What's New in Wiktionary Reader

6.4

October 16, 2024

iOS 18 is supported. I fixed Bugs.

User reviews

elegant

it has a solid interface. it does exactly what it says and nothing more. you type a word, matches are listed, you are fetched a definition. beautiful.

Extremely slow

Love this app but it loads new pages on extremely slowly. If that gets fixed the app will be perfect.

Incomplet

Cette application part d’un bonne intention mais est peu utile au vu de son manque d’ergonomie et surtout l’impossibilité de la consultation hors-ligne. Dans ce cas là, autant chercher directement sur le web, c’est plus rapide et plus simple.

Suggestions

Excellent resource. 2 requests: 1) the app is slowing down on iOS 26, can something be done about that ? 2) when swiping back and forwards, is it possible to go to the previously searched word rather than the search page? Thanks.

It’s useful but

I enjoy using this app, I always want to learn more about languages but I keep running into this issue where I go to type something in and it just slows to a halt. Each letter typed takes like 3 seconds to go through, and if I try to type faster than that it messes the whole thing.

I’m using an IPhone 11 on IOS 26.0.

Please fix
