Ratings and reviews

The only dictionary app I've found that pops up in-screen in Moon+ Reader. It could be better but it suits my purposes. I'd like more control over the kind of results it provides, but providing too many results is a problem I'd like to have over too few. The Wikipedia results can be a bit much-I don't need notable people related to the word and takes up too much screen, which is the other issue I have.

Had for years, but for some reason, it's only wickipedia . Wikipedia is good, but I look for information on many items from the Bible. The Bible dic is gone. Also, the thesaurus and other sources are gone. Very unhappy. I had a paid version, uninstalling and reinstalling, in an attempt to activate other publications, and I now have ads again. Being retired on SS, I have no use for anything other than I discover I truly need. Which is little more than food, so any ad is only an annoyance.

Guys with Wikipedia on top! It's not app's fault, it's yours, lol. Press the "Folder" button in the dictionary -> you will see the list of your dict bases. Now see the triangles to the right? Well, this is the arrow to move the current database up. You're welcome :D The dictionary is great. I wish I knew how to create a .dict file out of the words I use at work to add it to my app!

What’s new

In Android 11 and higher, the location of dictionary data has changed due to operating system limitations.
