DAIJIRIN

Just amazing!<br/><br/>You won’t be disappointed for 10000%! <br/>Trust me!

I was looking for a native dictionary with pitch accent data and more detailed definitions. This is exactly what I wanted. If you forget the pitch accent numbers, you can even tap the number and be brought to another page that reminds you which pitch is required.

Daijirin is one of the best Japanese-language dictionaries there is, and this app is beautifully designed and very dependable. Highly recommended to native speakers, and to students of Japanese at the intermediate level and beyond. (I know that several reviewers have opined that the app is only suitable for advanced students, but I would argue that learning to use a kokugo jiten is an indispensable step in moving beyond the early intermediate level; of course it is challenging at first, but the benefits are well worth the effort. Besides, if you weren’t up for an intellectual challenge, then you wouldn’t be studying Japanese!)

As a linguist, I can attest that DAIJIRIN is one of the best dictionaries I've ever had.

A decent Japanese encyclopedia, with slighter fewer features than the 大辞泉 by 小学館, which seems to be its main competitor on iPad. Both let you search by handwriting, which is nice. The encyclopedias you'd get on a good Japanese electronic dictionary, like the 広辞苑 or the スーパー大辞林 are still better, though, with more entires and more comprehensive information in each entry.

If you are able to handle Japanese-to-Japanese dictionaries, than this is the best one you can find in the entire App Store. The UI is very well-designed and helps a lot in discovering new words/phrases.

Hi,<br/><br/>This is a awesome application for practicing reading.<br/><br/>However, even with the max size of the FONT, it is still small. Also, when you pinch to increase the font, it doesnt redraw the characters, so you have to read up and down and this makes me dizzy. <br/><br/>Thanks again for your help, but please fix the font

このアプリのUIに勝る辞書は無いでしょう。
