Japanese names have been called the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Q: Do you know to write in kanji the surname Hashizume? A: Here some possibilities: 橋詰, 橋爪, 橋都 and 橋誥. Q: Do you know how many different ways there are of writing Akiko? A: At least 168! Here are just a few: 明子, 晶子, 昭子, 彰子, 亜喜子, 亜希子, 安貴子 and many more.

It’s a shame, really: the contents are great but the app - despite apparently having been updated a month ago - is not suited to current iPhones screens. In fact large black bars surround the opened app and - depending on dark or bright mode usage - buttons become invisible. This sadly renders the app practically unusable.

This app will appear sideways as a tiny box on an iPad. Because the iPad now serves as a laptop replacement it is a shocking surprise.

This gives a lot of readings for names, but it doesn’t do a good job of telling you which names/readings are common and which ones are rare.

We’ve fixed a bug with the bookmarks where bookmarks weren’t being saved after users closed the app. We also fixed a bug with the filter used when searching using Kanji. Lastly, we added a new search filter so now you can filter results by gender.
