User Reviews

Users consistently praise Shirabe Jisho as fast, clutter-free, and feature-rich. It's acclaimed for offline access, handwriting input with stroke order, and rich data including example sentences and pitch accent. The built-in flashcards and study decks are repeatedly cited as highly useful. Many reviewers call it indispensable for learning Japanese, with a clean UI and strong offline capabilities, plus reliable developer responsiveness. A few note limitations like related-words handling and a desire for Romaji display, but overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.

Cons

I’m so happy that they finally added pitch accent. I was using two dictionary apps before, but now I don’t need to! Sometimes the pitch accent is wrong, but I don’t think it’s really their fault. I have a Japanese to Japanese dictionary that makes the same mistakes. For example 起業 is put down as 1, but according to the NHK accent dictionary and my teacher it’s 0. Also includes parts of speech, example sentences, all the usual stuff. And there’s no ads! My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t include common compounds/collocation.
