I love this app

This app has brought me through so much. The fact that it’s free, offline, and offers many features is just .. amazing. I love this app; I wish they had more, but that’s just me being greedy :)

Great app, one improvement

Have been really enjoying this app. So helpful. When reviewing Kanji, if there was an ‘erase last stroke’ option on the scratchpad when practicing it would be so good. I have to delete all my progress on each word if I make any mistake

Easy to Use

This dictionary app is easy to use!

Awesome

Love that I can save sentences

User-friendly menu

Large dictionary is easy to search through. It clearly labels frequent words that are most likely to meet your demand. This function helps exclude less relevant words from queries.

Integrated example sentences helps to learn word outside of definitions. It imagines specific scenarios where the word could be used.

The challenge of searching a word with forgotten spelling is made easy. Passive autocorrect helps to find these words even with characters missing.

Best dictionary app

I use this every day and it is by far the best dictionary app out there for Japanese. My favorite feature is that it records and dates words you have looked up.

Terrific way to accelerate learning of Japanese

Really helpful and easy to use. It’s great for Japanese because there are so many different words that sound the same. I especially love the favorite feature which lets me build my own vocabulary practice pack.

Examples are not helpful for beginner level learners

The dictionary is great overall. Does most things jisho.org has, but offline. However, the example sentences are not helpful at all for a beginner learner (~N4, ~A2) because they do not give simpler examples that highlight the entry’s most basic usage. So the app is great for a quick translations or kanji lookup, but you’ll need to dig further somewhere else for how a word is used.

It’s more than I thought

This app really had me surprised when the app had the listing you can make it’s helping me so much in my journey!

Awesomesauce

So awesome and cool 10/10 I use it alongside my physical dictionary also. すごいですよ👍

The best

This is an excellent app it’s way beyond any other Japanese apps or language apps in general, easy five stars😆⭐️

Very helpful

A free service and a search function?? My legs are always wet using this :3

Best dictionary app i’ve used so far! 😇

Trust me you can’t find a free dictionary better than this. No ads, no money, everything is free.

Dear Shirabe Jishou

I love you. You are perfect and have every feature I could possibly dream of. I especially love the feature that allows you to draw the kanji to look it up, it’s definitely a life saver. I recommend this app to every Japanese learner.

Absolute go to for learning and general use!

I can’t even remember who recommended Jisho to me but that’s how long I’ve been using the app, even since the iPod touch days.

It’s been a staple for me forever since not only are you able to look and type, but offering also handwriting and stroke order really allows you to find almost anything written down.

The devs have never given up or forgotten about their dictionary and it’s honestly the best free software I’ve used in a long time.

Best dictionary

Literally the best JP dictionary; it has the pitch and tone label for every word. Love it

Nice Japanese Dictionary

Very helpful. I’ve been using it for years. I appreciate the ability to look up kanji by writing them.

The best Japanese dictionary

I really like how it shows if the vocabulary is ‘Common’ or not. And I really like the example sentences. I also love the ‘bookmarks’ function. I can save as many as I want in order to create Flashcards for revision. I’ve been using this app for 4 years since I started learning Japanese. The best Japanese dictionary app in App Store. Thank you so much! Much appreciated!

Perfect for Learners

I started learning Japanese a few months ago, and this app has been such a big help! Some of the most helpful features for me were: draw to search, related words, and components and radicals for each kanji. There’s a ton more on here too.

Amazing

You can write the kanji you are looking for the definition of, you can use Romaji to search it up, you can even find the word in Japanese from the English word/translation, and it even shows you the radicals for the kanji. Genuinely such a practical app
