QuickDic Dictionary

Reimar Döffinger

About this app

Uses data from Wiktionary to generate dictionary files that can be used offline. These can be downloaded from within the app. Both translation and single-language dictionaries available.
Use the long-press menu of a word to have your device's text-to-speech implementation speak it for you (you may need to install text-to-speech data for the language first).

If you experience app crashes I can generally see, investigate and often fix them. But if they do not get fixed I likely do not have enough information to do that, and reporting them (and other issues) on github (https://github.com/rdoeffinger/Dictionary/issues) would likely be helpful.
Note: I am not the original author, but I took over maintenance of the original QuickDic app.

Source code is available here: https://github.com/rdoeffinger/Dictionary but little documentation (in the readme.txt) so far.

The adventurous can choose to get the beta version here if you want to follow development more closely: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.reimardoeffinger.quickdic

Ratings and reviews

Very good dictionary app. I especially like the fact that I'm allowed to store the often large dictionary data files on my external storage card. Only one issue for me: There is the option for a dark theme UI, which I prefer. This works well when using translation dictionaries. However, when using the single language dictionaries, in my case English (I tried with French and saw the same result), the content displayed when you look up the definition of a word is displayed as black text on white background. This is very blinding when used in dark lighting because of the sudden switch from dark theme to a blinding bright white light in your face. I would love a consistent theme throughout.
