Should be a 5 star app

Diaappointed on

Just don’t know how to invoke audio pronunciation. Other than that thank you for the developers’ hardwork.

wish list for study lists

r_chifflet on

the intersection of 2 bookmark lists would be terrific as an export CVS file, e.g., adverb okurigana or adverb jukugo or adverb kana-only ... merci

Junk

Ekn71 on

Wow! Beyond disappointed, I can’t believe they can get away with charging money for this. I look up 信用 and the only answer is the name of a credit union! 突然 produces no answer even if I try totsuzen. This is junk don’t waste your money. No stars

kodansha numbers for kanji

r_chifflet on

which Kodansha dictionary does the Kodansha number refer to ? i have 4 Kodansha dictionary and for the two common kanji for "noon" the numbers match nothing, altho the SKIP codes and Unicode are correct. ex Kodansha 1254 best requested addition: change bookmarks order to place latest category at top of list of categories

A Six Star App

birutomu on

If there were a sixth star available for this app, I would award it. It’s the only dictionary I could find that is 100 % reliable in deciphering drawn kanji (unlike Jisho, which I also use). Moreover, you can in your drawing build a kanji, piece by piece, checking for meaning at each stage, which makes remembering the kanji much easier, as the meaning logically develops. And because you download the whole program, you can use it offline. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

A must have

DrCaptainChef on

Wether you are learning Japanese or just traveling, this is the tool you need. I use it every day. Suggestion: I wish there was a link between transitive and intransitive version of a verb

Perfect for learning

tidanone on

Very complete and useful. A must!

I use this every day for study.

hrlnthmpsn on

Midori is a fantastic app. There isn't much more I can ask for other than an update to stroke order recognition. Sometimes they are slightly off or correct but the stroke search function doesn't recognize what I am looking for. Otherwise fantastic. One thing that I would suggest is offering the a ability to create your own flashcard sets. I've tried other apps that focus on this as a main feature and fail to do it properly. Considering how great this dictionary is, the ability to construct flashcard sets out of it would be superb. Thanks for everything!

Nice, but could be more useful if settings and bookmarks can sync across devices

superbatmouse on

I use Midori to learn Japanese and I use the bookmark feature to help me organize what I like to revise. It works well but I find it somewhat frustrating when I switch between my iPhone and iPad and I cannot have the same bookmarks. I wish Midori can sync settings and bookmarks across devices of the same iCloud account so no matter which device I pick up I can continue learning.

Incredibly useful!

Jeffok7 on

I have used many Japanese dictionary/translators over the years and this is the best. It has a large dictionary including many specialized terms that other apps don't have. It is very versatile and I really like being able to add notes to bookmarks. The only feature I wish it had is the ability to personalize it with my own words and definitions. Other than that, highly recommended!
