Our popular standalone apps have been integrated into a single app where users can search multiple dictionaries at once. You can purchase and use a variety of dictionaries, including English, Japanese, French or other language dictionaries, from the “Dictionary Store” which can be accessed from within the app. Searches • Batch Search (Consolidated Search) allows users to search multiple dictionaries at once. • The display order of dictionaries used in the batch search can be customized. • The keyboard language switches automatically depending on dictionary search groups. • Handwriting input is possible for Japanese, Old Japanese, Kanji, Chinese, Korean, and Russian dictionaries. • Using Pattern Search, users can search for words even if a part of the spelling is unknown. Trace and Jump • Users can easily jump to not only other words in the same dictionary but other dictionaries as well simply by tracing words in a definition, allowing users to go on a journey of intellectual curiosity through the dictionary as their hearts desire. Collection • Purchased dictionaries are shown as icons on the Collection screen. • By opening a dictionary from the Collection screen, users can also carefully go through a single dictionary. Even in this case, users can use the “Trace and Jump” function to easily jump to another dictionary. • The display order of dictionary icons on the Collection screen can be changed to the user's preference. Bookmarks • Users can bookmark their favorite words. In addition, users can also efficiently categorize these bookmarks using the Bookmark Folder. • By turning on Quick Bookmark, users can quickly add/remove bookmarks simply by tapping the Bookmark icon. Search History • In History, display frequency is automatically recorded so that users can immediately recognize words they search for repeatedly. iCloud • Users can synchronize Bookmark and History data among all devices by turning on iCloud. Multitasking • Users can display websites, documents, and more alongside their dictionary by using the Multitasking function on the iPad. By turning on Clipboard Search, users simply have to copy the word they wish to look up in order for the app to find that word in multiple dictionaries. Substantial Lineup • The Dictionary Store carries a large number of full-scale dictionaries, and we plan to further improve this selection in the future as well. • The following English dictionaries are available. Check in the Dictionary Store, which can be accessed from within the app, for more information on each of these items. - Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 10th edition (OALD) - Oxford Learner’s Dictionary of Academic English - Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus - Oxford Collocations Dictionary - Practical English Usage - Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 10th edition - Collins COBUILD Advanced American English Dictionary 3rd edition - Collins COBUILD Intermediate Learner’s Dictionary 4th edition - Collins English Dictionary with Thesaurus An internet connection is required to purchase content.Usage fees and terms of use may apply. ## Dictionaries Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/70/92/7e/70927e14-a952-26ae-3336-7cc6f6d34469/001.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6a/1d/b6/6a1db6e3-1bdf-6d70-fbdf-cd4912454406/002.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/78/e5/75/78e57508-109d-f155-4fc3-de26d9ec5482/003.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/45/5b/3e/455b3ee6-6c67-c543-a838-1ac38b4c84e1/004.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/09/08/f2/0908f24e-4f5a-2a7f-4181-a9f2d8b94139/005.png/1284x2778.png) ## Dictionaries Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 52 (67%) - 4 stars: 9 (12%) - 3 stars: 3 (4%) - 2 stars: 4 (5%) - 1 stars: 10 (13%) ## Dictionaries Reviews in United States ### ***** "Great for Japanese learners" For Japanese learners I highly recommend “The Wisdom” within this app, especially for its example sentences. I also like being able to search multiple dictionaries at once with a single UI. Good stuff! -- TL-Pgh, 2025-09-20 ### ***** "Great app" Just love it! -- Hylenbin, 2025-09-19 ### ***** "Best app ever" Best app ever for getting Japanese dictionaries of all types. Have bought so many and am happy with my purchase. Wish there was more fonts for all the dictionaries if possible, but other than that love it! -- Orly235, 2025-09-18 ### ***** "best Japanese dictionary app" This is bar none the best dictionary app for Japanese learners. Excellent selection of JP-JP, kanji, and other dictionaries. I wish they also had an Android app so it could work across all my devices. -- dopop, 2025-07-08 ### ****- "Would love a Vision Pro app" Would love a Vision Pro app -- IMcPwn, 2025-04-04 ### ***** "Absolutely fantastic app!" Finally, a dictionary and grammar app with a stunning interface, seamless interoperability between the purchased modules, and overall terrific UX. Thanks for not including nasty telemetry or trackers. Excellent job. I've purchased multiple dictionaries as in-app purchases and recommended this app to friends interested in acquiring Oxford University Press dictionaries. -- Sarassine, 2024-11-19 ### **--- "邪魔な「App内課金が許可されていません」popup" 親のアカウントで購入して子供に使わせたいのだが、子供のアカウントで使おうとすると「App内課金が許可されていません」というダイアログが毎回毎回毎回毎回表示されて非常に邪魔。（当然ながら、子供のアカウントで課金を許可するわけがない） また辞書ごとに別々の単体アプリだったのが統合され、目的の辞書を開くのに余計なワンアクションが必要で、とても使い勝手が悪くなった。 -- ryo1kato, 2024-06-22 ### ***** "Nice APP！" But a spotlight integration would be even better -- user284683, 2024-04-25 ### *---- "WARNING about this developer" Some users have reported here that dictionaries they've purchased have become unavailable to reinstall. I bought a Collins Spanish Dictionary from Cole Zhu Inc that had exactly the same interface as these ones from Monokakido. When I replaced my iPad and tried to access the app on my new iPad I got an error saying the app was "currently unavailable in your App Store." This is totally unacceptable for a dictionary app. I don't know if Monokakido changed its name from Cole Zhu Inc or bought the dictionary interface, but they should have given some thought to existing users. And SHAME on Apple for not standing by us and making sure that apps remain available to users who buy them. I'm totally disgusted after this experience. No wonder people don't want to pay for dictionary apps. It's really the worst kind of customer service, and it's about more than the money when it would be so easy for Apple to provide the app to people who paid for it. -- As de corazones, 2024-01-02 ### ***** "購入済みのアプリにも対応" 過去に購入した、同社販売の単体辞書アプリの統合も可能なので、後に同社の他のアプリの購入を検討されている方は便利かと思います。 -- K. Saito, 2023-12-18 ### **--- "OALD" I wanted to buy it but noticed it works online. Why wouldn’t you add full offline support for this one? I read when I go somewhere and I won’t be able to listen examples only a word, why? I have a lot of memory on my phone and what use of it. -- balbesam.net, 2023-11-25 ### ***** "Perfect" Monokakido’s app spoils me. It’s perfect. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and full of pleasant surprises. I’ve purchased many dictionaries from them and have never regretted any. Compared to quality printed dictionaries, they are very affordable and there is simply no downside to buying digital. Only upside - it’s with you on all devices, you can look at your history to learn better, and the pattern based search makes finding things far easier than paper. And Monokakido doesn’t stand still. New dictionaries are released often. Just as one example, I looked today to see that my favorite grammar dictionary was just added and is on sale. It’s almost as if the company is reading my mind. I hope Monokakido considers publishing more of the world’s dictionaries over time. Their style, attention to detail, and love for dictionaries make this app a true gem. -- jimcoyer, 2023-09-15 ### ***** "Best Japanese Learning and Reference App" This application works so well when you have multiple high quality dictionaries that you will never want to use anything else again! They recently added a grammar dictonary as well. So when you input something to look up, you are given a whole range of knowledge depending on what books you purchase in the app. It is fast and well polished and it only gets better as time goes on with more book options being added all the time. This is the one app that keeps me on Apple devices! -- BluTape, 2023-09-09 ### ****- "Bookmark Enhancement" Swift and useful dictionary app. But the bookmark function seems way too primitive and 2 basic features are needed: 1. User’s note for bookmarked item; 2. Bookmark export as csv file (including user’s notes). -- ap.hl, 2022-04-08 ### ***** "INDISPENSABLE tool for a lifelong Japanese learner and translator!" Things I love: -Clean design, very easy to use and lots of visibility and other settings (font size, search order) -AMAZING content (everything from learners dictionaries to big expensive unabridged dictionaries like Reader's, Random House, and Kenkyusha, and the Robert French-Japanese dictionaries). This has replaced my trusty old Casio Electronic Dictionary. -One purchase is shareable between all devices-- I use this app and its contents on my iphone, ipad, and Mac, syncing seamlessly. -Great support: whenever I have had any issues, I get polite and helpful replies from the Japanese staff. Things that could get better: -Just keep adding content. The Kanjigen kanji dictionary, and the Kenkyusha Shin Ei-Wa Daijiten are two that I would be very excited about. -To people who aren't used to spending money on a dictionary, relying on free dictionary databases, or the internet, I would just say that I've found the quality of definitions and examples to always be worth the price in the long run! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! -- ahdeweese, 2021-08-16 ### ***** "Errors" I cannot restore or update dictionaries that I bought. It says there is an unexpected error and I need to force restart iOS. I did force restart many times, but it does not work. I have plenty free storage space left, so that should not be the problem. Also, sync issues: devices do not have the exact same number of bookmarks. -- sadpatheticme, 2021-05-19 ### ***** "I have purchased seven dictionaries and none of them can be installed" Great app I must say, tried force restart device for about an hour, didn’t work, great experience otherwise... hope there is way to fix it permanently. -- asyoulikedit, 2021-05-11 ### ***** "Thanks for fixing the problem" Now I could restore and download the dictionary. -- GawenX, 2021-04-12 ### ***** "Please build this app on macOS" Very good app. I am fully invested in this app. Please build it on macOS as well. Will update my review in 6 months. <3/20/2021> -- alexniiii, 2021-03-20 ### ****- "Great for Japanese, but Missing a Crucial Feature" First off, I love that this app combines multiple dictionaries in one. For me this is useful because I first look in the 三省堂 dictionary since it is a bit easier to understand and has shorter definitions. However I often have to look in a more complete dictionary like 大辞林 for more complicated things. This app lets me do that with a single search! One feature that I feel is crucial, but this app is lacking, is the option to export your bookmarks. This could help users e.g. to make digital flash cards from bookmarked entries. -- JStrutz84, 2020-10-20 [View all Dictionaries reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Dictionaries In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | NHK Japanese Pronunciation | $43.99 | | WISDOM English-Japanese 3 | $31.99 | | SHINMEIKAI 8 | $26.99 | | DAIJIRIN 4 | $33.99 | ## Dictionaries Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Japan | Reference | #2 | | Top Grossing | Taiwan | Reference | #10 | | Top Free | Japan | Reference | #13 | | Top Grossing | Poland | Reference | #38 | | Top Grossing | South Korea | Reference | #62 | | Top Grossing | Thailand | Reference | #75 | | Top Grossing | Hong Kong SAR China | Reference | #96 | | Top Grossing | France | Reference | #96 | | Top Grossing | Vietnam | Reference | #100 | | Top Grossing | Peru | Reference | #100 | | Top Free | Taiwan | Reference | #259 | | Top Free | Hong Kong SAR China | Reference | #261 | | Top Free | Thailand | Reference | #471 | ## Dictionaries Discovered Keywords -
