Gengou Lib App Reviews

Excellent Reference Application. It was always difficult figuring out the Japanese year period. This app helps out soooo much.

Interesting. My wife and are always trying to figure out dates in Emperor years, so this is helpful. Don't think that the current emperor is going to make it until the year 2100 though.

Would be neat if it worked. I have a 3G and this app doesn't open at all. What gives?

:)). Awesome for talking about the past in Japanese. Def like the ability to type Japanese now. Sweet

A must for j-Drama fans. and any aficianado of j-culture. Watching subbed j-media invariably have references to j-years. This is great for quick lookup

Great app. Forgot to leave stars.

最高！. 超必要これ！日本語版作ってくれるの？ローマ字じゃなくて。。。 I sooooo need this living in Japan! You Rock!

For those who don't know Japanese history. Svaiyre left something out in the review. Yes, you can do what this app does by yourself using a calculator or your brain... IF you have an intimate knowledge of Japanese history and know the dates when the emperors died by heart. For the rest of us, this is an invaluable tool with many uses. It saved me 4 times in the last 3 weeks, especially while trying to sign up for a bank account and renting a mansion. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a heisei 19 mansion to move into

Nice. Clean. Simple. Great job!

Handy app!. Nothing fancy here... clean, simple, and gets the job done. Great reference tool. Wish I'd had it when I lived in Japan!

Asians. Asian people look like monkeys.

You are a saint!. I hate doing conversions in my head. Kudos!

最高ーカンタンーFree. 最高〜〜〜!!!

haha how JDM. its cool becuase its free lol

straightforward and to the point. As other reviewers have noted, this app lets you convert between gregorian and japanese era calendars. It does this by presenting two spinning wheels (one with the western year, the other with the japanese year) which are locked to one another - you can spin either one and the other will turn to match, letting you look up the corresponding date. Of course, you *could* do this in your head, especially for the most current era (heisei) since you always know what the most recent year of the era is, but once you start getting into past eras, it becomes increasingly difficult unless you have the exact years of the emperor's death and the length of their reign memorised, something which most Japanese, especially young people, do not. For this reason, most Japanese day planners come with a small conversion chart in the back for reference. If you live in Japan and have such a chart you probably won't need this application but if not, and you find yourself needing to convert between the two calendar systems, it can be quite handy. At any rate, it's free, so you can't go wrong!

Doesn't really do much.... This app is just to convert years on the Gregorian calendar to/from those in the Japanese empirical calendar. This can be done simply with one's brain or a calculator, however. It does what it's supposed to do, but really nothing more; if you're like me and you have plenty of apps littering your home screens, this probably won't be one app you'll keep. At least it was free.

Awesome!!. Good job . It helps Japanese lives in US too long.

Nice app. Now I can finally understand what those Japanese era are reffering to.

Very useful. Very useful app for Japanese who lives outside of Japan. Thanks to the developer

わかりやすい. Does what it says it does; matches years from the Western calendar to those of the Japanese. I can't imagine ever having to buy the full version... all the functions are here in this free one!
