This is just a mobile interface for accessing the Sõnaveeb online dictionary. Requires internet connection obviously. Makes it easier to look up words on a phone, should be used instead of that tab in your mobile browser. Why is it better: * Less requests and caching, hence faster answers. * Easy to operate with one hand. * Words forms are right there. * Definitions translation on tap. * Search history. * Dark mode. * No tracking and no ads. The app is not authorized by EKI, it's an independent work.
