Very useful words and phrases, with a clear layout. Gives the literal translation along with the English meaning, which I feel is essential to better understand the culture and thought process. A good adjunct to your Japanese studies, to take your Japanese beyond the textbook level. On my phone, the audio doesn't work, but don't think that's the app's fault. Great app, I'm very happy with it! :)

Went into it expecting a generic vocab app, turned out to be incredible user friendly and very well made. A ton of useful vocab you wouldn't normally learn. A very good app and only noticeable downside being a few popup ads now and again. Only wish it would have an English meaning search function as well as Japanese.

Some of the romaji doesn't match up with the pronunciation. 合コン is written as aikon in the app but is pronounced gokon. I just asked a Japanese person to confirm this. As it's free, can't complain too much.

Interesting app, and having spent a year in Japan I can say a good portion of these are "useful" language (obviously be careful with their usage). A few of the translations aren't 100% correct and/or are poorly romanized, but, if you're at a level where you're using this kind of language anyway, then finding the correct pronunciation should be simple enough. A major change/update that I feel this app needs (and would make me consider pushing this up to a 5-star instead of a 4-star) would be remembering your previous position on the scroll bars. For a quick lookup of a sibgle word, isn't a big deal. However, if you're scrolling through trying to read/learn, having to re-scroll to your previous position every time is enormously frustrating. I realize that the "recent" and "favorite" sections exist, but having to look up recent views to figure out where you were last feels bad. Overall good app though, especially for free! Thanks for this!

It would be much better if you group these idioms ect by English. Its slow and laborious to find useful stuff like this. Other than that, its good.

Is it just me or is everything blank?
