User reviews

Decent app

Pretty good app but has a few issues, one big one is when dictionaries are imported. The <sub> is not correctly translated into subscript.

The best dictionary engine in the store :)

Many thanks, but could you please make it a bit look nicer in iPad mini? For example, the ‘History’ and ‘Dictionaries’ tabs overlap each other when they are touched. Also, the ‘lock rotation’ option does not function in iPad mini when it is on!

Excellent

Excellent app, very useful.

Just one Complaint: The 4 little icons at the bottom left don’t fit on my iPad mini because of the words next to them. The words don’t really need to be there, so it would be nice if these were just icons so that they fit.

Text in italics is missing

This is a major problem. Dictionaries I use have a lot of information in italics. Can you make it to be displayed?

Another improvement would be support of Lingvo dictionaries.

Fantastic application!

I’ve been using Dicty for more than 5 years before writing this review. For me this is definitely the best stardict application.
It is reliable and quick when loading several large dictionaries at the same time.
It is elegant and easy to use. The UI is clear, typesetting comprehensive and customisable.
It is free and free of advertisements.
Powerful and elegant. A wonderful app.
