The Donation Debacle

Hey everyone! So quite recently, Google deleted my little Japanese dictionary app from the play store! Apparently, I’m not allowed to have a donation button inside the app, and so I had to remove it before they’d let Akebi back on! If you’re really keen to donate, checkout https://donate.craxic.com/. But before you do, please consider instead donating to some of the data sources that Akebi uses. A donation there will help out every Japanese dictionary app, not just Akebi!

  • The Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group is responsible for all of the dictionary and Kanji entries in Akebi (and in many other apps as well). You can donate to them via PayPal: http://www.edrdg.org/donations.html
  • The Tatoeba Project is responsible for providing all of Akebi’s example sentences. As of writing, you can donate via IBAN bank transfer or Paypal: https://tatoeba.org/eng/donate
