Love it                     Perfect Azwar Mzafar

This app works well and I like it But when will be the Split View available I bought this app for that function but more than a year there s not an update This app is abandoned                 Split View

This app is pretty good but it needs to support sharing extensions The app Dicty for example allows me to share definitions via message email etc Also I wish results would come up in Spotlight searches as they do in other apps like Terminology                 Good squalamack

Great dictionary best ive used                     Great Deezeezy

It s a wonderful dictionary with a smart search which really works I m waiting impatiently to have it on the SlideOver panel of my iPad to fulfill my happiness with it and give it 5 stars                 Wonderful Dictionary Ahmad Manouchehri

Thanks for continuing developing this app Always support you                     Flawless FixChocolate

The app is amazing This is my favorite dictionary app and it is truly one of the best out there I swear by it Lingvo To developer please add an option to enable navigation menu when viewing translation of a word I am really sad it was replaced with gestures please make a quick profile switch button so I don t have to navigate to Settings to switch to a different profile language Perhaps similar to layout switch on the keyboard Some special gesture add a built in guide to explain available gestures please add an option to create a profile based on the input folder with dictionaries So I can upload a folder en ru that has all of those dictionaries and have an option to easily make that a profile It is a real pain to scroll through a ton of dictionaries to select the ones I want for that profile                     Amazing app Asdf73827

This is great software The developer is also very approachable and eager to help out The program works just as described It is also a very well done iOS application all the normal bells and whistles no gimmicks It is also fast I have loaded about 10 databases with a total of 1 000 000 entries and search is very fast Well done well worth the purchase                     Superb Quality and Fast K0000001

What a great app Fast stable But this is not exactly a dictionary it is rather a shell that can be used with dictionaries you have And believe me it is the best shell available in the market not only iOS                     Great app Andy Koval

Dictionary Universal is the perfect application to read stardict and lingvo dsl format dictionaries it supports viewing sounds and pictures if available in dictionary resources I installed 40 dictionaries and after indexing it takes few minutes it can load them within milliseconds and search them instantly definitely worth the money                     The BEST dictionary reader in IOS eveeeeer Ammmorou

This is superb I can now have the entire Webster s 1913 on my iOS instead of just the denuded basic iOS dictionary or the many other dictionary imposters that have stripped the language bare Recommend for writers and anyone who is interested in more in depth word definitions                     What I Needed Tao-ish

Please make it have URL Scheme for searching word             Nice app except for not having the URL Schemes Deepgilder

Works much faster than WeDictPro To all people having trouble installing dictionaties there are lots of xdxf dicts available and a converter to stardict format The macos app is called DictBuilder AWESOME Update I ve got 4 dictionaries there so Thank you Danke                     Very fast Jim-ph

But please add a support for iPhone 6pl                     Awesome Njordy

Dictionary Universal is a fantastic app for browsing dictionaries because of its streamlined clean interface and because of its amazingly blazingly fast speed Even more importantly the customer service I received was absolutely outstanding I was trying to install a rather large dictionary something called the OED whatever that is wink but the format I had was incompatible and needed a few extra files to make it work properly The developer worked with me for several days until the issue was resolved When you PAY money for an app and by the way the cost of this app is extremely low considering all it does you hope to get your money s worth In my case I got my money s worth and many times that in return for the 6 bucks I spent I cannot recommend Dictionary Universal highly enough Please support the developer and purchase this outstandingly written app I know I know My review sounds like a paid commercial but I sincerely am nothing more than an extremely satisfied customer slash dictionary junkie awesome adj Pronunciation s m Forms Also 15 18 awsome 16 awsom Etymology awe n 1 some suffix2 1 Full of awe profoundly reverential 2 Inspiring awe appalling dreadful weird 3 a In weakened sense overwhelming staggering remarkable prodigious colloq orig and chiefly U S b In trivial use as an enthusiastic term of commendation marvellous great stunning mind boggling slang In sense 3b colloq orig U S Expressing enthusiastic approval great excellent highly impressive fantastic                     Dictionary AWESOME Loomie239

This is a great app It would be even better if it supported bgl dictionary formats                 Please add bgl support Bsol999

This app is well thought out and powerful but don t be intimidated if you don t know the first thing about StarDict formatted dictionaries The developer is very helpful and responses and answers questions even trifling ones quickly Highly recommended and worth the price                     Terrific App dave-dave-dave

                Marsianin

It looks awesome works great the reported bugs have been fixed This is probably the best app that properly supports stardict format to its fullest extent highly recommended Very convenient to use from reader apps that support external dictionaries E g Marvin                     Excellent update for iOS7 VVSiz

Previously I owned dozens of expensive dictionary apps but now I can have any number of dictionaries in one sweet little app Plus load times are blazing fast something that any dictionary user will no doubt find appealing This is by far my most used app and it s likely to keep that position indefinitely The developer recently rolled out an update that included as we have all been hoping for iOS 7 support along with a sleek redesign that fits in perfectly with the latest iteration of Apple s mobile operating system Thank you so much To be honest this review marks a new stage in my relationship with the app a stage not unlike unconditional love At the end of the day the five star rating is well deserved and the app stands unrivaled in the crowd of its mediocre counterparts If I were to make a further suggestion for the benefit of my favorite app I would recommend introducing a wider variety of thin modern looking fonts into the current font selection Maybe add Helvetica Neue Thin alongside the regular Helvetica Neue for starters                     iOS 7 Redesign Thank You So Much Erin Romanoff

The best available for stardict so far The synonyms feature is very useful though often makes for long definitions Perhaps some sorting based on how close to the beginning of a definition a synonym occurs could be added that would help tremendously An increase in scrolling speed would also help                 Decent mhir

I have many and tried many all have good and not so good points This one is my preffered for sure The main point I like is the ability to have a banner or pop up with the explanation I simply copy the word in iBooks or other app and the magic happens Of course many other dictionaries offer the possibility to read the content of the clipboard but form my experience only this will serve you banners Good work keep going                     Excellent app for custom dictionaries nuad-user

Fastest dictionary I own The list of Favorite words is instrumental if you are learning a language I also love how the same word can be looked up in all dictionaries and all languages very helpful Great job                     Fast Alec Kanechny

Great                     This app Jimbonew

Awesome app                     fast update 꼼꼼한당신은

Who are the geniuses behind the negative reviews Competing developers TO THE DEVELOPER The iPad version makes this my most used iPad app This program continues to set the standard in dictionary apps of this kind You are the epitome of a genuinely caring software maker With the current implementation of multitasking support on iOS 6 so that the dictionaries load only once after a device reboot AND supporting fast search upon launching the app AND being able to paste a copy of a word looked up say in Safari iBooks or Reeder or any other place one might be reading a text that contains a word that needs to be looked up this already amazingly thought out app becomes even more intuitive like Apple itself It is safe to say at this point that Dictionary Universal is the essence of the best an iOS app can be OLDER REVIEWS You have listened to the user requests for which I thank you Now I can safely uninstall all other dictionary software on my iDevices Recently after the newest update I have moved Dictionary Universal from the fifth page of the app screens to the 4 app dock where it now resides and has become THE go to dictionary app trumping all others Again a sincere thank you UPDATE SOME DAYS LATER I put the app through its paces and have nothing but delight All of my 25 dictionaries load super fast Fuzzy search is outstanding On purpose I tried to misspell several words and the dictionaries knew which words I actually meant I like that the bookmarking feature saves the definition from the dictionary that it was looked up in a simple but an innovative idea I can tell you how this can be useful Yes I have 25 dictionaries but for certain words one dictionary may present a better or more easily digestible definition than another dictionary so being able to bookmark THAT particular definition is not only CONVENIENT but is a time saver Whenever I open up my Favorites to study and review my bookmarks I am presented with the definition that I actually liked the best The app is pretty much 99 perfect It s a very no nonsense library app that can store a good number of dictionaries easily downloadable from the web My only suggestions from now on would be additional polish The icon can be improved especially for the new Retina displays Also I am elated that one can easily switch dictionaries now by swiping right or left much easier than clicking the arrow keys and way more intuitive I am also grateful that this app s developer is constantly thinking how to improve it and he welcomes user feedback I am foreseeing that I will be using this program for a very long time as I see nothing even remotely close to a perfect pocket electronic dictionary as this one and I go back to Palm Pilot days of the mid 90s If you are a skeptic then I invite you to read my other reviews and see for yourself that I am usually not this enthusiastic about an application I have bought many a dictionary through iTunes but now Dictionary Universal is all I use As far as multitasking I believe it is on the way via an upcoming update This is a unique app in that it resumes with the word search and the open keyboard so that one can start inputting a word from the moment the app is launched Some people may prefer to come back to the app from another application and see the last entry they looked at when they left DU last time I believe the developer will try to accommodate both types of users Again congratulations on filling the gap felt by those of us who think we should be able to use several dictionaries TOGETHER for a truly synergistic linguistic experience What a delight it is to see a word defined by as many as 25 put your number here dictionaries and finding the definition that you prefer and think is best for you to remember Thank you thank you thank you Dictionary Universal is now my favorite my most useful my most treasured app of all I mean it seriously I have lots of reviews in the App store now but I have reserved such praise only for this app Please accept my sincere thank you                     My FAVORITE App Of All Nujazz Connoisseur

I admire the genius behind this app Truly innovative Highly recommended to people who are engaged in language learning teaching I like me iDevices more than before just because of apps like this Don t ever hesitate folks to purchase this masterpiece                     Impressive Kordestan

Support for iPad and iPhone landscape orientation with its great speed makes this app the best stardict dictionary I ve used in the app store Dictionary Universal surely surpasses all its rivals Wedict Pro Idioma Lingvo Gurudic The only con I found is that the first import of dictionaries can take a fairly long time However this import only happens once and from then on the app is the quickest If you need a dictionary this app is for you                 Best stardict dictionary in the app store mjeshurun

Make FTP to store Dic so that we don t need to look for it                     Good Natsuki_laiy

This is an amazing up the best out of all installed on my ipod touch 4g But the native version for iPad is needed desperately Thank you                     Please add full support for iPad dinvlad

This is definitely the best dictionary application You can easily use as many dictionaries as you want Performance after indexing is exceptional                     Great dictionary SergeyUser

Great software StarDict dictionaries RuleZ                     dictionary for me berkbear

I finally got an iPhone and needed a dictionary app which could work with StarDict dictionaries After googling for quite a while my choice narrowed to two apps Dictionary Universal and WeDict They cost the same but some WeDict reviewers said that it was not so fast plus some ppl were saying that by default its database contains chinese dictionaries which you cannot delete exclude from search and I don t need them Anyways I went with this one and man it s fast I love it Settings are flexible enough and give you most of you could ask So I highly recommend it                     Works blazingly fast Dr. VVZ

Long for the multitasking support better swipe feature and favorite export                     Best dict app ever compatible to stardict simpzan

HiRes iPhone 4 wedict iOS 4 please usb iTunes 9 2                 r00t_apple

5 star app if it supported iOS4 multitasking                 Great Fantomas2

It would be perfect if it supports iOS4 multi tasking                 I love it but Appleforce

This app is so much better than WeDict Pro Thanks                     Impressive usability and performance Igor D

2fingers gesture work great fullscreen mode is very useful no bugs nor unclear functions unlikely guruDic Most of all this guy listens to users and read reviews to fix or improve it 100 recommend                     PERFECT pangjun

Although I could definately benefit from a bookmark and or history function These added and a smart way to organize selected words would make it a six star app Please include any one of these in further updates             Great app GasinMilk

The only thing i want you to include in the next version is keeping the history of the words that the user looked up                     Just great Cbp272

Good dictionary But when I startup the app it shows evaluation period expire It is really Boring What s the matter Fix this please                     What s this samuel、
