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 think it’s a really good app to practice your writing and memorization!!! one of my favorites!!

I rarely write reviews, but this app is an absolute gem!!! I’m able to learn about various words that I pick up throughout my journey. I’m able to see the components of Kanji, the On + Kunyomi readings of Kanji, and the stroke order!! The stroke order feature is especially useful since I’m a visual learner. I’ve been able to memorize many Kanjis thanks to that feature alone! It offers all of these cool features without pesky ads or a subscription. Not that I’d be mad at a subscription because the developers have to make money and improve the app somehow. But the fact that the developers prioritize users actually learning and grasping content without being super greedy is very admirable to me. To anyone who wants to start learning Japanese and is looking for a place to start, this is your app! It’s also great for ppl who’ve been studying for a long time (like myself). 😊👍🏽 本当にありがとうございます！💗🙏🏽
