Absolutely terrific!

This is hands down the best Japanese dictionary app out of all the ones I checked out for iOS. It does everything I would want out of an electronic dictionary. Look up words in English or Japanese by entering characters, or selecting radicals, or drawing the kanji. It automatically saves everything you look up to the history so you can refer to it later. You can also bookmark useful entries and organize them into folders. Each entry is very detailed: gives the definition, shows stroke order, gives example sentences, shows the relevant kanji's meaning, and let's you add notes. All words are cross-linked so you can easily jump to another entry. What a wonderful job this developer has done! Worth every penny!

I wouldn't survive in Japan without Midori

I've passed the JLPT N1 and have lived in Japan for the last five years. However, I use Midori wash l each and everyday whether to check the newspaper, to confirm the meaning of a sign I see outside, or to double-check a word that I heard during a meeting. It's so easy to use. One small improvement I would like to see is the ability to put a folder within a folder in bookmarks a little easier. I come across so many words that I bookmark thanks to Midori and would love to be able to organize my lists a little better. Otherwise, this is an amazing app!

This app is fantastic

Not only the best Japanese dictionary, but the best of any foreign language dictionary that I’ve found. UI is clean and easy to navigate. The flash card system is fantastic for learning vocabulary and the adaptive recall system is the perfect amount of functionality without bombarding you with endless options that you need to configure. Using the flash card system I was able to learn almost 1000 words in about a month, by simply reviewing the recommended cards for each day. Only thing that’s lacking - please make an equivalent app for Chinese! :)
