What's New in imiwa?

5.4.1

September 5, 2026

A new interactive way to explore kanji, an in-app appearance override, and a bunch of readability and accuracy fixes. KANJI Discover how kanji relate to each other with a new interactive graph. Start from any kanji, see the components it's built from, then branch out to every other kanji that shares them — moving through the whole web of connections at a tap. Tapping a font variant tile now opens a large, swipeable view of that character. APPEARANCE OVERRIDE A new Appearance setting lets you force Light or Dark mode for the app, independent of your device's system-wide setting. READABILITY IMPROVEMENTS Furigana and romaji on example sentences are now easier to read, and several text and chart elements scale better with larger accessibility text sizes. AND SEVERAL FIXES We listen to your feedback and have fixed a number of problems in this release too!

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.

Perfekt

Seit Jahren die Nummer 1 wenn es um präzise Übersetzung geht, seit kurzem endlich mit modernem Design. Super App.

Avant/après

Quelle erreur cette mise à jour!!!! Elle était parfaite cette appli !!! Pourquoi l’avoir changée?????

Лучшиеее!!!

Я не могу передать радости от того, что нашла такое прекрасное приложение! Спасибо огромное! Оно и переводит все возможные слова, и кандзи показывает! Если захотите апдейт добавить: было бы классно сделать тренировку кандзи от руки. Но и так 10 из 10 どもありがとうございます🫶🏻

S’il n’y a qu’une application à garder, c’est celle-ci

J’utilise imiwa? depuis maintenant plusieurs années. Mais ces dernières semaines ont apporté tellement de nouveautés fabuleuses : les flashcards, la grammaire de Tae Kim, un analyseur bien plus puissant… Et c’est gratuit. Entièrement. Sans pub. Même pas besoin de connexion internet. C’est un outil formidable pour apprendre le japonais, de loin le meilleur que vous pourrez trouver sur l’App Store.
Un grand merci à l’équipe fantastique derrière imiwa? ! 本当にありがとうございます!
