So far, the app has been quite helpful, and the kanji by components feature is neat. Though personally, I'd also prefer a feature where you can find out certain kanji by writing them down.

The app good, this dictionary app has been my companion until now and it works great but it would be great if it has an pitch indicator thingy in some words to differentiate the pronunciation of some word like ame(rain) and ame(candy) and more

I've been using this app for a long time until today. Somehow in the Last update I've lost all my saved words.

The dictionary itself is very good. I paid for the ad-free "Donate" version of this app. Unfortunately, it is no different from the free version and is still clogged up with ads. Message to developer: Please can you update the app to fix this? In the meantime I suggest users do not download the "Donate" version.

I purchased this dictionary in February 2019 and it worked hardly 6 months and crushed three times during this period and now crushed permanently and now not working even not opening since last week. When I tried to open, it shows that you perhaps not buy this dictionary, download failed. I even wrote email to complaining but no solution.

I have been using this app for years and love it! That said I'm giving this one star due to the latest update completely breaking the app on my phone. I'll be happy to remove my review if it's fixed but right now the only thing that works is the ads...

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)

New features

- Removed some Ads
- Android supported 9
