User Reviews

Users praise the app as a free, ad-free, feature-rich Japanese dictionary and study tool with flashcards and lists. The main drawbacks are unreliable speech/pronunciation features, no cloud or cross-device sync, a long period without updates, and occasional Mac-specific issues. Overall, great for learners who want a comprehensive offline resource, especially for JLPT/Kanji study, but expect bugs and limited platform syncing.
Pros
  • Free and ad-free access with no subscription required.
  • Rich dictionary with example sentences, furigana, and topic-based organization for quick lookup.
  • Built-in study tools like flashcards and custom word lists/decks that support effective memorization.
  • Helpful for JLPT and kanji study, including JLPT level tagging, kanji drill features, and furigana toggling.
Cons
  • Pronunciation/speak feature is bugged and often non-functional.
  • No cloud sync across devices and limited import/export options; iCloud sync would be welcome.
  • Hasn't seen meaningful updates for years, with some bugs remaining unfixed.
  • Occasional Mac-specific issues (not designed for Mac, occasional freezes).

I have been using this app for around 12 years and nothing else can compare to it. It's such a vital part of my everyday life and I could not imagine trying to learn Japanese without it. It's an absolute MUST get for anybody that is studying the language, and I urge all my friends who are just getting into learning Japanese to get this app. I absolutely cannot recommend it enough.
