Nihongo - Japanese Dictionary - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Nihongo is an offline Japanese dictionary, flashcard app, and reading assistant, designed to make the best use of the time you dedicate to studying Japanese.

Our dictionary is made to find what you're looking for fast, with the words Japanese speakers actually use at the top of every search result, and every word marked as "common", "uncommon", or "rare".

"Clippings", our reading assistant, is what makes Nihongo stand apart from other dictionaries. Paste in Japanese text from a website, email, an eBook, or anywhere else, and we'll add furigana or romaji to every word. We also enable you to tap on any word to see its definition. This will truly change the way you read Japanese. And now, you can get the same experience right in Safari using our Safari extension.

Personal experience (as well as a good deal of research in second-language acquisition) has shown us that the words that you're most likely to remember are the words that you're encountering naturally. To this end Nihongo automatically draws from your search history and clippings to compile flashcard decks filled with words for which you already have context. This makes it easy to study both the words you looked up during Japanese class, and those that appear in your favorite song or videogame. And by adding notes to the back of flashcards you can further connect each vocabulary word to your personal contextual understanding.

Kanji flashcards prompt you to draw the missing kanji from the words you're studying, creating stronger connections between the characters and their real-world use. Built-in kanji decks give you 2 or 3 key words to study for each kanji.

This app is only possible because of the JMDict (edrdg.org) and Tatoeba (tatoeba.org) projects. I highly encourage you to support these incredible projects that make apps like Nihongo possible!

Perfect Companion

Fantastic companion app for learning Japanese! My only complaint is that we should be able to customize how many times we want to drill new flash cards - the default three times is a little overkill for me, and twice would be perfect.

Worth the investment

Well worth putting your time and money into this app. If you’re looking to learn Japanese, this is the app for you!

Very nice app

This app may or may not be the right fit for you, but it is obvious that a lot of effort and love was poured into the app. Personally, I’m a big fan of the app’s flashcards. It’s easy to do flashcard shovelware. This is not that.

Best Japanese app

すごいね

Le plus utile des dictionnaires jusqu’à présent。

Excellent app!

I didn’t expect it to be this good! You get sentence examples, common readings, vocabulary, a radical keyboard, stroke order, JLPT classification, and if you pay (nice affordable prices also) you can get flashcards, audio, quizzes and much more. Responsive and easy to use. It also tells you if a word is used in daily language or not. If you have an iPad, you can split the screen. Very underrated app. It would be nice if you could search for a kanji using handwriting though. 😁

Learn stroke order and see example sentences!

This app is a great resource when I want to quickly look up and practice the stroke order of a particular kanji. I like the examples they provide as well as conjugation. Highly recommended !

Is very very good

I love it. Is very useful. A lot of features. Thank you for this app

best I've used

There is no dictionary as useful as this one. I can't tell you just how often I've referred to it in the last couple of years. I love the easy-to-use interface, the sample sentences, and the ability to listen to pronunciation.

New problems

App was great until recently and now it freezes often when you try to press on a kanji. iPhone XR. Now there are also major font size problems as well. Unusable at the present time.
