Latest reviews of Japanese wordbook & flashcard app for iPhone and iPad

Needs phonetic spelling
The ability to write in kanji and have it translated is great, but with no phonetic spelling of the kanji, its pretty useless as a translation app.
A bit clunky and incomplete
I have a very basic kids book in japanese, and this dictionary cannot translate several of the words. So it must lack common terms and have rather formal contents. Japanese entries say what it is in English, but you cannot look up a word in English and translate it to japanese (unless I missed. How)
