What's New in Japanese Dictionary

2.2

November 3, 2026

Jisoku 2.2 takes your study further and reads more of what you read! • Export to Anki: turn your study cards into an Anki deck, with everything, only words, or only kanji. Kanji cards include the colored stroke-order diagram, and you can bring your progress along. Free with one short ad per export, or included with Remove Ads. • Vertical Japanese: Live Scan and photo search now read vertical text, like manga. • Printed menus are easier to scan, and less certain matches are labeled as such. • Indigo is the new default color theme. • Dictionary data updated. Thanks for learning with us!

Amazing app!

ありがとうございます!

Thank you so much for such a great app! I'm learning Japanese and using it to practice and memorize kanji. I've tried about 5-6 different kanji apps, but yours is the best! I hope you will continue to develop it further. A couple of suggestions for development: Looped kanji animation; a larger printed kanji on the page, for comparison with the handwritten version; sync favorite kanji and studying list between devices via iCloud; And maybe a list of basic kanji by JLPT levels.

Upd: I found a small bug (iPad) - on the favorites kanji page, as well as on the search page, when switching between kanji, the "Words Using This Kanji" block is not updated

Upd 2: Thanks for fixing upper bug! How iCloud sync works? I've got iPhone and iPad, but sync doesn't work at all, adding something on one device doesn't appear at another :(
