Number 1 Japanese study app
I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for an app but this one deserves it. Seriously use this every time u study Japanese and it has been a game changer. Learning worlds in either romaji or kana or hand writing kanji that I’ve seen but don’t know the read of, I can easily find it okay here and it even has markings for what words are commonly used so you know what to use.

The Best
It has pretty much everything you need.
Super Helpful
Most useful tool for mobile language support I’ve ever used. Like having my favorite pocketbook dictionary on me at all times but on steroids.
Great app for all levels!
Writing as someone who passed the N2: this is the best dictionary app I’ve used. Really responsive folks behind this app, too. Błażej is great!
Search Kanji with ease; lots of example sentences
It’s only on the iPhone unfortunately so I can’t recommend it to all my students, but Being able to search kanji by writing it with your finger has made studying from natural materials effortless! Many example sentences, which I noticed are sourced from different internet pages - very useful but sometimes they’re a little untrustworthy. All in all though my favorite app. The names section has also come in handy ^^

Does it’s job
Incredible dictionary
No frills, no ads, impeccably organized. I love it
Wanted to thank and support
Don’t often leave written reviews, but felt compelled to with Shirabe Jisho. Just wanted to thank the developers for creating and keeping an app that prioritizes offline usage, does not seem to collect creepy amounts of user data (so, respects user privacy), and is committed to providing core functionality of the app for free without advertisements even as operating costs are on a significant rise. Additionally, and importantly to me and I’m sure many others, I also don’t see the kind of degradation from overuse/over-reliance of LLM tools in the development process that appears to be plaguing apps all over. Perhaps that speaks to a kind of ethical and values-based decision making that seems all too rare lately. 10$ hardly seems like enough support considering all that, but I was glad to give it regardless. Thanks so much for a truly great user experience!

Absolutely best
Very clean UI with a lot of useful information. Makes it very easy to study and learn new vocabulary. One feature I would like see in the future is more flexible flashcard system. Sometimes I learn a useful sentence pattern and it be helpful to be able to save them in a flashcard. And also a functionality to import third party flashcards would be awesome too. But even without these features, I’m very happy with this app.

A great dictionary, reminiscent of the good-old appstore days!
I’ve tried so many Japanese dictionaries over time, and this one has been my go to for the last 2 years or so. Great features that I’ve been using for free so far, developer that clearly cares (consistently updated, adds significant new features, keeps up with apple UI changes!), flashcards with the right level of complexity (basic adaptive learning from custom lists, but also not ridiculously Anki-level complex so much easier to get started with), and generally an all-round pleasant experience which you can tell the dev has pride in. The app has just added a ‘support/pro tier’ which is a one-time payment instead of a subscription (like other dictionaries like Nihongo have, and are crazy expensive!). Bought the pro, thanks for years of your hard work!
