Still the best

I’ve been using Imiwa (and before it, Kotoba) since I first installed it on an iPod touch years ago. For value and sheer awesome usefulness, it can’t be beat, and the fact that all the wonderfulness happens without an internet connection makes it all the better. I just checked here to make sure it works in the latest OS version; I kinda want to upgrade my phone but can’t go there if Imiwa can’t go there with me. It’s that good

I am a lazy person who almost never takes the time to write reviews on the apps I use frequently but I love this app so much that I *needed* to write this. imiwa? has a number of fantastic features. The analyze capability with the auto-clipboard lookup is incredibly useful. Along with the examples sentences and its verb conjugation ability, the app is definitely my go-to when reading Japanese texts.
brief and clear

I’ve used this app for 2,5 years And This is the best app on the app store. There is nothing else to say. Period.
Must-have tool for Japanese language students

From the first time I opened this app with some kanji on the clipboard this app has been a revelation. This so much more than just a dictionary, it’s an instructional translator, a study tool, and so much more. If there’s one language app that’s actually worth throwing money at, this is it. Absolutely fantastic.
Great!

My Go-to Japanese App
Angrybirderer
I’ve downloaded and used pretty much every Japanese language app available for iOS. This has been my go-to app Japanese app for almost a decade now. Being able to create dictionary lists, import and export those lists, create flashcards from the lists, and find almost any word I’ve come across with example sentences has spoiled me to no end. All of this with a great UI and for free no less! It’s not been without its bugs from time to time, but I’ve found they always get addressed with updates. Did I mention it’s free and has been going strong for over 9 years? If you enjoy this app as much as I have, you should seriously consider donating to the developer’s PayPal account.
The Best

I've been using this app multiple times daily for years and years. It's continued to be incredibly useful from the early stages of learning Japanese to now, as a linguist and married to a Japanese woman. I've even started using it as a English-German/Spanish/French dictionary as well, since you can look up words in numerous languages. I would love to buy these developers a coffee. Or a yacht.
Awesome!!!!

I’ve used this app since 2009! For Native English Speakers, this is better than any app or expensive Electronic Dictionary I’ve ever seen. This app coupled with google translate is all the dictionaries a Japanese student needs!!
