I’d prefer a link. ### 2/5 — Extremely slow *2026-01-13* Love this app but it loads new pages on extremely slowly. If that gets fixed the app will be perfect. ### 2/5 — Incomplet *2025-11-17, version 6.4* 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. ### 3/5 — It lags when I type to search. *2025-09-29* It lags when I type to search. ### 2/5 — It’s useful but *2025-09-26* 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 ### 2/5 — Why?! *2025-02-02, version 6.4* Hey thicky-wickies, do you know how stupid you have to be to have autocorrect on in a search bar for a dictionary (let alone one you can use for multiple languages)? If you don’t, check out the mirror -there’s your answer. ### 2/5 — Formidable Mais mode hors ligne ? *2024-08-03, version 6.3* Formidable, vraiment, une application indispensable Mais ne pourrais t on pas télécharger mes dictionnaires pour les avoir disponibles hors lignes ?? ### 3/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2023-11-30, version 5.26* Impossible d’effectuer une recherche: l’application se ferme une fois la recherche lancée. Très certainement une mise à jours pour iOS 17 est nécessaire !! Update the App please & thanks for your work ### 4/5 — Tolle App mit nur einem Defizit *2023-07-04, version 5.26* Der dunkelmodus greift nicht, sobald ein nach geschlagenes Wort geöffnet wird. Das leider schon seit Jahren. Es wäre toll, wenn dies mit dem kommenden Update behoben wird. ### 4/5 — Fonction importante manquante / Lacking crucial feature *2022-10-10, version 5.26* Il n’y a pas d’historique des pages visités (via les hyperliens des articles) car l’historique est limitée aux mots recherchés. Merci de combler ce manque. There’s no history of visited pages because the current history feature is restricted to the searched words. Please fix the issue, thanks in advance. ### 3/5 — Audio does not work *2022-10-05* For etymology, finding cognates, definitions in multiple languages, conjugation, etc. very useful. However, none of the audio files have ever functioned in the app. ### 2/5 — It’s okay, but… *2021-11-28* It does what it says on the tin. However, long Wiktionary pages (words common to many languages like ‘a’ or ‘o’) fail to load the whole page. It leaves you with “error” messages telling you that there is not enough memory. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No integration *2024-12-02, version 6.4* Doesn’t offer anything more than the Wiktionary website. No share sheet integration, no offline access unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Lost Bookmarks *2024-07-11* This app is usually great but after the recent update I’ve lost all my bookmarks! I’ve been keeping them for years! This would also be a great use case for being able to export them. Even a CSV file would be better than losing them all :( ### 1/5 — Probleme *2023-12-27, version 5.26* Wiktionary hat früher einwandfrei funktioniert. Vermutlich nach einem Update passiert folgendes: ich öffne Wiktionary, gebe das Suchwort ein, Sprache und dann Enter. Wiktionary schließt sofort. Gruß Uli Berthold ### 1/5 — crashes *2023-10-29, version 5.26* can’t even look up a single word ### 1/5 — Crashes upon search every time *2023-07-07, version 5.26* Crashes upon search every time ### 1/5 — Pas compatible iOS 16 *2022-11-10, version 5.26* A quand la version ios16 ? ### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all *2022-10-06* I downloaded and opened the app on iPhone 12. I typed in “Germanic” in the search field. The app crashed. I tried again. It crashed again. I deleted the app. I wrote this review. Done. ### 1/5 — Only crash, no define *2022-09-05, version 5.25* Does not do anything useful. iOS 15 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-09-15* Crashes every time I type a word and hit the search button ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work! *2021-03-22, version 5.25* As soon as I a word the app crushes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — elegant *2026-01-30* 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. ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2025-10-31, version 6.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says. Easy to use / no tech problems. Ideal privacy policy. *2025-05-30* For users looking for a dictionary app, this is a little different from some household names, because it simply returns what is on the Wiktionary website to the user query. Wiktionary is a constant work in progress, like Wikipedia. Often, the definitions are unhelpful - for example, resplendence (noun) is defined as being resplendent. But that has nothing to do with the app. It does what it says, I use this on an iPhone 11, iOS 17.7.2, and it’s never crashed or caused headaches. The interface is super-simple, and I appreciate there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles that detract from the core purpose and create noise. There are Bookmarks and History features that could be useful to students, but I don’t use those for day-to-day dictionary lookups. If you don’t mind Wiktionary’s drawbacks, this is a perfectly good app to do quick lookups. Worth calling out the developer’s privacy policy is much appreciated. ### 5/5 — Best Language App *2025-04-12, version 6.4* The only thing I'd like, to make it better, would be a way to choose and list only the languages I want in the Language menu! ### 5/5 — Simple and relieving *2024-11-26, version 6.4* This is a great, clean app. No ads or sherparding. The best source for etymology and definitions I've found, other specialized apps compromise information and integrity to push you to the paid version. Hasn't crashed for me yet and really glad to have this tool :) ### 5/5 — AMAZING app *2024-08-04* I love it to death. It is the thing I most frequent when i’m searching for definitions or even translations of those definitions. The only complaint I have is that the app crashes INSTANTLY whenever I attempt to access my bookmarks. Don’t know if others have had this problem. Other than that it’s fantastic :). ### 5/5 — great app *2024-08-02, version 6.3* really helps, thanks. It'd be cool, if you can click a word, then the "share" button, there's be the app on the list and the word is automatically put in the search bar. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-08-11, version 5.26* When I go to search a word, the keyboard has the Shift button pressed already. Please disable that because most words I search for are lowercase and capitalization matters in the search box so I have to un-press Shoft before I can start searching every time. Also, please update the search results on each keypress, don't make me press "return" just to see a list of a few words... ### 5/5 — Était très bien… *2023-06-03, version 5.26* Je l’utilisais quotidiennement, mais depuis mon passage sous iPhone 13 / iOS 16, impossible de s’en servir : crash dès que je lance une recherche. Réinstallation, redémarrage, rien n’y fait. Quel dommage ! ### 5/5 — 📖✍🏻 *2022-12-21, version 5.26* superbe ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
