Still a great App
I have been using this dictionary for years and it’s only gotten better so far. On top of the offline compatibility, flash cards and wealth of information available, more has been added that is a welcome addition. These include stroke order animations for Kanji, a kanji scanner through the camera, and even just playing audio of the word when seeing it on a flash card. These additions only reaffirm to me that this is the best Japanese dictionary bar none. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to better their Japanese proficiency.

Best app for Japanese vocabulary
When I first purchased I was a bit skeptical on whether the one-time full purchase was worth it, but this app is definitely one of the best when it comes to Japanese vocabulary.
It has a clean UI, it’s easy to use, and has extremely helpful writing/flashcard sections that truly drill memorization. The developer, Chris, is also extremely responsive to feedback and is clearly passionate about improving and maintaining the quality of the app.
Highly recommend purchasing if you’re serious about learning Japanese. It’s such a quick and easy to use resource; having it on hand at all times for refreshers, vocabulary drills, or dictionary lookups is truly worth it.

The best Japanese learning tool
I love being able to study kanji by school grade and JLPT level. I really like that the app tests you on stroke order as well. Also, being able to add furigana and word definitions to web pages is such a great experience. This app is hands down the best Japanese learning tool that I have and I highly recommend it to all learners.
The app is always getting updates/upgrades and is well worth the money spent!

Really nice app!
Really nice interface, available offline (which is super helpful) and has really useful information like common/uncommon next the words which I think distinguish it well from other Japanese dictionary apps
Fantastic and essential
I’ve tried many Japanese apps and I’ve found this to be incredibly useful and has some unique helpful features, e.g. the “contained words” feature which helps breakdown compound kanji. The subtle kanji practice feature when I discovered was an unexpected delight and is fantastic. The clippings and translate feature is great. The developer cares and listens. I requested a font size adjustment feature in translation and it was delivered, and it’s very useful. Can’t recommend this app high enough. For serious students, absolutely worth every penny. Update: in future, would be great if it had handwriting support for input also.

Response from developer
Just added handwriting support in my latest update! 😁
If I could give this 6 stars I would
Essential for any Japanese language learner! You can literally screenshot a page of Japanese text, and every single kanji or word will be highlighted that leads you to a definition of that word, automatic stroke order animation, and a hundred other things I haven’t even begun to explore yet. Best part? The Lifetime Pro membership is $50 FOR LIFE. Thank you to whoever made this app. I want to be you when I grow up.

Needs Work
The OCR is very accurate, but every other aspect needs development to compete with other MUCH cheaper dictionary apps . There is no analyzer to dump the OCR text to a list, for starters. No handwriting input. The whole things feels unfinished, and the pricing is downright silly. Yomiwa costs $13 one time and does way more, though with an uglier interface. If you don’t need OCR, Midori is also much better.

Nice App-Pricey
This is a neat app with lots of features like flashcards, example sentences, and stroke order. However, it's very pricey and there are many other apps with almost the same features that are free. Shirabe Jisho, for example, is almost the same app and it even uses the same example sentences. Shirabe Jisho has added flashcards for different JLPT and grade level kanji. For now, I will save my $50 for the lifetime subscription.

I love the pro version
An excellent free dictionary, but the upgrades are totally worth the price to jump into. I love taking pictures and adding to a deck. I’ve been using pics to create my own flash cards. The testing is fun too. It’s also nice having a backup, in case you don’t have asset to the internet.
