"As a university student preparing for the JLPT N2, this is the most comprehensive dictionary I've ever used. The handwriting recognition is incredibly forgiving, even when my stroke order is messy, and the categorized JLPT lists have become my primary study resource. It is fast, intuitive, and works perfectly offline."

Sarah Miller

"Finally a dictionary that understands how learners actually search! The radical search and the ability to look up characters by romaji make it so much faster to find what I'm looking for while reading manga. The database for names and places is a huge bonus that you just don't find in other apps."
