Yomi Browser's offline dictionaries provide you with detail information of words, including numerous examples sentences,  and kanjis (stroker order, on-yomi, kun-yomi. meaning etc.). 

Moreover you can build your own vocabulary lists, or check the prebuilt ones, and use Yomi Browser as a powerful study companion.

VOCABULARY LISTS:
• Build vocabulary lists of Japanese words, kanjis or sentences (which you can share as files or text in many ways)
• Browse the numerous pre-built kanji and word lists, ordered by JLPT levels, school grades and topics

STUDY WITH FLASHCARDS:

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2026-01-16*

Crashes within minutes

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting the crash issue. We have just released an important update with many bug fixes and new features. We hope you give it a new try. Vivien

### 1/5 — 已经购买了，为什么还有广告呢？

*2025-01-02*

已经购买了，还是会出现谷歌广告，请修改这个bug

**Developer response:** 您好，感谢您的购买。您看到的广告来自您通过 Yomi 浏览器访问的网站，很遗憾我无法控制这些广告。

### 3/5 — Good but need some filters

*2024-10-02*

Annoying banners and ads should be taken away

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We don't add any ad banners. They are from the original websites that you visit and which are displayed as is. We simply add furigana on each webpage and make words clickable.

### 5/5 — Bueno

*2024-07-13*

Es bueno, sobre todo cuando quieres saber cómo se lee los Kanjis, y su significado.

### 4/5 — 3 day trial

*2024-05-11*

Note that the entire app is a 3 day trial. After that you have to pay $14.99 to use it.

Well, admittedly, I like that method more than a straight up payment or gutting the app for free users.

I’m not sure I will continue using the app though. It’s missing a “find on page” feature, and that’s a real killer for me.

I’ll rate it 4 stars because it renders the Japanese-Japanese dictionary in English, though.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you very much for the review. Please understand that the 14.99$ unlocks it for life :). What do you mean by "it renders the Japanese-Japanese dictionary in English"? Also, can you please tell us more about the requested feature "find on page"? You want to perform text search you mean? You can email us at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net

### 3/5 — 希望と依頼

*2024-02-10*

仕組みはものすごい嬉しかったので今後のアップデートにも期待します。
日本語以外の記事に翻訳された文がふりがなのように表示されたら語学の勉強にも使えるなって思いました。逆に日本語記事が英語の字幕的なのが付けば海外の方の日本語の勉強に使ってもらえるなと感じました。

また、人名などふりがなの認識誤りがありましたので修正依頼したいと言う場面はありましたので、間違ってる部分を選択してフィードバックする仕組みが欲しいと思いました。AIを使ってたら難しいと思いますがよろしくお願いします。

お問い合わせチャットbot的なので質問投げると修正がいたずらでなければ適応されるなんて感じだと非常に助かります。

これから、アプリ使い倒したいと共に今後の開発も頑張ってください。また、小中学生が健全に使えるブラウザアプリに進化していくことも期待します。

### 2/5 — Split screen?

*2024-01-21*

Bookmark save, split screen on iPad, multipage

### 3/5 — 设置语言

*2023-08-04*

怪怪的app，app设置语言不能调，只能看英文

### 5/5 — Most seamless furigana and definitions lookup you could imagine

*2023-03-11*

This is easily the best app (far better than safari plugins/extensions) I've come across. Absolutely seamlessly view furigana and/or definitions while browsing. Only downside I can see is it's somewhat lacking as a standalone browser, no tabs, browser settings, etc. But as a learning tool to read native content, absolutely unbeatable. Worth the price and then some.

### 2/5 — Not yet operable…

*2022-11-05*

It does not properly identify and handle many links in articles.  The definition window often appears out of the screen area, so definitions of words can’t be seen in their entirety. The flashcard system is unusable.  Instead of saving the word, it saves a link to the article.  I’d like to support Japanese language learning tools similar to this one, but not ones that are far from complete and operable.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. We will try to update the app soon addressing your concerns! If you want to provide us with more details (screenshots) at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net, that would also be really helpful.
