  • The Best 日本語の辞書アプリ

    This is the beat Japanese Dictionary. The app is good that I’m even thinking of august suing 50 for the line time option. I might just do it to. This is an app which will be extremely useful for anyone that’s a at a stage of formulating sentences in Japanese and wants to begin learning kanji. For each word there are so many sentence examples. Plus you can search for particles, kanji symbols too where they even highlight all their different readings and then link it to words where it is found.

    Well done to the creators!

    I'm so glad you like the app! I'm a solo developer, so reviews like this are what really keep me going. Thank you! 😊
  • Beautifully designed and incredibly feature-rich

    I've been happily using Imiwa? for nearly 10 years, but Nihongo really takes the cake. It's obvious a lot of thought was put into the design. Not only is it beautiful, but packs an incredible number of features into a simple and intuitive design. The ability to add furigana or romaji to any webpage is fantastic. Being able to see example sentences and tapping through to the entries for words you don't know is awesome. This is my new go-to Japanese dictionary.

    As a solo indie developer, this review totally made my day. So glad you're enjoying the app! Thank you! 😃
  • Excellent app!

    I didn’t expect it to be this good! You get sentence examples, common readings, vocabulary, a radical keyboard, stroke order, JLPT classification, and if you pay (nice affordable prices also) you can get flashcards, audio, quizzes and much more. Responsive and easy to use. It also tells you if a word is used in daily language or not. If you have an iPad, you can split the screen. Very underrated app. It would be nice if you could search for a kanji using handwriting though. 😁

    Just added search for kanji using handwriting in the latest update. Enjoy! 😁
  • Learn stroke order and see example sentences!

    This app is a great resource when I want to quickly look up and practice the stroke order of a particular kanji. I like the examples they provide as well as conjugation. Highly recommended !
  • Excellent Learning Companion

    I have been using this app for years now and it’s my favourite Japanese dictionary. The developer has added many new features, and even emailed to let me know a feature I had requested years earlier had been implemented.
  • 好き!

    Very helpful!
  • Wish the Safari extension had OCR functionality

    If the creator can confirm that in-browser OCR functionality is in development, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the perpetual license. I would love to be able to read manga from comico without redrawing all the kanji (via the simplified chinese handwriting keyboard) and keeping the ipad in split screen mode to use nihongo's dictionary.

  • Great app, with one big issue ...

    The volume level seems to be preset, and there seems to be nothing I can do to make it louder. Please fix this!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback, I'd love to fix this. Unfortunately, the speech volume is set to the loudest that Apple makes available. But I wonder if there's something else going on. If you can answer a few questions that might help me figure out what's going on.Are you using headphones, or just the device speakers? Are you playing music in the background at the same time? Please follow up with me at chris@serpentisei.com. Thank you!
