Ah great, you found it! It should make a file on the root of your SD Card.

hey! it would be really cool and useful to export our lists so we can read them as a document or such, would that be possible? thanks
(Received on 2016-02-04 05:17:24)
You should already be able to do that! Just go to the list, press the "..." in the action bar (or the menu button on your phone) and then press "Import/Export". Cheers!

Hi! Is it possible to type Japanese characters in Akebi? I have been using the List feature to study Kanji and I've been wanting to add notes in Japanese. Thank you very much!

Hey! You can download a Japanese keyboard to do that, or you can enable Akebi's internal Japanese keyboard (but its not very good right now). Check out your input method options in your settings.

Love the app, but I've found a pretty annoying bug. The romaji-to-hiragana search doesn't turn the double "n" into a proper n-syllable, for example, zannen becomes ざんえん. It works correctly with an apostrophe, but still. Keep up the good work!

Hi! I'm pretty sure this is standard behaviour for most Hiragana input methods. I've tried it on my computer, Google Translate and my phone, and all of them exhibit this behaviour. You're right, I should probably make some kind of fix for this. Thanks!

search restrictions on English are too precise. hunger turns up results, but hungry yields only broken text entry, hung plus ンや or something like that. so clearly, exact spelling is required for English. and its strange hungry is nowhere to be found, implying common set phrases are not included (お腹空いた!), even though that's like half the language.

Hey there! Sorry you're having trouble with that. I've tried searching for "hunger" and "hungry" in the beta version, and both work. So if you're having trouble, give that a shot here: https://craxic.com/akebi-beta/

I thought this was a full dictionary, not just for kanji. as such, it has very limited usage. it would at a minimum be better if each entry had fuller example vocabulary. for instance, kari 仮 doesn't even have karini listed. it has the best character recognition for drawing I've yet seen in a Japanese dictionary for Android, which is nice, but for now, I guess it's back to that generic "Japanese" dictionary app. if only there were a Pleco equivalent for Japanese on Android!

Sorry to hear that! If you're interested, please try the beta version for additional information on each word. Unfortunately, 仮に is not related to the word 仮 there (but they're both in the dictionary), but hopefully its a bit better for you.

First of all thanks for this amazing app. It works great on my tablet (SM-P900, Android 4.4.2) but it crashes every time I try to open the app on my phone (Lenovo P1a42, Android 5.1.1), it began after beta update. Btw if you can add palm rejection or only stylus input mode for devices with large screens I'd be very happy.

Hey there! I think we've discussed this over email. But for anyone else reading this, the solution was to clear the app data. It's a glitch in the word upgrade functionality.

Would be good if the information of the words icludes de JLPT level. Because, when I look for words including a kanji, I dont wont to study words that arent included in the vocabulary list of the JLPT. There are two ways to avoid this: 1. When I push the button "words with this kanji" (I dont remember the real name), the words will ordered by JLPT level. So, the words from N5 will be included below a tab called JLPT N5, and the same for evey level. 2. You can add a filter that only shows the words of one level. You can add two options as well. Also would be good if the you do the same in the list of kanjis, organizing the kanjis by level and strokes count. For beginners the best thing is to study kanjis with few strokes and first levels as well. For example, 一、 二、力、 人、 万、 方、 口、 etc. For the moment, I solve this using this app with Kanji Study that incluse those filters, so I can get all th N5 kanjis organized by stroke count an then use another filter to show just the N5 kanjis with 4 strokes (for example). Howrver that app doesnt allow me to create my own lists and test vocabulary (also, to test N4 kanjis or above You need to pay). So I use that app to look for kanjis and words with those kanjis an then I add them to my list in this app. btw, if you want I have a list with all the kanjis organized by JLPT level and stroke count, made by me. Also Im organuzin all the words by level, level and quantity of kanjis included and stroke count. If you want it to include that in this app, you can srnd me a mail to [REDACTED].

Thanks for the feedback, I've sent you an email. These ideas are all fantastic, but I'm pretty busy improving stability of Akebi at the moment to work on features at the moment. I'll keep these ideas around until I get a chance to make them happen in some regard.

I was testing the option of handwritting kanji and I think its a little uncomfortable. The best one I have seen right now is the one of the app Kanji Study where the stroke adjust automatically to the real shape when your stroke is similar avoiding ugly and distorted strokes caused by a bad precision with the finger. Do you have in mind to add a system of handwritting like that? Maybe you can understand better what I mean trying that app.
(Received on 2016-01-30 17:18:51)
Thanks for the idea, I've seen that sort of system being used in apps my friends in class use, so I'll see if I can make something like that happen.
