User Reviews

Midori is praised for its depth and breadth as a Japanese dictionary on iOS, especially its camera scan, robust kanji features, handwriting input, and strong study tools. Common drawbacks are gaps in word coverage, lack of automatic cross-device syncing, occasional bugs, flashcards without voice playback, and concerns about ongoing updates. Overall it remains a top choice for learners and professionals who want a feature-rich dictionary and integrated study workflow.

Pros

Camera scan/scan-to-lookup feature enhances lookup speed and practicality
Excellent writing support including kanji stroke order and handwriting input
Rich study tools like flashcards with adaptive recall, bookmarks/notes, and strong Anki integration
Convenient features such as clipboard paste and not having to switch keyboards

Cons

Word coverage gaps: missing words/verbs and domain-specific vocabulary
No automatic cross-device sync for bookmarks/word lists; manual export/import required
Bugs affecting usability (e.g., delete option disappearing, translation jumping, Apple Pencil-related UI issue)
Flashcards lack voice playback, reducing usefulness for some learners
Perceived lack of active updates/maintenance or unclear update cadence

Can’t use it for novels/etc

I have been using Midori for years but have to say that the “scan/photo” function that I have been using more recently has transformed its effectiveness
