Best dictionary application This is the best dictionary application I've used. Though it would be wrong to say this is just a dictionary. It could handle as many dictionaries as you could throw at it. ColorDict is is just a container for them. My feature requests would be to allow .csv exports of all the words I've starred—so I can also bring in other apps (like Anki for flashcards) to learn the words I encounter while reading e-books in Moon Reader (it already allows you to export as text and via email and to change the fonts (at lea

No longer sees dictionaries after fresh install As of 2011, was my favourite offline dictionary & single-word context translator. New phone, new install, install dictionaries but it can't see them. Was 4 stars until now. Hope it fixes. Using app v.4.41 on marshmallow.

Good dictionary for a quick look up This dictionary is convenient for a quick look up definition of words I used for may be 4years or more. But doesn't have much explanation of the words. I sometimes have to use other online dictionary to look up further in depth explanation, also needs a spell checker function, would make it more helpful. But other than that it's a good little dictionary.

No longer working properly I've used Colordict for at least a year and always loved it but suddenly it won't look words up in Wikipedia. I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled everything with the only difference being that it now lists Wikipedia under dictionaries, not that it uses it to look something up though.

Loved the App until... Wikipedia search stopped working. I have been using this app for years on all my devices and loved it! Anyone know how to restore Wikipedia to the results? Reinstall does not help as that is when Wiki stopped showing up.

Disappointed! Updated - Uninstalled after 3 years. Why? When I changed my phone and re-downloaded the app, it kept asking to download another app. If I have to download 2-3 additional apps for 1 app to work, I'd rather get another all-in-one.

Nahla Dimapunong April 7, 2016

Great Offline Dictionary! UPDATE: The offline British pronunciation suddenly doesn't work anymore.. Pls fix it! OLD: It has free AmE pronunciation, thesaurus, and synonyms! There's an ad below but it's non-intrusive so still love it! Compatible with FBReader!

Naadir Duglas January 5, 2016

Not just a standalone dictionary long tap a word in an app I use moon reader and it will find the definition via this app. GENIUS best reader out there and this dictionary has yet to let me down great job devs

Andrzej Piontek November 18, 2015

There is no competition for this dictionary. Amazing tool. The only thing missing is ability to upload and automatically backup history on Google drive. Also, the pronunciation still doesn't work and neither keyboard pops out automatically after opening the app.

Sinan Tatlicioglu March 15, 2016

Custom dictionary not working This is a very very good application but I can't manage to upload any custom dictionary. Maybe I am doing something wrong. If this is the case please help...

Sarbadaman Gop January 29, 2016

WE HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN SUCH AN AMAZING APP JUST NEED NOT ANY EPITHETS, SUPERB. ....ONE OF THE BEST.💜 DICTIONARY, I HAVE EVER SEEN. .FULL OF DETAILS, .IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET AN APPLICATION. I M SATISFIED WITH THIS APP. ....

Loki Wolfsong July 29, 2016

Latest update broke it I used to love this thing. It integrated smoothly with Moon+ Reader, let you play audio files of British or American pronunciations offline, and had handy links to more resources. However, the most recent update broke the app. It continuously prompts to download dictionaries, and when it attempts to install them, it uninstalls the entire app instead. This has happened on both my Samsung Galaxy S5 running on Marshmallow, and my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (2012 ed.) on KitKat. If the issue is fixed in the future, I'll definitely reinstall ColorDict, but for now I've got to switch to something that works.

TechnoCity ye November 30, 2015

Thanks. It's Very helpful. With a very stable GUI not found in many dictionaries. Is it possible to add spell checker that suggest many possible correct words when you mistype, that would be more helpfull..also selecting multiple words in the history list would be good .

Sylvester Sam May 8, 2016

BAD offline words database. Where can I get a better offline thesaurus database for this app? There are so many missing entries in the default database and the words aren't that uncommon either. This app isn't completely free because it has ads in it, and I expect better for something with ads.

A Google User September 13, 2016

STILL. DOESN'T. WORK! Five years ago I tried this because it's supposed to work with Moon+ reader. STILL doesn't because the dictionary needs some data files that have to be added from a PC. How about no? Uninstalled for the last damn time.

Kathy Edmonds May 20, 2016

What happened? Did NOT have to do this before BUT hit settings, at top hit 3 box symbol to open list of dictionaries, download. After install hit your back button, touch the 3 dots on one you just loaded to 'open', it will auto install into dict and uninstalled itself!

Asad A July 15, 2016

Great app but if we r connected to the Internet then there should be an option that the dictionary searches the word online and gets the meaning and the pronunciation and if possible a image of the thing searched! Do this n u guys will definitely deserve 5 stars

Ahmad Moawya June 15, 2016

Finally fixed. Would love marshmallow text selection search. Also, definition in pop-ups in chrome (similar to eBook readers) would be very handy. Less interruptive.

Oleg Tretyak February 17, 2016

Great app (with some glitches)! Remarkable application, but unfortunately, this doesn't work properly (ver. 4.4.1) on Android 5.1.1 (blank frames in the translation view for most of the installed dictionaries).

Tyler Holden November 29, 2015

Please help! This is my favorite dictionary so far, except for one thing. Every single time I open the program, it prompts me to download offline dictionary data first. But I have downloaded everything I can! So annoying. Any help devs?

Jessie Jeffree February 15, 2016

Won't recognize dictionary data I've used this app before, but after uninstalling it then reinstalling, colordictionary won't recognize the dictionary data I installed for it, why doesn't it work after the update? Please fix, this was a very useful app.

Tejo S December 22, 2015

Keeps bugging me the same error I downloaded this and other dictdata apps in playstore, but whenever I open this app, it says "download offline dictionary data at first". I even downloaded a tar.bz2 file and put it in sdcard/dictdata but still getting same error. If u can help me out I'll change the rating

Nguyễn Khánh Vương April 12, 2016

Very good app on Android kitkat but... I'm unable to use it on Android lollipop because the app is installed on internal memory & it cannot find out the dictdata put on sd card.

vorne eryan November 22, 2015

bug with the tts it only reads the words in american english pronounciation, even the uk english sounds exactly the same. my device is a MI PAD with MIUI. but still a good offline dict...

Rita Khan July 22, 2016

Color Dic This Dic was my favourite until I changed to the latest SAMSUNG Galaxy A9 Pro. Every word I searched says "No results"! Why?! Can someone please help me to solve this? Otherwise I will have to uninstall this app which has served me so well for the past few years!

Don Rideaux-Crenshaw September 18, 2016

Lame Just lame. Never has useful entries. Wikipedia support? I don't think so.

Sheela Lakhani September 24, 2016

Superb! till changed mobile. I was using the app.for 2 years..with Samsung galaxy note 3...while reading ebook..it was very helpful...but recently I changed my mobile to Samsung note 5..now it gives me message 'error in thesaurus ' though I uninstalled and downloaded it twice ..still not working.what should I do..

Anindita Rini January 3, 2016

How the hell it is a dictionary? I used to use this as a side support for meaning. It was good then, But recently all it provides is Wikipedia. I wanted proper dictionary, not Wikipedia

Jeanette Ercia December 23, 2015

Very useful , however The pronounciation of words either in american or british is always error. I hope you can fix this. I like this app very much.

Trung Hoàng December 22, 2015

Display bug on CyanogenMod 12.1 (5.1.1) Colordict is my most favorite dictionary app by far. But since I have upgraded my phone to CyanogenMod 12.1 (5.1.1) it has been not displayed the meaning of words from offline dictionary anymore. Just a white blank and nothing more. Please fix this bug.

Dona Idowu March 28, 2016

Nice dictionary but why is it not functioning again. Its asking me to download offline data first. Can you fix this problem please. I do update regularly .

Fionn Anderson February 29, 2016

It's very useful However the UI is ridiculously outdated looking. It really needs an update for the new material design.

Paramhans Jiddanand November 19, 2015

Cool app. This application is far better than many other junk apps. It's fun, easy and very much helpful way of looking, learning and writing.

Naushad Nazar February 10, 2016

Love It ColorDict is fantastic peace of software. It's flexible, expendable container which let's you chose the type of dictionary you are comfortable with. Stardict dictionaries go well with colordict and may enhance its usability. This software is the only one I gave 5 stars and it deserve it.

Vivek Singh November 23, 2015

Not working After installing several dictionaries( Off course of WordNet and all), none is showing. Only wikipedia. Can't work offline. Fix it.

Union Good April 13, 2016

Change the interface and icon Very good app, but needs a colourful, bright, and sleek appearance. We are tired of the appearance and that brown icon and the dull user interface color

Walter Price September 16, 2016

Not work Does not work with Wikipedia or Dictdata WordNet dictionary. Have reinstalled. Basically worthless. Using Android 6. Maybe that is problem as worked fine in KitKat.

Asvar Samaa June 21, 2016

Great app I was always looking for a dictionary with rich offline data plus easy online access. Additionally, the pronunciation in two accents is really helpful. I would suggest this to all android users!

CHADD SIMON November 21, 2015

Best dictionary out - Simple and effective The fact that you could highlight any word in an article that you are reading and seek a definition on this app is wonderful. An excellent standby app for when you need clarification on a word or even going to as far as Wikipedia to seek a definition.
