Problems after update

Can’t open since the latest update. I have an iPhone XS for reference. Super disappointed as I’ve been using this app for years and have never had this problem. Would love for the developers to get in contact...thanks.UPDATE: Changed review to 5 stars after deleting app and reinstalling, worked like a charm. If you have a problem opening after updating to the last war iOS, try reinstalling. This app is worth every penny. I like using it when I read manga and watch Netflix so I can jot down new vocab. So much faster an convenient than just using a regular dictionary 😭🙌🏾

Worked Well in Japan

I know Chinese, but am innocent of Japanese, so I downloaded this before heading to Japan for a two-week tour. It served splendidly. I nearly always found what I was looking for, and the available voiceovers supplemented with romaji in many compounds made it useful even though I never mastered kana. I was particularly pleased to find many geographical and historical names. If I ran the zoo, I’d increase the number of proper names and include romaji in head entries, but as it stands this is already worth far more than it costs.

What’s wrong

This app is not worth 5 stars , I would give no stars if I could........First......The app is good but it keeps freezing and kicking me out, I paid for the one time subscription fee and it keeps asking me to pay again. I probably paid for it twice already and the app just have too many glitches so it keeps kicking me out. Hopefully this problem gets fixed. And then I can update my review 2nd it keeps asking me to make a nick name for the review and every nickname I use is taken, which leads me to believe I rated the review to low , so I’m trying to give 5 star only to rate the review

Essential for serious Japanese learners

This app does an amazing job of Kanji recognition, even for names!! It is essential for serious study - I am using it to read online newspapers and a paperback novel. My reading skill has greatly improved. The way to use this app is to do a screen capture to your photo roll, or use Camera+ with image stabilization turned on, and then read in the photo. The live camera is too jittery. The ocr window generally needs to be adjusted to be narrower and the zoom increased somewhat in order to get the best accuracy. The developer, Vivien, is extremely responsive to feedback and provides bug fixes.

Great app

Very good app for Japanese learners and travelers, it has all the features you want for a dictionary + some amazing character recognition. The recognition in live mode can be unstable, but works great on still pictures. I also love the ability to copy the recognized text and to analyze it to get the furiganas, it makes reading of Japanese books much easier. It's nice to see that the app is being continuously improved and I'm looking forward to future updates! ありがとうございます!

Best Kanji Jisho

This is the best Kanji dictionary I have ever used. Looking up words is super easy using either romanji or hiragana. The kanji lookup isn’t bad either. Whenever I draw a kanji it does a decent job of figuring out what I’m trying to draw. It also supplies other guesses if the first guess is not what you wanted. The best part by far is the Outlier dictionary which is available for nearly every kanji. It is an additional one-time purchase of $30 but I think it is well worth it (about 30 or so entries are available for free, such as 後). Outlier will break down the kanji into its radical components and show how they explain the original meaning and on-yomi pronunciation. Sometimes the original is far removed from the modern, but even then it is helpful to see the components as I often know how to draw those. At a minimum this is a great reference tool. Add the Outlier dictionary if you are seriously studying kanji and it’s an indispensable study tool (paired with a good kanji textbook such as “Kanji in Context”). I just got to 250 kanji and I wish I had used Outlier from the start.Update: I’ve now studied 900 kanji over two years. The quality of the Outlier dictionary remains very high! I also recently purchased the optical reader to help with unfamiliar kanji in manga. It scans text and allows me to easily look up any kanji or word. It works like magic, even in lackluster lighting. I highly recommend it if you want to read kanji in media.

I WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD

The app is a waste of money and doesn’t give you an accurate translation from pictures. I travelled to Japan and used the camera translation option and it was USELESS! It could only tell me the individual meanings and not the full, overall translation. I tried to use this app for translating menu items in Japan and it would only give me the basic meanings like “water” or “cold”, not even telling me if menu item i was translating was beef or chicken or etc. IT WOULDNT EVEN TELL ME THE TYPE OF FOOD, IT WOULD JUST SAY A BASIC MEANING LIKE “hot”. Complete waste of time.

Bad reviews are misguided

I’d like to preface this review by saying yomiwa is an excellent app for its intended purpose. I am a high school student and use the app for studying. the photo recognition works great and the app provides a lot of sample sentence to go along with the vocab which I find incredibly helpful. Again, The photo recognition works well focused in on a sheet of paper or on a wall, not outside on a street sign. If you don’t speak Japanese or read it and want to be able to get around, you’re better off with a travel dictionary or something. However as far as research purposes go this app works great and easily worth the money in exchange for the added convenience.

Maybe I happened

Definitely recommended. The camera is a blessing on the level of sliced bread! As the app evolves and… The simple functionality is a bit buried but with some direction and searching you can in fact still get to the root of what you are looking for. I am thankful for the developer response and tons of help that enabled me to find the functions that I used so much before. I am glad that they are still there and the app is once again very useful for me.

The camera tool's Godsent gift for visual novels and books

I'm thanking all the developers for making such an app like this especially the camera tool, it's a really saving time tool, I remember when I started learning Japanese in order to play my favorite visual novel games, I was wandering everywhere in the internet without any routine, just wanted sites and tools to help me with knowing the kanjis and words that I don't even know why I started in the first place looking up for, but in no time I got all exhausted from this unorganized routine actions, I realized that I was focusing more on the kanji meaning and words more than what I want to read and understand, and then again, in no time I got bored from these games because I literally didn't get the game mode neither what is happening in it, but when I started using this app is camera tool it made things much more easier and time saving with an organized routine, with all the kanjis and even the words meaning infront of my eyes in one tap, it gave me the leisure to read and understand what the games try to tell me
