Yomiwa - Japanese Dictionary for Negative User Reviews
✓ Awful appTerrible app which only reads single words of kanji and not all of the japanese alphabets. It doesn’t work out sentences or phrases and is a complete waste of money. Great idea of an app but needs lots of improvement.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Upgraded a year ago and now I have to pay againGod why does my review keep being deleted. I payed $13 ONE YEAR AGO (I have the receipt) so I could use this app ocr. Now the app ignores I did the purchase, and now asks for another purchase ($17 now!) so I can keep using the ocr feature I originally paid for! It's dumb, it's scummy and if I could, I would take my money back. So beware. Do NOT support devs that ignore past purchases (which were made A YEAR AGO). They may come with another update that might ignore your “pro” purchase in a year from now....Version: 5.1.2
✓ Must be an issue with my iphone: Crashes every time.I'm sure this translation from Japanese characters to English is very difficult, but the user experience needs work..Version: 3.4.6
✓ UselessThe app translates each character individually rather than combined and is thus useless. It also wasn't accurate at recognising hand-drawn characters (a list of possibilities to choose from would be helpful here)..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Looks powerful... but HOW to use?Without any type of accompanying tutorial nor an intuitive menu I have been totally stumped in getting anything out of the product. Googling demos and how-to’s was unproductive and the developers are yet to offer tips or referrals via their query window. Frustrating... as it appears to be an awesome set of tools. Andrew W..Version: 4.8.1
✓ Useless...Try to use the app multiple time with no success... It's a good thing they have menu with pictures or a mockup of the meal in a display outside... I could not decipher the menu for simple things like figuring out if it was a beef or pork soup....Version: 2.0
✓ Great concept, needs work.The app doesn't pick up the correct characters very often and therefore is not usable. However it is an excellent idea and if the scanner could be more accurate I'd be celebrating this app!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Useful app but...Crashes occasionally.Version: 2.1
✓ Is it freeBefore I download it I just need to know is it free?.Version: 4.8.0
✓ Partially worksIt picks up a few words but can’t handle phrases. More than one or two characters at a time and you’re out of luck. It didn’t pick up any of the hiragana or katakana on a package of Japanese sweets I have. A little disappointing but hopefully future updates will improve the app..Version: 3.5.2
✓ ChrisNot good. I have Japanese symbols that mean, The Japan Karate Association and also Shotokan Karate. One cannot get much more Japanese than these organisations, however the translator app failed to translate. Disappointing to say the least..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Can’t test before purchaseWanted to see how the camera recognition worked but can’t test without purchasing first. Oh well, deleted and back to Google Translate..Version: 5.1.6
✓ Not worth the moneyWhen compared to free Google translate I found this app performed worse when translating signs - it just gave translation of each word without capturing the whole phrase or meaning.Version: 4.1.7
✓ Spotty Charcter RecognitionBought this for my trip to Japan to read the more difficult written kanji in documents and Shrine fortunes and such. Sometimes it recognizes most of them, sometimes none at all. I lost confidence in this app pretty early on and just stuck to free dictionaries where you just draw the characters since they’re more reliable.Version: 3.9.8
✓ Clunky and unpolishedWhile useful, the app feels pretty clunky and unpolished. The image translation tool clearly misses quite a few hiragana/kanji, and I can’t find an option to translate from right to left instead of left to right. Viewing inside of the image is also incredibly messy & hard to garner information from. Overall, it helps you get the meaning, but the ease of use on this app is lacking. Wouldn’t want to pay $9 to have to deal with that..Version: 5.0
✓ Not good for reading mangaThis app does not recognize kanji well at all. Most of the time even the manual correction function does not show the correct kanji. It is a gamble whether it will recognize kanji combos as words and as the RIGHT word. I purchased this app to read manga but it makes the reading more difficult instead of easier. I often end up having to draw in a kanji to get the correct definition. Its a waste of time and money..Version: 3.4.5
✓ Not intuitive, didn’t workCould not get this to work, I figured out how to open the camera, then took a photo of my antique Japanese calligraphy sign but alas couldn’t figure it out after that. The photo could not be moved, there was no prompts as to what to do next, no scanning graphic of the symbol followed by translation. Nothing just stuck with the photo scene. I pressed every other button and link but none was the one to translate photo. So I deleted the app..Version: 5.2.7
