Two minor suggestions would be to increase support for keyboard shortcuts and to include an ‘x’ button inside the search box to clear the field and make new searches even easier. ### 5/5 — No dark icon *2025-07-28* Icon doesnt change to dark, looks very out of place. Other than that, very good app ### 5/5 — The only Japanese dictionary you’ll need *2025-07-15, version 1.0.5* Being able to search kanji by their radicals is extremely useful. Have been using the app since I heard of it two years ago, and never used a different one since. ### 5/5 — Finally available for IOS *2025-05-15, version 1.0.3* i can search kotoba so easy now, and available in bahasa ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-13* great thanks for this application ### 5/5 — Very very good app for Japanese language students *2025-05-02* Nice ### 5/5 — Still waiting *2025-04-14* Finally can use takoboto on iPhone! but i'm still waiting for all features in iOS version! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Force closed *2025-04-05, version 1.0.3* You developed amazing dictionary. FYI iPad version was forced closed during on click at Kanji. Steps: search a keyword, click to open, click at Kanji words, it closed. ### 5/5 — An (almost) perfect dictionary!! *2025-03-28* I mainly return to this for the pitch accent feature as well as the sample sentences, but its usefulness knows no bounds. Very packed with information on kanji/radical components. So grateful that its on iOS now 😭 感謝しています ### 5/5 — Need A downloadable content *2025-03-24* The Ui is little bit different from the Android one But it’s still Ok but I want the downloadable list please !! ### 5/5 — Finally in I app *2025-03-24* Was waiting for this app in iPhone for ages.

You can login in the app’s Settings. ### 4/5 — iOS Shortcuts please *2026-01-15* Amazing app! I just wish it could support iOS shortcuts app. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great app but needs work *2025-09-03* I love takoboto as a dictionary and use it exclusively on desktop. I also used only the app for it on android, but for iOS the interface is a lot more clumsy and feels much worse, leading me to not really use the app. If they made the interface look how it does on android I would instantly switch to using this app but until that happens I do not use it. Really hoping they update it to be nicer to use and look at. ### 4/5 — Want to Bengali translation *2025-05-22* It’s a great resource for learning Japanese, but as a Bangladeshi, I really miss having Bengali translations. ### 5/5 — E-辞書 *2026-05-28* いい感じです ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2026-04-19* Very precise and informative app ### 5/5 — Takoboto cares about user experience *2026-03-23* It’s refreshing to use an app that actually works. It does loose kana searches because it already knew you wanted that. It shows results instantly. It matches conjugations. It hooks into Anki. There’s a shortcut button to clear the search text. It’s the highest quality experience you can get with a dictionary. It feels good to use this software. Fantastic work. ### 5/5 — Remark *2026-03-14* いいアプリ ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-02-25* Super excellent ### 5/5 — Convenient *2026-01-28* Using it from past one and half year,once you know about how to use it its the best and most convenient dictionary out there. ### 5/5 — Best Japanese Dictionary *2025-10-28* I use this when i study japanese and this is the best japanese dictionary you can get.. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-27* The best I have come across so far! ### 5/5 — Helpfully *2025-10-13, version 1.0.9* Thanks for this apps i can working ini Japan right now ### 5/5 — Very nice *2025-09-15, version 1.0.9* Very very very helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
