## What is My Dictionary?

The word’s on the tip of your tongue — and it won’t come out. Sound familiar?

I built My Dictionary because I know that feeling. It's a tool to turn a "foreign" language into yours: you collect vocabulary from real life so that when it matters — in a meeting, on a trip, in conversation — the right word comes by itself.

For anyone who wants to speak, not just know the translation.

 • Keep what you see: Run into a word in a book or on a sign? The camera scans it straight into your dictionary. Heard it in a podcast? Type it in. No scattered notes — your own dictionary, growing with you.

 • Words that stick: Not just the translation — the full picture: pronunciation, examples, where the word came from. You understand the word — so it stays in your head.

 • Agent Pip, your AI tutor: Chat about your words, get explanations when something doesn’t click, and add vocabulary straight from the conversation.

 • Forget the fear of forgetting: Our spaced repetition system brings back exactly what you find hardest. What tripped you up today, you’ll say tomorrow without thinking.

 • Progress you can feel: Watch words move from “new” to “learning” to “mastered”. You see your growth in the charts — and feel it in how confidently you speak.

Bottom line: You’re not studying words. You’re making them yours — so when you need them, they’re already there.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-07*

I love this app me and my friend are making our own language and love how we can collaborate and work on it together! The app may not have been made for this, but it works quite well for made up-languages!

**Developer response:** Wow! That’s definitely something I didn’t expect people would do in my app! Thank you for the review!

Have fun!

### 5/5 — What happened to the AI generating definitions?

*2025-11-12*

I paid for the premium version so I would have an unlimited amount of requests to generate definitions and sentences. I wish there was a way to turn this feature on and off. Because it is sometimes rather slow. I like the definitions it generates and having two sentences to understand the context better. However, it no longer does either of these things.

**Developer response:** Hello sir! Please, check out release 5.0.2. The issue you mentioned should be solved. I have found a reason why some users with premium subscription were unable to get definitions from AI. 

Please let me know how it goes! Thanks for helping me out to identify the issue!

### 5/5 — Personal Dictionary with quiz

*2025-10-05*

Simple personal dictionary/glossary that syncs across iCloud. Multiple types of quizzes for the terms+definitions. App developer is responsive to fix things and help

### 5/5 — Теперь это моя любимая программа

*2025-10-04*

Я долго искала именно такую программу которая не просто переводит слова а позволяет глубже понять смысл слов и выражений. Спасибо команде за труды и желаю процветания.

### 3/5 — Personal dictionary

*2025-09-30*

Not sure how to use the quizzes anymore. In the older version I could see them but now I cannot. I also cannot drag the window to make it full screen anymore. There is no scroll bar anymore either to drag down the list which is not good for me because I have a list of 600+ terms.

**Developer response:** Hello, Leviathan.22! Thank you for your review! Please, contact me on my instagram page or email - bonney977@gmail.com. Tell me more about the quizzes issue. About other things - just have posted an update - version 4.4.2 - you can now resize the window and I fixes the scroll bar as well. Quizzes issue should be fixed, assuming you got a bug when you completed a quiz with hard words settings and there is not enough hard words left, and you could not change the setting back - this issues specifically is addressed and you can now reset applied filters.

### 5/5 — Great app, here’s some suggestions

*2025-09-25*

I love the simplicity of this app. One thing to change is in definition quizzes, the other definitions should come from words of the same type as the word given, so you can’t just cheat by seeing which definition matches the type of word.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and helpful feedback, mkkay9! I am glad you love the app’s simplicity. I have implemented your suggestion about using definitions from the same word type in my latest update, which is currently awaiting review. Stay tuned for the improved version soon!

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2025-07-04, version 3.2.1*

I’m very pleased with this app. I can now key in words that I’m not familiar with and test myself with the quiz. So far everything in the app is working well and I’m enjoying it. It’s great that it syncs as well as I have it on another device.

### 5/5 — Just got it, already love it

*2025-04-06*

I beg beg beg and plead, add compatibility between users. My friends and I are looking for a shared dictionary app, where we can all have our own dictionaries, and then a large combined overlapping one, the market has NONE. Please 🙏 (our favorite app is TimeTree for combined calendars, we want something like this but for dictionaries)

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star review, lovoxide! I am delighted you love the app already. Great news— I’ve successfully implemented the shared dictionary feature you requested, allowing compatibility between users with individual dictionaries. Enjoy sharing words with your friends! And you can even share your quiz results for these words as well!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-03-30*

Thank you for creating this. I searched a lot to find this perfection. But unfortunately after the latest update the “get from the internet” has disappeared. Please bring it back.  

Update: it’s all good now. Actually even better in this format. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the suggestion. I guess that I should indeed bring it back. But the definitions should load automatically now, after you typed a word!

### 5/5 — Feature requests

*2025-03-28*

Would it be possible to lowercase the words whenever they are added to the list? Some of the definitions I have are proper nouns and that can cause a mixup. 

Would it be possible to include wikionary as a source for definitions? The very first word I looked up ‘aby’ says that it wasn’t found. However, it is on wikitionary. 

Another example includes “deputable”. It says these are not words

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review! I definitely have planned some new features, especially import/export from a file. I’m planning to do a separate settings screen where I would put the option to disable autocapitalization. And I’ll sure see what I can do about Wikitionary!
