Find a word. Understand it. Make it yours. Palabros is an English and Spanish dictionary for people who love reading, writing and discovering words. The app is available in both languages. Look up a meaning when you need it. Linger on its nuances when it sparks your curiosity. Save the words that matter to you and come back to them until they become part of your vocabulary. And if you're learning English or Spanish, save their translations too. Widgets bring your words and translations to your Home Screen. They show them again with spaced repetition, without setting time aside to study. UNDERSTAND A WORD Read the definition alongside a clear, simple explanation. Check synonyms and antonyms, hear how it's pronounced and explore its origin with interactive etymology. BILINGUAL MODE Explore translations from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English. Translations are grouped by meaning, next to the definitions that clarify their nuances. Save a word's translations and come back to them whenever you like. Find them in your widgets and review them to learn word by word. KEEP READING Some words make you stop in the middle of a page. With Reading Mode, say a word out loud and see its meaning without typing it or putting your book down. If you prefer, listen to the explanation. When you finish, choose which of the words you looked up you want to save. COME BACK TO YOUR WORDS A word you found in a novel. Another you'd like to use when you write. A term you want to remember for your studies. Keep them in your library, organize them with tags, filter your collection and import your own lists. REVIEW AT YOUR OWN PACE Review your words in four ways: pick the word, pick the definition and, with Palabros Pro, type the word or explain it in your own words. You can also review translations: choose every correct equivalent among several options or, with Palabros Pro, type the translation you remember. If you review your words now and then, Palabros identifies the ones you find hardest to remember. With smart priority turned on, widgets show them more often, mixed in with the rest. Palabros Pro review widgets hide definitions or translations. Take a moment to recall them before you reveal them. Statistics show your progress. DISCOVER SOMETHING EVERY DAY Word of the Day is an invitation to learn a new meaning. Some words come illustrated. See it in the app and in its widgets, including the extra-large portrait widget. Siri and Shortcuts actions let you look up, save and review words, or build your own shortcuts. A DICTIONARY THAT GOES WITH YOU The English and Spanish dictionaries are built into the app, so you can look up definitions offline. On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence generates explanations on device. Translations by meaning need a connection; other features may require downloaded resources. Palabros has no ads. Read, look up and review in peace. PALABROS PRO Palabros is free to download. Palabros Pro expands your library and your tools: unlimited saved words, unlimited Reading Mode sessions, all four word review modes, typed translation review, word and translation review widgets, tags and filters, list import, statistics, widget personalization, exclusive icons and future Palabros Pro improvements. Choose a monthly subscription, try the annual plan with seven days free if you're eligible, or get lifetime access. For the words you want to make yours.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Palabros holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Palabros has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Palabros's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hound Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Palabros ships an update every 5 days, Hound Hunt daily. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
