Help, error reports and suggestions.
Thanks for using the dictionary. If something looks wrong or you'd like an improvement, pick the right channel below.
An error in the dictionary content
A wrong meaning or reading, a typo in an entry, a missing word — this is data from open dictionaries, and corrections are made in those projects, not in the app. Report it to the source — the fix will reach the app with the next update (we aim to update roughly twice a year).
The source of a given entry is shown on the word card and on the sources page.
An app problem or an idea
A crash, a freeze, search behaving oddly, an awkward interface — or a suggestion. That's for us, in the tracker on GitHub (a GitHub account is required):

FAQ
Do I need the internet?
No. Search, sentence parsing and audio work offline. The network is only used for external links and for anonymous usage statistics.
Where do the translations come from?
English meanings come from JMdict, with other open sources for names, kanji, furigana and pitch accent. The full list with licences is on the home page and on the “About” screen in the app.
How often is the dictionary updated?
The content is updated periodically — we aim for an update roughly twice a year, pulling in fresh data from the source projects. Found an error in an entry? Report it to the source (JMdict) and the fix arrives with an update.
How does privacy work?
Your queries, opened words and history never leave the device. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can I add my own dictionary?
Yes. The app imports dictionaries in the od-dict/1 format — see the
format description.
