The best Japanese dictionary on iPhone. Hands down
Well, what can I say. I have attended universities for most of my life. For years I have found international students with devices that cost up to $500-$600 that don't do a fraction of what kotoba does as a Japanese dictionary. I can't believe it's free
V2.8 brings conjugations, an and welcome addition. All we have left to beg for is an iPad version :)
A very dear special thanks to the author for making this available to the world. It really makes a big difference in my life
Must Have App
This is one of my most used apps. You can search in English, but also by romaji, kana, or even radicals for Kanji! The recent addition of looking up conjugated verbs is another great feature. The amount of vocabulary is incredible, with many examples for context. Perfect for looking up a word quickly, learning brushstroke order, and much more.
Now very fast in iOS 5.
Wow, this is free?
I can't say into words how useful this app is for my Japanese learning! I'm really happy with the update as well, now it's even better!
