About

freeDictionaryApp is an open-source dictionary application for Android. It provides English-to-English lookups through the Free Dictionary API and can also use the Wiktionary API for searches from multiple languages into English. Its primary interaction is a search field where the user enters a word.

Results can include the word’s definition and an example of usage when that information is available. Where available, the app also presents synonyms and antonyms, along with pronunciation in IPA text and audio generated through text-to-speech. These functions make it suitable for reading and writing tasks that require checking meaning, usage, related words, or pronunciation.

Searched data can be saved for offline use, allowing previously retrieved information to remain useful without a new lookup. The app also includes a random-word search for users who want to explore a word without entering one directly. Wiktionary-based searches from multiple languages into English are case-sensitive, so the capitalization used in a query can affect the lookup.

As an Android application in the Reading & Writing category, freeDictionaryApp fits mobile vocabulary and reference use rather than a general-purpose writing editor. Its open-source license identifies the software as openly licensed, while its listed functions center on dictionary access and saved search data. MirrorNest distributes the official build directly from its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing.

Requires Android 7.0+
