### 5/5 — Great new arrival among Stardicts

*2018-01-09, version 1.5.1*

This is a great app that is functional and intuitive. In the meantime, Dictionary Universal was the best among the Stardict dictionaries. However, Dictionary Universal has been lagging behind with recent improvements (the app still does not support Split view). At this time, Dicty is well-formed to be more than a substitute for the Dictionary Universal. I would like to expect only two improvements to this app. First, I would like to be able to use the pronunciation voice files as supported by Dictionary Universal. Secondly, I hope that the search interface is improved so that one word at a time can be easily converted into multiple dictionaries (in Dictionary Universal I can swipe fingers left and right to change the dictionaries).

### 5/5 — Fantastic thanks

*2017-08-11, version 1.5.1*

Seems to work as described. Very nice to be able to select your choice of dictionary from the many online and combine them into one app. In case anyone needs an example I'm using the GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English.

### 5/5 — So handy!

*2016-04-15, version 1.2.0*

Performance and design of this app is so adorable, I use it all the time for my French learning.
iOS 9 slide over support made this app really indispensable.
It would be still better if word suggestions of iOS default keyboard was active.
Hope to have it in the next update.
Thanks a lot 👌🏻👍🏻😍

### 5/5 — Simply the best Dictionary app

*2016-01-15, version 1.2.0*

I have a lot of dictionaries in stardict format so this app I really useful for me.
Split view support as well as clipboard monitoring makes translation much easier. 
5+

### 5/5 — A must have

*2015-12-06, version 1.1.0*

Super intuitive and handy. Threw out Lingvo for it.

### 5/5 — Finally, a great free stardict app

*2015-10-22, version 1.1.0*

Fast, free, simple, good looking. I am learning a second language and rely on this app multiple times every day. Good stuff!

### 5/5 — Execellent universal dic for stardic format

*2015-04-06, version 1.0.1*

Plz! update fuzzy search

### 5/5 — Супер!!!

*2015-03-15*

### 2/5 — Some sorts of issues

*2019-01-08, version 1.6.0*

At first glance, the app looks great, esp. in the working speed, behind the fact of no ads etc. comprised that counts a lot. However, I found significant imperfections:
- in my case a half of dictionaries were able to be imported, though they all are stardict
- almost each dict article is cut off when displayed. That looks as a markdown serious bug revealing in different places of the complex text.
- No suitable contacts to communicate this to a support/ developer. The specified Twitter account may rest to the Twitter fans when no options provided :-/

### 3/5 — Text in italics is missing

*2024-07-28, version 1.7.1*

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.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2020-07-31, version 1.6.0*

Wish the app supported iOS 13 Dark mode and .bgl dictionary files.

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2026-05-20, version 1.7.1*

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

### 4/5 — Feature request!

*2020-02-03, version 1.6.0*

This dictionary is great but can you update it to able to parse images in res directory. Some dictionary data using images as resource of output. Thanks

### 5/5 — The best dictionary engine in the store :)

*2025-11-23, version 1.7.1*

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!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-12-13, version 1.7.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Fantastic application!

*2023-11-13, version 1.6.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2022-06-04, version 1.6.1*

Works great. Just add any dictionary in StarDict format and it works like a charm. Can add using a URL or iMazing.

### 5/5 — Thank you so much :)

*2022-03-06, version 1.6.1*

Very useful app.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-05-13, version 1.6.0*

Notched screen support, widget, clipboard auto-reading. Thank you for this amazing FREE app.

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2019-03-22, version 1.6.0*

Aparte de ser gratis, permite ir visualizando las palabras que vas buscando. Genial.

### 5/5 — History export & iOS dicts crosssearch (DictSharp), please

*2018-11-08, version 1.6.0*

Great app, thanks a lot for the good work!

### 5/5 — Finally stardict dictionaries on iPad!

*2018-10-27, version 1.6.0*

Pretty much all ios & android dictionary apps are obnoxious commercial, spyware junk. Except for this one. It supports and makes it easy to install free stardict dictionaries and there appear to be no ads or other forms of in-app nagging or harassment. People have complained that the ui could use some updating, but I think it is just fine: simple and distraction free.

### 5/5 — Powerful and slim

*2018-03-23, version 1.5.1*

By far the best I've seen.
