DISCLAIMER
The original source was a PDF file which was read through OCR and digitised. A lot of manual correction was needed and might still have errors. Do let me know if you find any.

Ratings and reviews

I very much like the new overhauled version of the app for the famous Hans Wehr Dictionary! It even has a list of occurrences for Qur'anic words! You can choose the color of the search bar, the background and highlight colors, and much more! There are also many fonts available. It has a link to Quranle, an app to learn the Qur'an, and another link to some collections of hadiths.

Excellent, add free and searchable. One can't overestimate the amount of work it must have cost to enter the whole dictionary as text, rather than as scanned images. Much appreciated!

Very well done and a convenient alternative for students who use Google translate as a crutch. Also very helpful to have the list of verb forms available as well.
