• Support for StarDict, XDXF, DSL, DICTD and Plain (TSV) dictionary formats
• Wikipedia (with suggestions and random)
• Wildcard search
• Fuzzy search
• DICT protocol
• Profiles (grouping)
• Reader mode
• History and navigation

• Clipboard activation
• Text-to-Speech/TTS
• Voice-search/dictation
• Customization
• Find in page
• Export
• Email/SMS
• Query API
• Tablet friendly
• Portable, all-in-SD configuration
Notes:
• Importing offline dictionaries is slow on phone, you can use desktop utility to convert your dictionaries on your computer.
• TTS functionality uses the standard Android TTS API and is well-tested. If you have problems with TTS, please ensure that your device's TTS is healthy. Most of the time, a fresh TTS-data installation and a reboot of phone fixes the problem.
• Storage directory switching (e.g. internal/external) works by first verifying (both before and after restart) that Fora has read & write access to the new directory. If this verification fails anytime, it defaults to "external storage" directory that's reported by the system.
• A few advanced features require a license code to unlock. You can purchase a license code from homepage using CC or PayPal.
• You can try out the Pro features by enabling banner ads temporarily.

[2013-02-03] A Google User: Love it Great new updates |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: now ads-only, *pro on website* Pro version available on web site, authors cannot sell from their country, but not sure why they do not make this clear. excellent dict, highly configurable, but no holo UI yet. |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Excellent, with two minor flaws I too hope we see a donation, no-ad version with a facelift. Also I really wish it was possible to have a way to query a specific dictionary or profile. I'm using different profiles for different languages and changing profiles/dictionaries by hand every time is a pain. Won't change above average rating, as the app is good, the old versions are still available and the dev is very responsive and straightforward. |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Get rid of ads! Was 4.5 star. Now 3 star. Happy to pay for ad-free version |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Bad Ads are lame |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Great dictionary But would be better without ads or with a premium version! |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Added ads Its not fair....! |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: ad-free version is absent |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: Hows the new update, don't want to update it's crap?? Looks like the new update sucks as per other comments... |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: THX for older version OMG last update - ads and a new icon :) i stay with 12.0 version |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Best offline English dictionary If they would have provided a widget to directly look for a word's meaning I would have rated it 5. Though it is awesome dictionary |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Not updating. It's the best offline dictionary out there. It's better than a lot of those I've used. Thank you. Very helpful. I'm not updating ever. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: No update, No ADS! Lol Amazing but I wish that this app can be integrated also with ezPDF Reader Annotate Form. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: No ads middevelopment Autoupdate disabled, previous version restored |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Used to be the best FREE dictionary So disappoint that it become an ADware app. I will not update from now on. Still wants to thank you for the previous version. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Pro version is on the web site Pro version is available as a separate purchase on the developer's web site. It costs about 3€. The developer should have been more clear about that. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Its good This update enabled pro features and ads. I would have preferred ad free over this. Still it would be harsh to deduct any stars for this reason. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Samsung GSII It's no way to keep using this dict with ads added. If you want to raise money with your app, change its GUI which is slightly outdated, then make pro version. Good luck. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Great app, but ads? Thank you for your honesty. This is my favorite dictionary/reference app. I would pay for it, but I won't use it with ads in it. Please reconsider. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: New update I have no trouble with the ads, and the new icon is a step in the right direction, but without an ics style interface, updating the app isn't worth it. Colordict is much nicer and is ad supported as well. There is no reason to choose this app now. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Hopefully there will be a paid version. ADs are really annoying, I had to reverted to an older version from back up :( Please release a paid version. Some update could be attractive: move input to bottom to be easy to use on 4.6+ screen; use tabs for different dictionary, swipe to view; click on words to search. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Excelent dictionary, but I think, I won't update software. Ads in software is a bad way to use it. Make a pro version with modern android 4 design and sell it. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Annoying Advertasing is annoying. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Amazing! I am extremely grateful for this application. Thank you so much! (Update: I am sorry that you felt the need to ruin this with ads, I loaded it on to my e-reader and now I can't use it anymore because I don't keep the wifi turned on. I had no choice but to remove a star.) |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Adding ads Countervails the benefits as there are other apps, e.g., WordNet, which are as good— and have a better GUI. No update for me, thank you. After all, there ad blockers… |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Used to be excellent before adding adds Anyway, I guess the adds are just a means of earning some money. Nonetheless, adds can be removed if one buys a key. |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: Not good So I can't even get a meaning for cup |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: Best For reader This dict is best for integration with many book readers...have a good definition data |
|
[2013-01-24] A Google User: Awesome One of the best Dictionary Thanks guyz |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Doesn't work Doesn't work |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: one app i cant uninstall excellent ...just add a feature of copying within the word's meaning..manual picking is hectic...very hectic |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: I like it |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Great Dicoonary I love this one... |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Works good Works good, simple style, easy. Can benefit from a better pronunciation font, can't understand this silly style. Better if supported bgl glossaries. |
|
[2012-12-22] A Google User: Have I ever told you how much I love you, guys You have really made a difference with this application. Fora helps me so much and it's getting better... |
|
[2012-12-22] A Google User: Free and awsome just improve your database and introduce tablet UI and you are the best. |
|
[2012-12-22] A Google User: All round good utility Used by me mainly in Fbreader, being offline is especially useful. 5 stars when the UI gets a slick look |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: GalaxyMini All d best |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: It's best It can be integrated with moon reader and also it provides almost all meanings of the word which other dictionary lacks ..other than this merrium Webster is also f9 |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Its Offline, Its Complete and No Ads! Its a wholesome must have app on every phone. 5 star is because its Offline, Its Complete and No Ads! Also option to add ad-ons like world factbook is wonderful. Some recommendations for improvements though... 1) Improve on the UI. A simple lightweight google type UI would be one option. 2) Introduce a simple widget for quick lookup and word of the days. |
|
[2012-12-05] A Google User: Best Useful application |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Helpful |
|

|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: Gr8 The only free dictionary with lots of languages support & offline pronunciation. But meanings & word usage eg are limited. Needs to improve on tat. |
|

|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Wicked to touch screen not to turned off PLEASE MAKE IT KEEP PHONE SCREEN AWAKE! |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: UI needs work. Good ad-free dictionary app; probably the one I'll stick with, but the UI needs work -- simpler would be better, settings should use a standard preference page, etc. Icon is ugly. |
