Pros and cons of Shirabe Jisho app for iPhone and iPad
Shirabe Jisho app good for
i cant believe this app has no reviews yet! FINALLY a japanese dictionary app that is FOR FREE and has a "drawing" function which makes searching for Kanji so much easier especially as a beginner! You get everything in this app you usually have to pay for in other japanese learning apps/dictionaries like imiwa etc.
I LOVE IT.
Very helpful app. The fact that it provides the different conjugations of words and the hiragana equivalents of kanji makes it really useful. It also translates expressions which is helpful too.
Helps me learn kanji whether your writing, need the meaning, pronunciation, etc. Really helpful, use it ALL the time.
The best app for learning Japanese. Its integral while in Japan! I would always be drawing on it to see which kanji was on the bus.
This dictionary is really helping me learn some Japanese words that I come across. Its really making me love the language even more!
Ive only just begun using this and I fell in love with the fact that many conjunctions were provided- a unique twist for an app style dictionary.
Very impressed and I hope it will serve me well in my studies.
Some bad moments
I was using another offline dictionary before, but was often troubled because I wasnt able to search kanji by drawing it. This app allows you to search by drawing, works offline, and does so much more! I love the features and the results are definitely instantaneous. This should be anyones go-to Japanese dictionary!
Gone are the days of using google translate in class and getting the wrong translations. Very quick, convenient, and comprehensive.
This seems to be a remake of the taganijisho on pc. I love the format of it. However, I wish there was a kanji list for kanji frequency. That is why I am giving you 4 stars. Add a list by frequency and I will give you 5 stars.
