Jisho Japanese Dictionary

Thank you for the really well thought out app, this app leaves nothing to be desired, really great.

This App and the website are very useful. You even have features like grammar, single letters and a backwards search function where you can write a japanese letter or word and the app will look it up.

It has a really clunky interface, and doesn’t automatically detect whether I’m typing in Japanese or English and switch accordingly like other dictionary apps do. Also severe lack of example sentences. Just not for me

全然素晴らしいことですよ👍！

This is a great dictionary, especially if you are a beginning Japanese language learner. First off, I have to say the only problem I had was my own fault, and it was because I got a new iPhone and did not realize that the sound on some apps is muted if you have you ringer off. It was working on my iPad so I kept trying to figure it out. This is an inconsistency in iPhone so if you use Jisho (and GENKI for that matter), turn your ringer on to take advantage of the pronunciation help. You will get so much out of this feature as a beginner. Also amazing: if you are working on your handwriting, go into the hamburger menu, under alphabet there are stroke order animations for both Hiragana and Katakana. You can also find this under the kanji listings for words if you press the little “play” arrow under the kanji. The animation pops up. Also found under the menu, you will also find some vocabulary and grammar notes by JLPT level. You can bookmark words you look up which will be listed under favorites. I truly liked this app so much and so I paid paid for premium.

Audio doesn’t work on my iPhone or iPad. I paid for premium to see if that was the issue but it still doesn’t work. I also don’t see any change in the app between unpaid and premium.

While I do like the format of the website slightly better, that’s my only criticism. Otherwise this app still gives you plenty of information plus news articles in Japanese for more practice and reading material. You can even make notes on certain words or Kanji and I think I will be using this a lot more

いいapp です

An app truly geared towards learning Japanese. It has a powerful kanji look-up function and also connects the user to current clips of Japanese media. Excellent for deciphering kanji and great for observing modern Japanese speech. I assume this app is associated in some way with Jisho.org, which is another stellar tool for those who prefer PC. My sincerest thanks to the developers!

I’ve been using Jisho.org for years, enjoying the writing function when you’re searching for kanji meaning that you’re unfamiliar with. This app is REALLY GOOD at recognizing what kanji you’re trying to write. Typically I just give up and search by the radicals, but this really speeds it up, which is nice. It’s a very good app to use while at work. I also appreciate the auto-fill whenever I copy kanji or anything from another source because it makes it even faster. Thank you for this app!!
