About this app

The only Japanese dictionary worth paying for. An off-line english japanese dictionary which uses Jim Breen's JMDict (upgraded EDict)/KanjiDic2/WWWJDIC data along with data from the Tatoeba project. Does not require japanese keyboard. Internet access is used only to download the dictionary - the application itself works offline.

Excellent Japanese-English dictionary app. Offline and fast, which is what sets it apart from other similar apps. I use this every day. Option to set custom font is excellent if you want to see kanji in Kyokasho style (Klee One from Google Fonts is great for this).

Getting a toast every time I open the app: "On Android 10 and higher, apps can no longer read the clipboard. Please change..." but the rest gets cut off. I'm pretty sure the toast is useless but I don't know how to stop it from appearing. Using Android 14.

Truly the best Japanese dictionary. I've been using it now for at least 3 years. It contains kanji stroke orders, words labeled with how commonly -used they are, dictionaries focusing on specialized fields, and so on. Clean UI, not beautiful, but dependable and utilitarian. I opted to support the developer with a mere $1.61/mo--and he's putting out new features all the time. Most recent is a (paid) add-on for highlighting and translating text in the wild.
