Jsho Customer Insights

1. I use this app mostly because I can input a whole sentence and it'll define each word individually, or when I need to look up the different conjugations of a verb.I've been using this app for years and I really like how easy it is to use plus it's offline so when I don't have wifi or data I can still use it! Perfect for emergencies.

2. From showing the stroke order of the kana and kanji to showing to the different forms and tenses of a word, this app is useful for those who have just started their Japanese learning.

3. In addition, you can also select radicals if you don't know the spelling of a specific word.I've been using this dictionary app for years and I like the functions that it has.

4. Really dislike that this has happened to what was a great ad free dictionary.This is a neat and useful app that aids my Japanese learning.

5. At the very least there should be a way to see further paginated results.It can take a bit of finessing to input a word and sometimes it can be hard to find the one you should use, though it does tell you what words are more commonly used.

6. Who studies Japanese and doesn't have a Japanese keyboard installed on their phone? Furthermore, it is not possible to input Japanese text by voice typing because of the way Jsho's input field is configured.

7. It makes it difficult to use it as a dictionary when you're in a time and place where is needed.I've been literally using this app everyday for years now.

8. This is the first typo I have ever seen in this app, apart from that it's really doing a great job and has proven to be ever so useful in my japanese learning journey so far.

9. However, the input methods have a few deficiencies: Forcing the user to switch between Japanese and English within the app is cumbersome.

10. I was able to look up words using Kana, Kanji, Romaji, and English.

11. Hopefully future versions will address these issues.The interface is straight to the point and so fast to use thanks to its english to hiragana input; You don't have to switch keyboards at all.
