DONT USE IT FOR NOW

*** UPDATE - The sync. bug has been corrected, so now this app. is fully usable *** Some bad points regarding the application... - VERY slow startup time - too many adds ! - very slow adn innacurate search - example sentences not easily accessible (miss furigana, should appear in detailed word pages) - kanji details miss a list of common kanji coumpounds Now good points... - pronunciation - skipcode search - flashcards - lot of configuration menus For the moment only two stars ! But can certainly get more with an update

Why

Did you remove stroke order animation?

unstable ?

It is working for a while and then for unknown reason start to crash when I run it... I need to reinstall via Itunes, again, again and again... There is no help at all from the development team to correct the bugs... After 6months still nothing!!!! Do not be surprise that people prefer running hacked softwares when these such persons do not help people who bought the apps...

Gengo Talking Japanese Dictionary

Vom Erwerb dieses Apps muß ich dringend abraten! 1) extrem lange Suchzeit 2) die angepriesenen Audio-Files funktionieren nicht richtig (selbst für gängige Wörter gibt es keine Sprachausgabe- die in der Beschreibung angepriesenen Downloads funktionieren nicht. An der Behebung dieses gravierenden Mangels wird offensichtlich nicht gearbeitet!)

Good but long load and too much ads.

Its a nice small program. However, its a little slow on the load up and there are too much ads.

Good idea but still needs work

It is a great idea, but I have a couple of issues, one is that it keeps crashing, secondly some of the example uasges of the words being looked up are quite strange and thirdly it takes a long time to load the application, when looking up a word I do not have time to wait so long for the application to load.

too slow for on-the-fly reference

ILL LLCs enthusiasm is commendable but they definitely hurt their brand with version 1.0 of this over-ambitious app. 25 seconds to launch makes it impractical as a working reference tool, especially in the context of copy-paste support in iPhone OS 3.0. Having to stare at the over-the-top "Geisha Girl with Mount Fujiyama" splash screen gets old fast. Worst of all, I wasted many precious hours over the past few weeks troubleshooting backup problems before the 1.0.1 release made it clear Gengo Talking Dictionary was the culprit. If only I had deleted it sooner...
