Poco práctica

La versión anterior era muy útil porque ayudaba mucho a entender el significado de la palabra y desarrollaba cada kanji minuciosamente, esta versión no es muy productiva para quienes estamos aprendiendo el idioma.

Unverzichtbar

Die App für alle im japanischen Umfeld

RIP old app

Updated iOS and App has been rendered UNRECOGNIZABLE and RUINED by vibe-coded nonsense. An app that was perfectly reliable and satisfactory for several YEARS with NO demand or need to be completely demolished and replaced with a generic-looking bubbly gen AI interface that is bulky and unintuitive, plus a garish new icon that makes me feel embarrassed to use it. I hope the developer realizes that there are many Japanese dictionary apps available, and the reason why we all used this one was the UI and set of features it had, and by changing all of that it is no longer the app we know and love. Sadly I may have to look for a new app for serious learners

Recent update is game changer

Longtime user of the app and others like it. After this most recent update (big change!!) I just felt inclined to come on and say great job — so many new features and it’s all pretty intuitive. Many tanks. The app is now 10x more useful.

Best Japanese app

Not just a dictionary for me all the extras for reading and teaching Japanese in one app. Love it, using it since I started learning Japanese 4 years ago, app development better then my Japanese and that’s just because of my laziness:D

Feature requests

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.

Perfekt

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

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!

名詞の性

結構前はドイツ語で男性名詞か中性名詞か女性名詞か分かるようになっていたけど、いつのまにか分からない仕様になっていたのが残念。

Do all good things have to go?

What a shame to have changed such a wonderful app, that worked perfectly and helped us so much for so many years. Please someone else, make the same design and functionality as before again!

Very good but a suggestion

Hey, this is very awesome, could be the best in the category, all for free! How generous

but I have one suggestion

since the search is running for lots of things, the result comes a little delayed.
Other app would instantly shows the result on character input

I wonder if we can have a settings to narrow the search
I don’t need it to search example text, most of the time I just want to search for the vocab and will see the example text within the word card

Best Japanese dictionary app ever since iphone was a thing

Super stoked the app is getting an update, been using it since maybe 15 years ago. I don’t need to look up Japanese as often now as I’m better with the language but I will forever keep this amazing app

The new UI

This was my fav app but I’m sorry the new UI is so annoying. Before it would automatically copy and paste into the app and literally show you the whole translation word for word and you click on the words you want to dissect.

Now you gotta slap it into the tiny search bar and go to a tab to do it. It’s a small thing but the previous one was so perfect now I’m salty.

Superbe mise à jour, mais…

Bonjour.
Une excellente appli depuis des années déjà, de très bonnes mises à jour, cependant, je trouve l’ordre des kanjis (trait par trait) beaucoup trop lent… Etant en boucle, il ne serait pas gênant que ce soit un peu plus rapide, voire comme c’était avant.
