Customer Reviews
Very good tool.
I live and work in Japan going on 8th year. This is a wonderful tool on my iTouch and iPhone. Just put on iPad and that's why I'm writing this review to ask the developers to create an iPad version so it is viewable in landscape and fills the screen. If you are a serious student of Japanese you will not be disappointed with this app. Provides furigana so you can read all kanji as long as you can read kana. Offers many example sentences and provides animated stroke order of kanji. Provides cross ref info if you're really crazy about digging into a particular kanji. I could go on... Thanks to the developers for the effort.
Great app for anyone serious about studying Japanese
This app is worth every penny if you are studying for the Japanese Language Certification exam or studying in college. This app blows away any paper based dictionary or even those electronic dictionaries. For casual users, the free app, Kotoba might be enough but I really like this app.
The Best Japanese Learner App Out There
For me, this app was the first to move the iPhone from the nice-to-have category to the must-have category. Simply put, nothing comes close to it for someone learning the language. I bought it when it was twice as expensive as it is now, but in retrospect, paying still double that would have been well worth it. Can't wait for the full iPad version and later upgrades!
