Thanks for adding search-on-copy. Can you please also add "tab" to select searchform, and larger font size on Mac? 🙏

Avant/après

Quelle erreur cette mise à jour!!!! Elle était parfaite cette appli !!! Pourquoi l’avoir changée????? Tout a changé. Retrouver des mots devient plus dur. Avant il suffisait de les écrire même en romaji. Maintenant si on omet une apostrophe, on ne trouve pas. Même pour les exemples, tout était plus clair. Vraiment grosse déception !!!!!

Why redesign?

I have been using imiwa? for years, the recent redesign makes entirely unusable. What is the reason for this? Bring back the old one!

Analysator: Furigana and Romaji way too small

It‘s great that you keep updating the app! Legibility is better now, after the most recent update. One more point: please change it so that the Analysator does not reset after one switches to another app - it makes creating flashcards so much harder because I keep having to re-enter my sentence.

Brilliant Japanese dictionary

I’ve used this app as my primary dictionary for many years. I love that it works offline and has a wealth of features like word conjugation. And it’s free! It’s practically perfect.
