### 3/5 — Useful app for pitch accent with some caveats

*2025-10-17, version 3.1.9*

The app is useful for its original intended purpose but the AI additions are gimmicky. I see there is an option to turn AI explanations off now, which is handy. I suspect some of the entries themselves are AI generated, as are the pronunciations, albeit in very realistic voices. I’ve noticed examples of database entries showing and speaking pronunciations for readings that don’t exist in Japanese, for example, giving an on’yomi reading and audio recording for something that is only ever read in kun’yomi.

### 4/5 — Its great!

*2024-10-18*

I use this app a lot to help me determine the pitch accent of a word so I can speak more naturally. This app is very helpful with that. Although, I do find that sometimes I cannot find a pitch accent of a word. Are words being added to Jaccent? Also a note to the developers I think a cool thing you could make is maybe a guide to pitch accent. With lessons and how it works. Just a suggestion. I highly recommend this!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much — we’re really glad Jaccent is helping you with pitch accent and more natural speech. Some words may still be missing from the dictionary, and we’re always working to improve coverage; your idea for a pitch accent guide with lessons is a great suggestion too. We really appreciate the recommendation!

### 3/5 — Display Problems

*2024-09-25*

This is seems good, but I am unable to full appreciate it because of a bug which prevents content from being displayed.

Most screens are not displayed and are instead replaced with a solid gray screen. The kanji tab works, but the actual definition screen does not, basically making the dictionary useless. I also cannot access the profile tab and chatbot. The flashcards tab is just a loading circle.

I have been trying to use this app for a few months, but it these issues are preventing me from doing so. I’m not sure if others are experiencing such issues, but I would appreciate is they could be resolved. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our app and for taking the time to share your feedback! The issue you experienced may have already been fixed in the latest version. Please update the app to the latest version and give it another try. We hope it works well for you!

### 4/5 — 是否可以改善耳機連線問題

*2024-03-29, version 3.0.6*

查詢單字很好用，但播放發音的時候聲音不能從耳機出聲音。

### 5/5 — 很實用

*2024-01-12, version 3.0.4*

只是沒辦法用藍芽耳機播放，會切換到手機本身的音源

### 4/5 — Review Update post improvements

*2023-11-22*

So i do still like this app for its availability of pitch accent information, though most of the quality of life/efficiency of use changes i hoped for in my first review are still lacking. Those being: lack of an option to have the Japanese swipe keyboard be the default and appear upon search bar entry; the search history not being accurate at all; the option for a search bar clear/reset upon each return to the app (shirabe jisho does this excellently). 
a new issue is actually that upon clearing the search bar, the keyboard disappears, requiring me to click on the search bar again.
the AI was an odd but not unwelcome addition. though i don't find myself using it unless a word isn't in the app's database, in which case the AI usually can give me a definition. 
Still a 4 star app to me because of how much i use it, but it feels like a weak 4 with how sluggish using it can feel sometimes. 
Thank you to the developers, regardless! I know you guys are doing your best

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful update and for sticking with the app — we’re glad the pitch accent info is still useful to you. We also appreciate the specific feedback about the search flow, search history, and the keyboard behavior after clearing the bar; those are noted for future improvements. Thanks again for the encouragement and for helping us make the app better.

### 5/5 — good

*2023-10-29, version 3.0.2*

very useful for the accent

### 3/5 — 九州？

*2023-10-26, version 3.0.2*

I can’t find 九州 in the “日本の地方”? why is that?

### 3/5 — 開けない

*2023-08-24*

必要な時に開こうとしてもずっと最初の画面のままで、調べることができない。
でも、内容は使いやすいです。

**Developer response:** アプリをご利用いただき、また貴重なフィードバックをお寄せいただきありがとうございます！ご報告いただいた問題は、最新バージョンですでに修正されている可能性があります。お手数ですが、アプリを最新バージョンにアップデートして、もう一度お試しいただけますでしょうか。問題なくご利用いただけることを願っています！

### 5/5 — 私にはありがたいアプリ

*2023-07-15*

長年標準語で生活していますが、それでもしばしばネイティブ（方言）が出てきそうになる瞬間があります。
そんな時役に立つのがこのアプリです。
調べてみると、本当はこんな風に言うのか！と驚くことが多々あります。
皆さまも是非活用してみてください。

**Developer response:** 嬉しいお言葉をありがとうございます。標準語で生活されていても、ふと出てくる言い回しの確認にお役立ていただけているとのこと、とても励みになります。これからも「本当はこう言うんだ！」という発見をお届けできるよう、改善を続けてまいります。

### 2/5 — Robotic voice

*2023-05-02*

The reviews said there wasn’t a robotic voice in the pronunciations but, this was not my experience. I downloaded this to work on sounding more native however, I ended up deleting it. You can hear a robotic sound on the tail end of the pronunciations. Also, the quick speed of the pronunciations may make it hard for beginners to train their ears to hear the pronunciations clearly if they want to continue to use this. It is a good idea and I hope the developers continue to work on it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our app and for taking the time to share your feedback! The issue you experienced may have already been fixed in the latest version. Please update the app to the latest version and give it another try. We hope it works well for you!

### 4/5 — 例文をコピーしたいです！

*2023-04-25, version 2.3.0*

このアプリで本当に助かりました😊！
ですが、例文がコピーできたら幸いです！

### 5/5 — これが好きです。

*2023-03-02*

僕はこのアップが好きですからピッチアクセントの辞書がいますは良いです。僕はアメリカ人ですそして日本語を勉強します独りでインターネットをします。これを助けますそれでありがとうございます。

**Developer response:** ありがとうございます。ピッチアクセントの辞書がお役に立てているようで、とても嬉しいです。独学で日本語を勉強されているとのこと、これからも学習の助けになれれば幸いです。

### 1/5 — AirPod bug found

*2024-07-29*

Bug fund, media cannot play with AirPod when using this app. iPhone 14 pro max, AirPod 2 generation

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-03-18, version 3.0.5*

Forces you to sign up to use features such as the AI chatbot after which you discover that not only do you get ads but also that the chat is limited to 5 messages only! Complete time waste!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — アクセント間違い多い

*2024-01-21*

アクセント間違い多い。コンピュータボイスのため単語発音はできても、文となるとイントネーションがおかしい。リリースするには不備が多い。

**Developer response:** フィードバックを頂き、誠にありがとうございます。
JAccent v2.0.0の新バージョンがリリースされましたので、是非お試してくださいますよう願いします。

### 1/5 — trouble after last update

*2023-10-19, version 3.0.2*

stopped working on iphone 5s, os 12.5.5

### 1/5 — デタラメですね。

*2023-09-17*

地方の方がこのアプリで勉強して、東京に来てこの喋り方で喋っても意味ないように思います。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。学習内容や話し方の実用性について、期待に沿えなかったようで申し訳ありません。いただいたご指摘は今後の改善の参考として受け止めます。

### 1/5 — 🤨

*2023-08-28, version 2.3.0*

It doesn't open

### 1/5 — アクセント、イントネーション正しいですか？

*2023-04-29*

地方訛りを直したくてダウンロードしました。
単語と、その単語を使った例文があり、音声で聞けるところが良いと思ったのですが、ロボット音声で、後に続いて話そうとすると、
「え？これ、正しい？アナウンサーもこんな言い方してるっけ？」
と感じます。私の感じ方が変なのか、この通りに発音しようとすると、余計訛りが強くなる気がします。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。アクセントやイントネーションが正しいか不安に感じられたとのこと、また音声がロボットっぽく聞こえてしまった点も含めて、しっかり受け止めます。いただいた内容は今後の改善の参考にさせていただきます。

### 1/5 — It does not even start

*2022-11-11, version 2.3.0*

Whenever I open the app, I cannot see anything other than the first screen and I cannot use the dictionary. Please, developer contact me or fix this bug.

### 1/5 — 音程は２段階ではなくて3段階です。

*2022-06-04, version 2.3.0*

例えば苗字の『清水』は「し」と「み」とすると「ず」の3つの音程が３段階で下がります。高い音と低い音だけの表示では日本語の発音は正確に表現できません。日本語を学ぶ方々が正しい発音を学べるように、ぜひ改善なさってください。

### 1/5 — It was great when I used it back then, BUT

*2022-04-17, version 2.3.0*

It just won’t open now: neither on my IPhone nor on IPad. Please, fix this, it’s the only Japanese pitch accent dictionary that has audio and for me, imitating native speakers’ speech is the best way of learning a language: fewer possibilities to make a mistake here

### 5/5 — 잘만든 앱

*2024-10-20*

사람이 검수하지 않고Ai가 잘못 악센트를 기재된경우
틀리게
암기할수 있다는 부작용 우려를 없게 해주네요
찾아보니 다 맞습니다
이런 악센트 사전 유료로 구매해도 몇십만원짜리인데 감사합니다

**Developer response:** 좋게 봐주셔서 감사합니다. 말씀하신 것처럼 AI가 악센트를 잘못 표기할 가능성은 저희도 중요하게 보고 있으며, 더 정확하게 만들 수 있도록 계속 개선해 나가겠습니다. 소중한 피드백 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — 굿

*2024-09-12*

일본어 공부중인데 편리하네요. 영어 발음기호처럼 일본어도 일반 사전에 발음 정보가 있으면 좋겠어요. 일본은 돈도 많은 나란데 이런거 정비는 왜 안 하는지...

**Developer response:** 좋게 봐주셔서 감사합니다. 말씀하신 것처럼 일본어도 영어 발음기호처럼 한눈에 보기 쉬운 발음 정보가 더 잘 보이면 정말 편하실 텐데요, 이 부분은 소중한 의견으로 잘 참고하겠습니다. 일본어 공부에 도움이 되도록 더 보기 좋고 유용한 정보 제공을 계속 고민해보겠습니다.
