About the rating
textAvg 4.62 vs storeAvg 4.78. Minimal gap. Reviews from long-term users with detailed descriptions of features: radical search, handwriting input, SRS integration. Criticism is constructive (outdated SRS, stalled updates). No artificial inflation.
Strengths
What users love
- Handwriting search
- Kanji breakdown by radicals
- Spaced repetition
- And offline functionality make it an essential companion for anyone studying Japanese through immersion in real texts.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The spaced repetition system has not been updated in a long time and lags behind dedicated apps. No structured lessons for beginners
- And without a foundation in hiragana and grammar using it is difficult.
Who it is for
Japanese learners at intermediate level and above who read authentic texts and need a reliable dictionary at hand. Beginners are better served by another tool first.
