Wiktionary Reader

When it comes to defining words, it’s hard to beat this. It’s just like using the Wiktionary website from 15 years ago. Love the etymology references. But the interface needs to be updated and designed to fit mobile devices of varying sizes. I would be willing to pay for that.

I always wondered why there wasn't a Wiktionary client available on the App Store (Especially since the lack of a dictionary app is one of the stranger things about iOS). Finally, someone has made one. Not fancy but it does what it’s supposed do. Keep up the good work, and thank you!

This simple Wiktionary client does the trick efficiently, though the banner ads at the bottom of the app are a little annoying. I’d consider adding a low-priced (1 USD or thereabouts) option to remove the ads.

The app doesn’t auto suggest words as I type in letters the way it does in the wiktionary web pages in Safari. So if you don’t know what the exact spelling is for a word, you’re out of luck. And that’s what I usually use wiktionary for - not definitions but spelling. Will check for updates to see if this feature is added. But until then, I won’t be using this app.

What more can I say? This has replaced all past dictionaries. This has help me not only in writing, not only in reading, but in a deeper understanding of words.
