### 4/5 — Great dictionary

*2026-03-06*

I’ve been using this app since 2014, it’s an amazing dictionary, but I do think more words need to be added and the UI needs an update.

### 3/5 — Premium package

*2026-01-31, version 2.1.15*

I thought I was buying an app for $1.99 and noticed a $34.98 charge on my credit card.   Which features am I getting extra because I don’t see it.

### 5/5 — Best Arabic tool

*2024-10-06*

I’ve been using this for years. I am not a person who pays for apps but this app is 1000% worth it! It’s the most helpful for finding definitions and roots. A must-have for Arabic students.

### 5/5 — Excellent all around app

*2024-08-08*

MashaAllah it’s simple and faster than any other app I’ve used so far.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-07-27*

Very good dictionary.

### 4/5 — Love it, very useful

*2024-07-16*

I was hesitant to purchase it but I’m glad I did. It has helped me in studies, past few months immensely. I took the risk of buying it hoping that it works offline, it does.

There’s minor inconsistencies with browse and search I’ve noticed, but it’s nothing major.

### 4/5 — Very beneficial app

*2024-07-15*

I have been using this app for 5 yrs now it helps with / 
Out my Arabic studies  
I love the updated futures

### 5/5 — Clean and effective

*2024-03-13*

The simple interface - uncluttered by ads or overwhelmed by synonyms - is perfect for quickly and accurately grasping the meaning. Also allows lookup of a word from English. Many thanks to the developer!

### 5/5 — Great app but no longer works

*2021-03-06*

This is a great app that I have relied on for years. It was my essential go-to Arabic-English translator. Unfortunately it doesn’t work anymore. Every time I try to open it, it force closes. I really hope the app developer will update it so it starts working again.

### 5/5 — One of my most used apps

*2020-12-27*

Make sure you download this app as not only does it have all the words available for offline use, but you can add prefixes and suffixes to a word and it’ll still show you the word. And it’ll show you the root, it’s translation and other words like it.

Also, if you go to the “browser” section, you can search a word in English and most of the time the word shows in Arabic. As I know many were asking for this feature and it’s available! But in order to see the root you have to input that Arabic word in the “dictionary” section. 

Some people were complaining about not being to remove the keyboard from the screen, but there’s an option at the bottom right hand of the keyboard you can remove it from your screen.

Another app to help you see the mudaari’ ‘amr, and all the forms is if you download an app called “ACON Arabic Conjugator” and you can also download the “Hans Wehr” dictionary to see the masdar and all the different meanings of the verb, and much more.
