Well made and very accurate app

By Pf1220 (Pcmac user)

I have had this app for years now and it has served me very well. I don't use the dictionary all that much, I'm more about the handy kanji writing dictionary- perfect for on the fly readings- no knowledge of radicals needed at all, just simply write the character out in the correct way and you'll get the apposite hit before you know it! This is what makes this app worth the price in my opinion- it's a cut above. Purchase it without any fears, it will most definitely serve you well, whether you have an advanced or rudimentary knowledge of Japanese and Kanji characters alike!
Wish it was better

By スマイリーさん (Pcmac user)

It’s ok and has solder cool features such as widgets, but as one of the mode expensive Japanese apps / dictionaries on the App Store, I’m not quite satisfied yet. 1) no automatic text analyzer to give text with kanji a furigana reading 2) no iOS dark mode support yet 3) widgets are glitchy and again without dark mode I’m looking forward to seeing this improve but the free imiwa still has certain superior features such as number one, mentioned above.
Almost Mediocre

By Thrashre (Pcmac user)

With Jishop being released, this app better cut it's price by about $12, and that still might not be enough, because it has twice as many kanji (and then some), and tons of compounds, and so much more depth to the meanings / definitions than this app. This is a so-so beginner kanji app, no more than that. There's only one Japanese app that costs as much as this one, and that's "Japanese" by Codefromtokyo, and it is in a class by itself. There is no possible way that anyone could justify the price of this app. Unfortunately I got ripped off because the interface looked pretty cool, and I had hopes for it, which it fails to meet, spectacularly. If you want an app that does what this one does, and plenty more, try something like Shinkanji, and save yourself $14, or the above mentioned Jishop. Which by the way has a free version with 1000 kanji, and a $5 version that is waaayyy better than this.
Professional, functional and modern, but missing flashcard features.

By Zak MacKracken (Pcmac user)

the app is a very usable Japanese dictionary with a good UI, OCR and handwriting recognition features, and it plays well with iOS; including split-view multitasking, Today widget, and an extension that lets you look up kanji from any other app. It does seem to be missing some built-in lists for kanji organized by grade and JLPT level, and a way to test myself in those (such as with flashcards). The lack of these requires me to turn to other apps, which is alright; the app does well what it focuses on. Some requests/observations: • When searching for "japanese" or "kanji" in the App Store, the app does not appear very high on the list of results. You may want to see to that. :) • Some extra functionality in the Today widget would be nice. • Some extra information in Japanese for each kanji, such as the native Japanese terms for categorizing nouns/verbs/etc. would be nice. Lastly, thank you very much for making and updating this!
