Great app, hope it keeps expanding

Been looking for an app like this for a long, long time. Although Corean education is moving away from Hanja, it is absolutely critical to understanding the language more completely. Generally, I love Daum Dictionary for better understanding of how various, “similar” words have distinctly different tone and meaning, but DuSajeon has a much more responsive and simple interface. Love this app and so grateful to the developer! Please keep expanding the number of words included! This is the app I wished existed when I was a kid struggling with multiple paper dictionaries! ㅋㅋㅋ

This is my favorite of the various Korean dictionary apps I have tried. The interface is well designed and snappy and it’s great to have one that works offline. The sources used to populate the dictionary seem to be of high quality with definitions in English, Korean, and Chinese, and plenty of examples. There are some really useful features here if you have experience with another East Asian language: the prominence of the hanja display, the ability to show variants of the hanja from other languages next to the Korean ones, and the ability to freely switch between searching in any of the four supported languages are all highly useful. There are still some rough edges I’d like to see sorted and some features I’d like to see:* romanizations are strict character-by-character transcriptions and don’t accurately reflect pronunciation which imo defeats a lot of the purpose of having them* there is pronunciation hangeul, which mitigates the above problem, but it’s not there for every word where the pronunciation deviates from the spelling* you can’t hear the pronunciations unless you turn on your ringer* it’d be really useful if you could export your bookmarks to Anki* some words appear twice. They are different definitions, presumably from different sources, but the display could probably be better. * conjugations would be a useful feature, especially if you could also search by conjugated wordsIn spite of these suggestions I do use the app regularly and it was well worth the price.

I was loving the Korean Chinese based Character options and explanations, now I realize it is also a fully functional dictionary. This is the best for bookmarking newly learned words, seeing the Chinese based Character used and then linking it to other words that use those Chinese based Characters. With 60% of Korean words being Chinese character based; this Dusajeon Korean Dictionary is awesome. I enjoy learning a character and then seeing a list of words the character is used in.

As a Japanese speaker learning Korean, this is absolutely the best dictionary app out there. My only small complaint is you can’t copy the hangul for words. You can copy the hanja but not the hangul too, which is inconvenient if you want to make flashcards from them. Thanks so much for this free resource
