*2018-01-26, version 1.2*

Although this looks like a pdf upload the fact is this is the best Arabic to English dictionary ever written and it’s available for free on the iOS platform which has helped immensely as I know any place I can open the application to check a word meaning. 
Works really well when you type in the root letters in the search field with the response within 1-2 seconds maximum.
