[2013-08-18] A Google User: Excellent recognizer apps Recognize kanji image and poor kanji handwriting. 5 star! |
|
[2013-08-18] A Google User: Excellent Very helpful for Lerner's. |
|
[2013-08-17] A Google User: good app Good app. Only issue is it never saves my settings. Everytime I use it I see the same pop up messages and my keyboard pops up despite previously changing the setting. The pop up messages are *o.k.*, but I HATE the pop up keyboard. Still, even though that's a bit annoying, this is the best dictionary in terms of content and search.options (which is what counts). Still some bugs, but excellent work. |
|
[2013-07-27] A Google User: Thank You! |
|
[2013-07-07] A Google User: Brilliant |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Very good Good now. Had a problem with phone randomly rebooting when pasting text into this app, fixed in Android update. |
|
[2013-06-28] A Google User: Great app! The UI is a bit overwhelming, but the app is great nonetheless. I've been using it for a couple of years now, without a single glitch. Well done! |
|
[2013-06-26] A Google User: The best Japanese app ever! I absolutely love this dictionary. The only thing that could make It better would be if I could favorite example sentences so I can find them again later. Keep up the good work! |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Good I love this :) |
|
[2013-06-12] A Google User: Bring the old widget back! The previous widget was better... I liked how the kanji was big enough for me to be able to trace the strokes visually. The landacape version just doesn't fly... |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Helped me learn a lot, thanks! As the title says, it really helped me learning a lot. Great application so far. However, I think there's still a place to improve in terms of the look of the application. |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Simple It's great as a simple dictionary, but anyone looking for serious studying need to look elsewhere. I've used this app for a long while and it's fast, responsive and works good. I miss an offline mode and a light theme setting, however. |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Quite good Works well, but i have trouble with the ocr. Doesn't seem to support vertical text very well. |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: Best Japanese kanji recognition app out there Excellent!! |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Great! |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: 良かった Almost excellent except I cannot use it offline, but overall ilove this app, useful and free. |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: The best free dict out there Android GalaxySIII Saved me on numerous occasions out in the society of Japan. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Lovely Stuff ! If you're already a student of Japanese, then this should be a familiar tool on the web. Love it. |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Great Simply a must |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Very nice |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: BAKA Idiotic. An English interface app for learning kanji yet the TTS doesn't pronounce the kanji;. it pronounces the English definition. Are the developers daft, or just high? once again update did not fix the tts . uninstalling. |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy S2 Doesn't display any kanji in search.list etc. probably a bug in the font, when I type kanji somewhere else, they work just fine, just this app dysfunctions, rendering it useless completely |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Great little dictionary Love the handwriting recognition, but why is there no audio reading for the japanese words but there is for the English definitions? What is the point of having English definitions read out loud? I also wish it came with korean to japanese direct translation. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Meh... I'm guessing the only reason this app has gotten such good reviews is because none of the raters have used Kotoba for iOS. It's much cleaner-looking, easier to use, and produces better results based on searches. What gives!? I'm forced to carry my Android phone and iPod Touch around with me daily on the job in Japan. Plenty of room for improvement and I'm really hoping it happens soon. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Awesome Very useful. Constantly improving. |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: Recent update issue Since the most recent update, I now can't do anything with this app. A server mirror issue comes up when I try to use it. I used this app almost daily for more than a year, and have loved it. Please fix urgently. HTC One. |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: Great but Needs offline support... |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: Wow!its help me a lot.. |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: Great Extremely useful for learners. |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Great! Really like the additional information for tablets. |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Damngood This application is seriously amazeballs. I live in Japan and (knowing little Japanese ) this has rescued my bacon from some serious misunderstanding. |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: one REALLY ANNOYING BUG, please fix! This app is amazung. I use it every day as I live in Japan. But, ONE bug that youve had ever since the beginning , is, it is impossible to jump from あ section where you write words, to the 文 example sentence section. The keyboard.does NOT come.up. I have to.click on the middle section, 漢 before going to the next section. This is a really irritating bug, please fix. Other than that, no complaints. That is the only reason. I give this 3 out of 5. If it is fixed I will gladly give it a 5. |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Great app Great app, but suddenly my kanji of the day widget is broke and keeps coming up with an error... please fix, I liked it.. |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Very useful I am advanced level and this dictionary really helps when i am stuck as the search its so powerful. |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Exceptionally good. I really like the update. |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: On-line :-( Would have been very useful if usable off-line. NOT working when no network. Is there a copy of Jim Breen's dictionnary avaliable off-line ? |

|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Galaxy Nexus Love this app! But it would be awesome if we could look up multiple kanji with the HR kanji recognizer. Like, draw one, select it, draw another and get the reading/meaning for the two together. Thank you! |

[2012-01-09] A Google User: Good. I like it, unfortunately the recommended TTS app is not available in the United States market - banned from being downloaded by in the US. Short-sighted developers who think only people in Japan would want something Japanese... But that's not under the control of WWWJDIC's developer, I just wish he'd have recommended something that could actually be downloaded by those who need an English-Japanese dictionary. |

[2012-01-06] A Google User: Poor, unrelated and unsorted results When you search for something, it often displays dozens of totally unrelated results, while the word that actually matches your search is either missing or hidden far down amongst irrelevant entries. |

|
[2011-11-14] A Google User: Will be useful for upcoming trip I've been studying Japanese for over 9 years. This will be useful for my trip to Japan in December and January. The handwritten Kanji is particularly good. Now all I need is my tablet for everything and I can use my electronic dictionary if this app lets me down because that also has handwritten kanji with a stylus. |
