User Reviews

Users praise Daijisen for its depth, ongoing updates, and, most notably, its proprietary handwriting recognition. The dictionary’s breadth—names, slang, and a thesaurus—addresses advanced needs. However, several reviews flag a very large install size with space-hungry images, plus a design that many see as gimmicky and distracting. Missing English-to-Japanese functionality and romaji search is a repeated drawback, along with concerns that the app isn’t ideal for beginners.

Pros

Proprietary handwriting recognition that reliably handles Japanese input and often outperforms the native iPhone handwriting option.
Very deep, comprehensive dictionary with specialized entries (names, modern slang) and a full thesaurus, appealing to advanced learners.
Regular updates that add new words, helping keep the content current.
Handwriting input feature is highly valued and frequently highlighted as a key advantage.

Cons

Very large app size (~1 GB) with a substantial storage footprint; includes hundreds of images that many users wish could be deleted to save space.
Gimmicky UI and features (book-like design, orbiting word feature, visualizers) are viewed as unnecessary distractions that waste screen space and detract from core dictionary use.
Missing Japanese-to-English dictionary and lack of romaji (romanized) search, which limits usefulness for learners who rely on bilingual lookup.
For some users, the feature set feels less beginner-friendly and more oriented toward advanced users, limiting its appeal as a starter dictionary.

Recent reviews

A great app for Japanese learning, plus there always are updates coming with new words, total worth the money!

The app functions well, but I really don't like the "book" design. If I wanted to buy a book, I would buy a physical book. When I buy an app I expect it to be designed to use screen space efficiently. As of now, it wastes a lot of screen space. There are also too many gimmicky features that do not add to the dictionary. The galaxy orbiting word feature is small and hard to read. The visualizers are also not helpful. The developer should build an app that is useful with a clean design without any gimmicks.
