Best japanese dictionary app ever! No ads. Simple and easy to use. There are so much options for many different results of words for your search. And you can search many things. And each word it gives you has so many cool features like kanji strokes and forms and examples and everything! Theres so much more stuff that this app gives thats too much to explain! 10/10 I reccomend. Its really really good and useful.

Good dictionary, with a functional (though not particularly pretty) interface. I like the ankidroid and kanji study integration. It doesn't try to duplicate the job of an IME, which some people could consider a negative, and only radical-based kanji search is available. It has good word-jump functionality, e.g. when viewing sample sentences. I really wish it had an option to display pitch accent.

Very nice, clean interface that's easy to use. Examples are good and finding kanji is easy with components search. Highly recommend. Only thing I'd add if possible is a way to draw unknown kanji. Right now when I would rather draw a kanji to look it up, I have to use a different app (Yomiwa). But I like Takoboto's interface better - it feels smoother and faster, less clunky.
