙏
Absolutely recommend!
Free, easy to use, lots of words search from English or Japanese. Display ways to draw Japanese Kanji as well. Love it!

Best cross reference dictionary.
It has good example of sentences, and it's easy to check what the meaning is of the kanji.
Everything else out there is junk.

Uses too much storage
This stupid app uses too much storage and doesn’t help me WHATSOEVER
Decent “kanji dictionary” held back by poor translations
While using this dictionary as an abroad student, I’ve been able to get a lot of use from it to help my Japanese learning, however the app has some big glaring issues.
+
The kanji database and info is great, usually giving clear definitions, as well as added Chinese readings.
-
Main issue lies with fact that the definitions for non simple words are usually poor. Either a group of synonyms can have the same translation with no nuance, or the translations are too broad with sometimes 12 different meanings.
Moreover, the example sentences for words are near useless, with suspect Japanese translations, and sometimes fully incorrect English translations. They’re almost always overly complicated and hard to understand.
In summary, a good kanji app, that will sometimes help you understand a Japanese word’s English meaning.

Pretty good but...
On iPadOS 13, 11 inch the settings menu starts halfway down and isnt able to scroll up or down, or exit it so need to restart the app.
Also means I can’t turn off the other languages that I don’t use (French,Italian,German) so the interface is messy.
Otherwise a solid app.

Great free app
I like the features of this app a lot, but I do wish that there was a way to deselect a word after accidentally adding it to a list.
