Ok so many people say it is slower than Kotoba but I found only maybe 34 seconds difference BUT Kotoba doesnt have sound so I dont think thats a fair comparison It has a lot of cool things like the Kanji radical search and of course the voice recorder I enjoy comparing my accent to the natives to make sure I say the word right The voice quality could be better but as of right now its ahead of its time and no one else has a comparable product Keep up the good work                 Swiss Army Knife of Dictionaries
This is the most feature rich Japanese dictionary but the features seem to weigh it down so much as to render it useless Want to look up a word while carrying on a conversation 30 seconds to start the program and 20 seconds to search once you push go A real conversation stopper While hardly functional as a conversation tool it does shine as a study aid The kanji keyboard an iPhone feature was great for helping me decipher signs on a recent trip to Tokyo and even helped decipher trail signs while hiking hakkodo san this last weekend But that is thanks to integration if the iphone kanji keyboard which you can also use in cheaper and faster dictionaries What this does that the others dont is allow me to save new words and kanji to a study folder which coverts my saved items into flash cards I have a problem with the search results which tend to return lists of words for every search most that are not relavent or are the wrong words fir conversation I would like to see sample applications if the words like I can find in a good conversation dictionary This application provides sample japanese sentences but you need to know kanji to read them Finally the most common method for quiiting the application seems to be the crash A bonus A major warning about signing up for the lifetime free account The developer is a major spammer sending me multiple emails a day Bottom line a good study aid but a poor and unreliable tool for daily use from an obtrusive spammer Spend your 20 elsewhere For now this tool is mostly potential     Weighed down with features
This app is very slow to load and sometimes requires useraction to enter the app This dictionary allows you to search for example sentences which it sometimes actually has which is nice The dated history is nice too However the slow unattractive flash cards need work and the study lists that serve as their source should be divisable into userdefined groups The kanji stroke order is my biggest problem The animations are missing for many kanji that other dictionaries such as Japanese ShinKanji have It uses the same KanjiCafe animations as Kotoba but this app stretches them out so that they are pixelated and unprofessional looking In addition the layout is dull and the sometimes flashing button at the top of the screen is distracting but the ability to minimize the record button is a saving grace Yet I wish that I could listen to the words without unminimizing the obtrusive recordplayback panel This is my least used dictionary and I would not use it at all if not for the fact that I was able to find the reading はくはつ in this dictionary even though I could not find it in the Kotoba Japanese or Oxford dictionary apps Updated Review After updating I had to delete and redownload the app due to crashing even after resetting my device the new iPod touch with 30 software App opens with a japanesepod101 ad asking the user to sign up on their website even if they already have In addition while using the app the button that advertises other applications sometimes glowsflashes annoyingly this can be very distracting to a learner Signing up will result in innumerable emailings often begging the recipient to pay monthly fees for their website I didnt pay 20 for this app to be bombarded with ads If I had known japanesepod101com was involved I would not have purchased it because of their aggressive advertising There are many better products available For example Kotoba excellent free dictionary with kanji stroke order animations Japanese dictionarystudy listsstroke order animationsconjugations iKanji stroke order animationeffective kanji studylong compound and usage lists Shinkanji kanji dictionary with stroke ordersoon to be full featured word dictionary AccelaStudy audio vocabulary quizzes review lists and flashcards To encourage improvements on my investment I will rewrite my review for this app after updates to see if it has aquired any value     bad for kanji annoying ads slow
The dictionary has some interesting features and voice for SOME words but when I pay this much for an app I want a registered copy not shareware that constantly advertises other products Also I am getting sick of insulting emails rating how serious I am as a student based on how much money I send to the company A note to the company the 20 I wasted for this ad shooter is all you will see out of me And do not use your infomercial emails to insult customers intelligence or you will not have any more customers     The Infomercial Dictionary
20 is a lot for an app which I am fine paying so long as it lives up to its promises This app is clunky with many words lacking audio even simple words like water The kanji dictionary isnt easy to use either there is a much better one I would recommend for that that I think I paid 4 for I honestly wanted it just for the audio so was disappointed what my 20 got me     20 is too much
This might be an awesome app if I could get it to stay open for more than 7 seconds Every single time I open it and input a word it immediately closes on me So frustrating and disappointing to pay 20 and get absolutely nothing for it        not happy
As stated in other reviews Innovative Language Learning generally produces good products but this one falls short in a couple of areas Performance is slow audio quality clarity is lacking though may sound better if played through an external unit but then you lose mobility and actual recorded samples seem few and far between A large number of words that I have searched for have no recordings in the database Lastly since purchasing this app I have been unable to back up my iPhone I contacted ILL and they have confirmed the issue as a bug for which they are currently writing a fix So in short it would appear that this product was released prematurely Additionally it is listed at an introductory price of 20 which is somewhat on the higher end of language app prices and one would like to see better QA and a more developed product at that price Im hoping that updates will greatly improve the performance        Wait for updates in hope of improvement
Ver11 still needs a lot of work It is super slow There is an arrow tab where everytime you go from history to study guide etc It will load new advertisements on the backend Voice overs are ok but not great There is a section in settings where it asks you to turn audio to high quality when DUH Why would not want audio in high quality More audio files for the long sentence structures would be nice So please update your app        Slow 2 load Ads slow down app
Crashes when kanji is pressed Unacceptable especially considering the price Was a great dictionary back in the day but clearly is not supported now     buggy
This dictionary has great potential both because of the audio feature and the example sentences However speed is certainly a problem comparing to Kotoba which is FREE and the price seems a bit too much app japanese is cheaper and I think it is more usefulquick If they can improve these two things this app will be surely excelent for any student of the japanese language           Ok But needs some improvements
I have been using this app almost from the initial issue date There were definite problems back then but many of these have been resolved with version 11 The tech support was actually timely and personal This is something that I think is unusual Since I already had Kotoba free I was a little leery about the expense I still think it is overpriced but it does have sound recordings and example sentences I think they would be difficult for beginners without a large background in kanji It is important to enter Japanese words with kana or kanji to get examples that actually match the word you are looking for Searching by radical in the application is fun after spending years in Nelsons Modern Readers JapaneseEnglish Character Dictionary I was so busy just looking up words I almost missed this feature I also like the implementation of the stroke order for the kanji Tapping to start and stop the writing The size is very nice too I can almost trace over it as it is drawing the character It is slow to load so if you are in a hurry keep another source available But there is a wealth of material very nicely packaged in this app and I believe that an active user base a reduced price would help will be able to steer the developers to an even more effective dictionary when it is updated              Gengo Talking Japanese Dictionary
The Gengo Talking Japanese Dictionary is ok The voice quality sounds extremely compressed The red dot at the top of the screen with the pull down menu to sell additional programs is a nuisance It seems that Inovative Learning is just throwing a bunch of programs at the iPhoneTouch to see what sticks I would prefer one or two first class applications from this group instead of the 9 currently in inventory Give them credit the scope of this program is both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time I recommend waiting for the next rev at the earliest           Its ok
I had high hopes for this app The folks at Japanesepod101 have been doing really cool stuff but this app is not ready for prime time First the program takes a very long time to load and the searches take much longer than Kotoba Audio quality is very poor especially for the male voices Sometimes the sample phrases provided with your search word have nothing to do with that word eg kedo Many common words do not have an audio file like tempura sushi densha etcI suggest using Kotoba free and then bookmarking Jim Breens wwwjdic free and using those audio files which ironically the folks at Japanesepod101 also did and are very good If the sample phrases can be provided with and without kanji so the beginning Japanese learner can work through each word without having to know kanji its value as a learning tool would be much greater     Look elsewhere
I planned on using this app on an iPod Touch The app will not go past the advertisement screen with the Start Now button What good is an app you cannot use I cannot rate it on functionality because so far it has none Beware if using on latest gen devices apparently it does not work     So far Useless
