## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2024-02-16*

Scam

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work

*2023-01-29*

Don’t waste your money. The app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore ‼️😡

*2022-02-08*

Just updated the app, it became useless!! Searching for a word, displaying NOTHING‼️ What happened ⁉️😡

### 1/5 — It looks different

*2021-11-16*

Wrong introduction by developer

### 5/5 — An excellent app, but a little feature-poor

*2013-10-06*

I love this app -- as a beginning Japanese student, I can't tell the difference between common and rare words, so a dictionary of common words is incredibly useful, and the quantity of results of a search is much easier to deal with.

It's also wonderful that it searches on romaji, kana, or kanji. Not having to constantly switch the keyboard is a blessing.

The wildcard kanji search is superb as well. I use it as a tool to discover new kanji compounds based on the kanji I already know.

I find I don't use the grammar feature much, but when I do I'm glad it's there.

The additional features are few, though, and would make this the *killer* beginning Japanese app if some or all were present:

1. The ability to browse the dictionary as one might a paper dictionary.

2. The ability to export search results. Even better would be the ability to export individual or groups of search results as flashcards! This in particular would save me hours. (The most beautiful possible export format would be a "3-sided" flash card format: kanji, kana, definition)

3. A search history. I'd love to see, and even export, my search history, as this is the equivalent of a vocabulary list for whatever I am reading or writing.

All in all, an essential tool in my daily Japanese study. 凄い！

### 5/5 — Terrific dictionary

*2013-02-15*

Being able to search with verb and adjective endings is great.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for beginners

*2011-11-27*

Being able to look up the words without having to work out the grammar myself is so cool.
