### 1/5 — worthless

*2013-12-29*

I like the web version, but the app is close to useless. it gets one start instead of zero because you can look up english --> japanese translations, but not vice versa. nor can you look up words in hiragana, katakana, or kanji -- all of which you can do on the web version.

### 2/5 — Almost

*2013-05-11*

The app seems to function for some words, but if you type in some basic items it doesn't find the Japanese that know to be in the JDICT.DIC file (ex. Tendai, Shingon, Buddha)
