Customer Reviews
Good dictionary
Use this all the time, using component lookup and japanese keyboard mostly. Handwriting support of kanji is still a bit dodgy, but seems to be improving. Flashcard support is a nice bonus. Also love being able to paste sentences and getting each word translated.
Almost there
When you open the app and click in the search field the app switches into the word searching mode but the search field loses focus meaning you have to tap again after waiting for the screen to change. If this could be fix, this app would be a lot better.
good app
It's a good app full of content. The lists and study options are great, as are the example sentences.
However I turned of cellular data usage for the app and now every time I open it it bugs me about it and I can't turn the notification off. I have no idea why this app would need to use my cell data. Also was not impressed by the website having no way to contact the makers of the app and ask questions or recieve support. Even though they have a support page.
