### 1/5 — Useless for Japanese study! 日本語の勉強の為には役に立たない！

*2010-07-29, version 0*

Maybe for Japanese people studying English it's an alright dictionary, but if you're studying Japanese don't bother getting it because you can't look up words by their kanji. For example, I searched "water" and it returned words like "jellyfish" and a bunch of words with the water kanji in them, but not water itself. And what's more, search results are displayed in kana only. Since I just wasted $8 on this app I have no choice but to give just one star.

英語を勉強してる日本人にとってはこのアプリ使えるかも知れないけど日本語を勉強してる方は買わないほうがいい。なぜなら、多くの言葉を漢字で検索出来ません。例えば、『水』を検索すると『くらげ』など、水の漢字が入っている言葉は出てくるけどただの『水』は無し。しかも、検索の結果はカナでしか表示されません。使えない上に、8ドルも無駄にしたので★を一つしかあげれません。

### 5/5 — いい！
