・Begins-with ("free" to find "freely"), exact match ("free") or ends-in search ("free" to find "carefree").

          I think in this specific instance, -senpai or -sensei would be more appropriate!

        • @Haulien:

      5.1 or higher. If anyone is still on lower than 5.1 I'd be suprised.

    Excellent app. Entries are very up to date and modern compared to other dictionaries out there. Examples are those you're likely to see in a real world context as compared to a textbook.

  • Great. Will certainly use it. Thanks.

    What is the best Android equivalent?

    • I use the WWWJDIC app quite a bit, though it's not offline.

    • Japanese by Spacehamster is fantastic.

  • "食べます tabemasu) will find the proper entry (食べる taberu)" wow, I understood that without the dictionary……too much anime perhaps?

  • Thanks!!! Just downloaded!

      No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women,
      No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark.
      Everyone around me is a total stranger,
      Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger…
      Everyone!

  • One of the best jap dictionary app + some learning feature I have ever seen.

    Thank you OP!

  • Great app, especially since it's free! The only better app is Midori and it's never free (but it is significantly better as a dictionary). Most of these types of apps now license the same dictionary(s) so the quality of information should be the same (you get exactly the same translated text even).

    It's the additional learning features that make this app shine.

    Android
    JED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.umibouzu.j…
    seems to be an older one
    Japanese for Android, by Renzo, from search in Google Play also available, but can't find link
    This was interesting http://www.thejapanguy.com/the-japanese-app-survival-kit-for…

    • I can vouch for JED. Great offline dictionary.

  • Missed this a couple of years back by a couple of hours. Glad to finally have it :) Thanks TA!

  • I use Aedict in Android. I think it's still free but you can donate using Telstra credit if u wish

    And slightly off-topic, pleco is the Chinese equivalent and it's excellent

  • Can vouch, this is the best dictionary available on iOS and is a great learning aid!

  • Any good must-have app suggestions for Japan as well as this?
