아무도 아닌 나,
Great but one downside
Firstly, I really appreciate this sleek app. It makes looking up words and seeing examples so easy, and I really love the writing support. However, there is one thing that feels like a bug. I mainly use this app while using my ipad. I open Midori as a Slide Over app. When writing kanji, a fantastic mini window pops up for me to start writing, however when I use the apple pencil, after one stroke the window immediately expands into the full writing window taking up the bottom part of my screen. If I only use my finger to write in the mini window, there is no problem; it only happens when using the apple pencil.
This isn’t the biggest deal, and I think you deserve 5 stars regardless. I’d love it if the apple pencil didn’t make the mini writing window expand, but it’s not going to stop me from using the app. Thanks again for the great app!

Incredible
This is the best dual language dictionary I’ve ever used. I have heavily studied 4 languages and never seen anything like this. Because Japanese is so complex, with multiple alphabets, so many sounds meaning so many different things, so many different ways to say things, it’s overwhelming. But this app is highly organized. You can approach from grade level, to most used words, can save words in different folders, make notes, it breaks down how to write characters step by step…I just keep discovering more abilities with this app, it’s so cool.
One of my favorite things is that you don’t have to switch keyboards to look up a Japanese word, you can write out the sound/characters of the word/syllables using the English keyboard and it will present you with the Japanese characters

CKYrunner,
I use this app everyday!
As an English speaker living in Japan for the past year and a half, I have found this app extremely helpful. I bought it when I had zero Japanese ability and now am studying for my n2 exam. I utilize almost all the functions of this app daily from studying vocabulary to looking up words I don't understand in daily life. I love that I can save words in my own lists for later study. The new updates including the additional "common" label for words as well as being able to write any stroke order have made this app even more convenient. When learning new vocabulary, I love that most words have multiple example sentences. Adding sentences to more words can make this excellent app even more outstanding. I think this app is worth every ¥$€£. Thank you!
peacetype,
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!

Great Learning Tool for Japanese
I use this app about everyday for learning how to read Japanese involving kanji. It’s great that there are multiple ways to look up unknown kanji with this app. The way I use it is to use the multi-tasking feature of my iPad to open up the Google Translate web page with Safari on the left side of the iPad screen, and then to open up Midori on the right side of the screen. Then I can look up individual kanji and Japanese words with Midori, and then either cut-and-paste or type the words into Google Translate on the left side of the screen so I can quickly translate entire Japanese sentences into English.
blindstudy,
Great dictionary but lacks something invaluable
I’ve tried many Japanese dictionaries and Midori ended up being my favorite by far. Great functionality, minimalistic but easy to see design, good speed and the best kanji writing feature I’ve seen so far.
However, there’s one thing that’s keeping me from giving 5 stars to this app: it lacks cloud sync, which is something other apps have. It’s very frustrating to have to save my bookmarks in dropbox on the phone and then open, extract and save them in my iPad’s app. This takes out a lot of time since I use both devices often daily. I’ve thought about picking other dictionaries before multiple times due to this particular feature missing. I sincerely hope this will be implemented soon.

Cheunga22,
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! :)
wiseachoo,
Amazing app, my go to for all studies.
I use this app for everything, including the translate section for copy pasting NHK easy articles to gain reading practice. Having the handwriting recognition built in is also super useful.
To the developer: it would be great to have support for toggling on a “dark theme” as the white background gets a bit tough on the eyes at times.
Update: Downgraded current rating from 5 to 4 stars as the translate lookup functionality has some pretty glaring bugs. A good example is the following sentence: こちらは原先生です。The first word こちら exists in the dictionary itself but isn’t parsed during translate. I’ve seen many cases such as this requiring me to rely on additional apps. Please fix this.

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!

Phibonachi,
For years, still the best
Ignore dictionaries that try to be too much (imiwa? Shirabe? Japanese?). I’ve tried them all, still prefer the smooth efficiency of Midori.
The pros:
fast, reliable, good handwriting, stroke and radical lookups, bookmarking, pitch accent guides, click-through to dive deeper. Works fine on on iPhone and iPad.
I was able to easily integrate it with my massive hand tuned Anki decks (10,000+ cards I’ve used for a decade), so I have the best possible integrated flash cards, too. If you want kanji writing recognition flash cards, get Skritter. It’s worth it. But for a dictionary, the only thing you need after Midori is DAIJIRIN, when you’re ready to learn Japanese in Japanese. Forget the rest.
Cons:
Can’t sync word lists (bookmarks) automatically. It does have a reliably functional export-import that I use to mail myself to manually sync once/week. It’s a workaround that works, and not ridiculously cumbersome, but automatic direct sync would be nice.
