Finally a japanese dictionary app that comes close to the convenince of the chinese dictionary pleco. I love the ability to be able to export flashcards, have been looking for this for quite some time!!

The dictionary itself is really nice and helpful, reminds me of the imiwa dictionary when I was using iOS (yea imiwa is not in android too bad). But damn the ads need to tone down. It pops out way too many times whenever I'm either typing or reading. Too annoying.

The dictionary itself is great. I love how it returns partial matches while you're still writing and how it tells you if the word is a common word or the Nouken level directly in the search results without entering in the word itself. Unfortunately, the ads make impossible to search normally, you're interrupted with full screen ads while writing the word you're searching and there's no premium option to remove them. A pity.

Ads in apps are fine, but this app blasts you with full screen ads WHILE YOU ARE HALFWAY THROUGH TYPING A WORD. A really obvious attempt to make users accidentally click ads so that the developers can earn ad revenue.

About this app

JDict is a Japanese-English offline dictionary featuring over 160000 entries, over 10000 kanji and almost 60000 example sentences.
It is largely inspired by well-known "Imi_wa?" dictionary for I_O_S platform both functionally and visually.

Current features:
- works offline
- shows kana/romaji as you type
- supports wildcards in vocabulary
- recent words, examples and kanji
- romaji mode in search
- kanji search is divided by ON/KUN readings, Nanori and meaning results
- very fast example search
- extract words from sentences feature
- kanji stroke order animations
- furigana is matched everywhere with my own algorithm (still can have some bugs though)
- in component view, you can see all kanji with given component ordered by JLPT level and word commonness
- in kanji view, you can see all compounds with given kanji ordered like above
- search kanji by components (design inspired by "Japanese" dictionary)
- browse kanji by JLPT and School Grades
- notes
- lists (works like favorites but with folders/sub-folders)
- vocabulary search recognizes some basic grammar when typing
- in word detail view examples are categorized by word meaning if such a connection exists

As you can see features are mostly basic for now.
The database file is quite big (~230MB). The reason for that is that it contains a lot of example sentences data and needs a lot of indexes to run smooth.

My plans:

- make the application more user-friendly (list search)
- learn vocabulary feature (using lists)
- exporting lists to Anki
- external links in vocabulary
- kanji handwriting recognition
- Shiratori game
- improve extract words algorithm (I have some ideas using the statistical approach to make it run faster)

This is a version that contains ads - you may in-app purchase to remove the ads.

New features

- Removed some Ads
- Android supported 8.1
