“Dictionaries” is an electronic dictionary viewer app made to allow users to efficiently use various dictionaries. Our popular standalone apps have been integrated into a single app where users can search multiple dictionaries at once. You can purchase and use a variety of dictionaries, including English, Japanese, French or other language dictionaries, from the “Dictionary Store” which can be accessed from within the app. Searches • Batch Search (Consolidated Search) allows users to search multiple dictionaries at once. • The display order of dictionaries used in the batch search can be customized. • The keyboard language switches automatically depending on dictionary search groups. • Handwriting input is possible for Japanese, Old Japanese, Kanji, Chinese, Korean, and Russian dictionaries. • Using Pattern Search, users can search for words even if a part of the spelling is unknown. Trace and Jump • Users can easily jump to not only other words in the same dictionary but other dictionaries as well simply by tracing words in a definition, allowing users to go on a journey of intellectual curiosity through the dictionary as their hearts desire. Collection • Purchased dictionaries are shown as icons on the Collection screen. • By opening a dictionary from the Collection screen, users can also carefully go through a single dictionary. Even in this case, users can use the “Trace and Jump” function to easily jump to another dictionary. • The display order of dictionary icons on the Collection screen can be changed to the user's preference. Bookmarks • Users can bookmark their favorite words. In addition, users can also efficiently categorize these bookmarks using the Bookmark Folder. • By turning on Quick Bookmark, users can quickly add/remove bookmarks simply by tapping the Bookmark icon.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dictionaries at none against 翻訳アプリはWeblio英語翻訳's shown. Dictionaries also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). 翻訳アプリはWeblio英語翻訳's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 翻訳アプリはWeblio英語翻訳 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.49 per month and Dictionaries sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dictionaries holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dictionaries has 84 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of 翻訳アプリはWeblio英語翻訳's written reviews are positive against 57% of Dictionaries's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

翻訳アプリはWeblio英語翻訳 ships an update every 2 months, Dictionaries every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
