dictionary-ut's Introduction

Dictionary

A beautiful Ubuntu Touch app to quickly lookup a word on Wikitionary.

Features:

Minimalist, slick design: A modern convergent design, focused on readability and simplicity.
Forever free: The entire app is free and open-source, forever.
Native UI: This isn't a crappy web app! It means you get a fast, reliable, and consistent experience.
Powered by Wiktionary: Always up-to-date, crowdsourced, privacy-respecting, and comprehensive.

Note: Due to Wikitionary's define API being currently only implemented in the English version, all the definitions are in English. However, every Wiktionary aims to define every word of every language, so you will get multilingual definitions, just in English.
