Charged twice. Deducting a star because I had to pay for new subscription to install on new phone even though I already paid before... :(
This is a great app that enables you to access your EPWING, EB and other dictionaries on Android devices.
I originally gave this 4 stars back in 2013 because the UI could be a little clunky and editing groups or adding dictionaries could be improved, but that's a very minor issue. However, I've been using this literally daily since 2013 and I must say, it is the single most used and useful app I have ever bought.
Must have for Japanese learner? 1.43 was not working on pixel 3 xl but suddenly it is working.
Pixel 2 XL, Android 8.1, March 5 patch level, crashes shortly after granting file access permissions on first startup and then crashes instantly afterwards. Denying permissions prevents crashes, but the means by which you add dictionaries is laughably bad. This is rather disappointing.
Must have.
With latest Dec 10 update, EB looks like it's working again. Old review: Program no longer closes as soon as it is invoked. Trying to understand difference between "dictionary" and "extensible dictionary" paths.
It would be nice if there is a widget added.
I've been using this dictionary viewer for around five years on Windows and Windows Mobile systems, and it's been excellent. Mr. Hishida has created a fantastic app that's extremely useful for language learners, providing a variety of options for finding words, their definitions, and related definitions. On the whole, this app makes language studies much more fluid and comprehensible. The Android version is worth the upgrade as it does almost the same as the aforementioned versions and is continually improved upon, recently (2013) receiving a history feature, gui improvement for ease of use, better look-up integration with other programs, and a semi-jump feature (via the clipboard). Looking forward to improved jump features.
I have been using this app in windows for years. I also used it in windows mobile. Android also works great! A flashcard incorporation would be nice!
Basic usability quirks aside, how does a modern EPWING reader not have a "jump" feature? Seriously? It can't possibly be that difficult to implement. Every 電子辞書 in existence has one, even budget devices.
Very good if you have epwing format dictionaries which are available in Japan. Latest version has a split pane interface which is great.
Excellent app. Fully functional searching and display of photos, too. Pro version well worth it.

Recently the definition of word takes up to 10 seconds to show up, until then its completely blank making the dictionary almost unusable. Edit: When I disabled "continuous mode" it works ok now, what does it even do?
