Description

“Dictionaries” is an electronic dictionary viewer app made to allow users to efficiently use various dictionaries. Our popular standalone apps have been integrated into a single app where users can search multiple dictionaries at once. You can purchase and use a variety of dictionaries, including English, Japanese, French or other language dictionaries, from the “Dictionary Store” which can be accessed from within the app. Searches • Batch Search (Consolidated Search) allows users to search multiple dictionaries at once. • The display order of dictionaries used in the batch search can be customized. • The keyboard language switches automatically depending on dictionary search groups. • Handwriting input is possible for Japanese, Old Japanese, Kanji, Chinese, Korean, and Russian dictionaries. • Using Pattern Search, users can search for words even if a part of the spelling is unknown. Trace and Jump • Users can easily jump to not only other words in the same dictionary but other dictionaries as well simply by tracing words in a definition, allowing users to go on a journey of intellectual curiosity through the dictionary as their hearts desire. Collection • Purchased dictionaries are shown as icons on the Collection screen. • By opening a dictionary from the Collection screen, users can also carefully go through a single dictionary. Even in this case, users can use the “Trace and Jump” function to easily jump to another dictionary. • The display order of dictionary icons on the Collection screen can be changed to the user's preference. Bookmarks • Users can bookmark their favorite words. In addition, users can also efficiently categorize these bookmarks using the Bookmark Folder. • By turning on Quick Bookmark, users can quickly add/remove bookmarks simply by tapping the Bookmark icon. Search History • In History, display frequency is automatically recorded so that users can immediately recognize words they search for repeatedly. iCloud • Users can synchronize Bookmark and History data among all devices by turning on iCloud. Multitasking • Users can display websites, documents, and more alongside their dictionary by using the Multitasking function on the iPad. By turning on Clipboard Search, users simply have to copy the word they wish to look up in order for the app to find that word in multiple dictionaries. Substantial Lineup • The Dictionary Store carries a large number of full-scale dictionaries, and we plan to further improve this selection in the future as well. • The following English dictionaries are available. Check in the Dictionary Store, which can be accessed from within the app, for more information on each of these items. - Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 10th edition (OALD) - Oxford Learner’s Dictionary of Academic English - Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus - Oxford Collocations Dictionary - Collins English Dictionary with Thesaurus The following items will be released in April 2024 - Practical English Usage - Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 10th edition - Collins COBUILD Advanced American English Dictionary 3rd edition - Collins COBUILD Intermediate Learner’s Dictionary 4th edition An internet connection is required to purchase content.Usage fees and terms of use may apply.

    過去に購入した、同社販売の単体辞書アプリの統合も可能なので、後に同社の他のアプリの購入を検討されている方は便利かと思います。

    I wanted to buy it but noticed it works online. Why wouldn’t you add full offline support for this one? I read when I go somewhere and I won’t be able to listen examples only a word, why? I have a lot of memory on my phone and what use of it.

    Monokakido’s app spoils me. It’s perfect. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and full of pleasant surprises. I’ve purchased many dictionaries from them and have never regretted any. Compared to quality printed dictionaries, they are very affordable and there is simply no downside to buying digital. Only upside - it’s with you on all devices, you can look at your history to learn better, and the pattern based search makes finding things far easier than paper. And Monokakido doesn’t stand still. New dictionaries are released often. Just as one example, I looked today to see that my favorite grammar dictionary was just added and is on sale. It’s almost as if the company is reading my mind. I hope Monokakido considers publishing more of the world’s dictionaries over time. Their style, attention to detail, and love for dictionaries make this app a true gem.
  • Best Japanese Learning and Reference App

    This application works so well when you have multiple high quality dictionaries that you will never want to use anything else again! They recently added a grammar dictonary as well. So when you input something to look up, you are given a whole range of knowledge depending on what books you purchase in the app. It is fast and well polished and it only gets better as time goes on with more book options being added all the time. This is the one app that keeps me on Apple devices!
  • Bookmark Enhancement

    By ap.hl
    Swift and useful dictionary app. But the bookmark function seems way too primitive and 2 basic features are needed: 1. User’s note for bookmarked item; 2. Bookmark export as csv file (including user’s notes).
  • INDISPENSABLE tool for a lifelong Japanese learner and translator!

    Things I love: -Clean design, very easy to use and lots of visibility and other settings (font size, search order) -AMAZING content (everything from learners dictionaries to big expensive unabridged dictionaries like Reader's, Random House, and Kenkyusha, and the Robert French-Japanese dictionaries). This has replaced my trusty old Casio Electronic Dictionary. -One purchase is shareable between all devices-- I use this app and its contents on my iphone, ipad, and Mac, syncing seamlessly. -Great support: whenever I have had any issues, I get polite and helpful replies from the Japanese staff. Things that could get better: -Just keep adding content. The Kanjigen kanji dictionary, and the Kenkyusha Shin Ei-Wa Daijiten are two that I would be very excited about. -To people who aren't used to spending money on a dictionary, relying on free dictionary databases, or the internet, I would just say that I've found the quality of definitions and examples to always be worth the price in the long run! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
  • Errors

    By sadpatheticme
    I cannot restore or update dictionaries that I bought. It says there is an unexpected error and I need to force restart iOS. I did force restart many times, but it does not work. I have plenty free storage space left, so that should not be the problem. Also, sync issues: devices do not have the exact same number of bookmarks.
  • I have purchased seven dictionaries and none of them can be installed
