Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic application!
I’ve been using Dicty for more than 5 years before writing this review. For me this is definitely the best stardict application.
It is reliable and quick when loading several large dictionaries at the same time.
It is elegant and easy to use. The UI is clear, typesetting comprehensive and customisable.
It is free and free of advertisements.
Powerful and elegant. A wonderful app.
Excellent
Excellent app, very useful.
Just one Complaint: The 4 little icons at the bottom left don’t fit on my iPad mini because of the words next to them. The words don’t really need to be there, so it would be nice if these were just icons so that they fit.
Some sorts of issues
At first glance, the app looks great, esp. in the working speed, behind the fact of no ads etc. comprised that counts a lot. However, I found significant imperfections:
- in my case a half of dictionaries were able to be imported, though they all are stardict
- almost each dict article is cut off when displayed. That looks as a markdown serious bug revealing in different places of the complex text.
- No suitable contacts to communicate this to a support/ developer. The specified Twitter account may rest to the Twitter fans when no options provided :-/
