Shirabe Jisho

I’ve used various Japanese-English and Japanese-Korean dictionary apps, and some of them were made by big-tech companies, but none of them were as good as this one. Unlike the other dictionaries that are heavily loaded due to multiple functions you don’t really use, this app offers only essential functions for studying Japanese and so makes it very light and comfy to use.

This is the first review in my life. Shirabe Jisho is the best Japanese dictionary!!!

I love this dictionary. For entry level study is very useful, especially on feature like all conjugation written clearly (I guess this became less important as you learn better japanese). But most of all, the kanji investigation, from scribble to dictionary, is life saviour

めちゃ便利で使いやすい。それに、言葉もほとんど調べられる

I cannot continue my studies without this app, I can say easily is the best app ever, I always use the flash cards I can make my own they also have vocabulary it’s just perfect!

It's a great app to navigate life in Japan. One small suggestion i have though for the UI: showing the furigana of a word on top of the kanji would make it easier to align the two. Right now there is the furigana next to the kanji (kanji is in brackets). I saw this at the Nihongo App and it makes reading the kanji faster :)

I love the features of this dictionary, especially categorizing vocabularies based on JLPT level.

Honestly it's one of the best dictionary apps around, period. I use this even when I've got access to a PC at times because of the ability to search by wildcards, write characters, etc. Definitions are kept up to date and often capture colloquial stuff others don't have, even though it's pulling from public dictionary sources. The example sentences are also often a lifesaver, although I wish there were more of them. Been using this app for 5 years or more now.

I have been using this app for about almost 5 years now, and it has not failed me. However, I really do feel that this app can be more proactive in helping us learn more vocabulary if they implemented a widget for the words that we save on the app. I feel that by being able to see those words on auto-shuffle amidst a widget would really boost my learning. I also really love that many of the words come with example sentences to see how the words are used in daily life.
