### 3/5 — 修正を望みます

*2026-03-15*

Basic時代に比べてLightバージョンはbuggyです。串刺し検索が働かず、広辞苑は選ぶと落ちます。辞書によって外字が豆腐になりフランス語などでアクセント記号付きだと表示できません

### 5/5 — Thanks for excellent GUI.

*2023-03-18*

Keep improving the app!

### 3/5 — Crash after entering search item.

*2023-02-03, version 2.48.0*

Still experiencing crashes using large amount of dicts >100.

### 3/5 — 怎么追加词典啊，压根没找到选项

*2021-12-21*

真的好奇，怎噩梦追加词典啊

### 2/5 — iPhone XR できない

*2020-11-26*

この前機能いいのに、最近は全然出来なかった

### 3/5 — 闪退

*2020-11-11*

闪退，拜托修复

### 5/5 — 最好的日语词典

*2020-08-01*

最好的日语词典，没有之一。说不好的人，估计是不知道怎么下载词典，不会设置。

### 4/5 — アップデートはもう出ない？

*2020-07-14*

長年使わせていただきました。以前Androidで使ったときは串刺し検索で検索すると、インストールした全ての辞書からの検索結果が分かりやすく一覧に出てとても良かったのですが、iPhoneに変えた後いくら辞書を導入したとしても、串刺し検索を使う時、結局同時に最多三つの辞書からの結果した表示できないようになりました。プロフェショナル版ではどうなんでしょうか。もしこの問題解消できたら、プロフェショナル版を検討してみたいのですが。それともアップデートあるいは再インストールで解消できるものでしょうか。

先日書かせていただいたこのコメントですが、プロフェショナル版をダウンロードして解消しました!

### 2/5 — 用了很久

*2020-05-08*

换了11后，切换键盘按钮（搜狗）放在左下角，字典那里显示不出来，无法从中文改成日文

### 5/5 — 長期ユーザです

*2019-09-28*

ウィンドウズ7アンドロイド版ウィンドウズ版を使っているが、それと特に遜色なく使える。しかしながら、検索履歴が表示されない1日使った後最後にどんな文字を検索した間もかを復讐していた叔母がそれができないのは悲しい
