WiktionaryReader crashes time I open it. It was a good app for grammar until it stopped opening.
Crashes every time I type a word and hit the search button
Didn't know what happened, the search engine wouldn't work, got nothing, and it broke down
If you’re actively learning a language, you’ll find that WiktionaryReader is lackluster. Between needing to load for 10+ seconds for each term, and the continual presence of an adbar, I would rather use my internet browser.
WiktionaryReader 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 WiktionaryReader.
This simple Wiktionary client does the trick efficiently, though the banner ads at the bottom of WiktionaryReader are a little annoying. I’d consider adding a low-priced (1 USD or thereabouts) option to remove the ads.
they’re distracting. would happily pay the premium. app is great, I use it for Chinese etymology.
I always wondered why there wasn't a Wiktionary client available on WiktionaryReader 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!
I never review apps, but I'm so happy somebody made an app for this! Perfect for etymology rabbit holes.
One nit: would be great if swiping right took me to the previous page instead of to the top-level search bar.
Because of aforementioned rabbit holes, I go "back" a lot, and it's annoying that swiping right not only doesn't have the expected (imo at least) behavior, but also makes me lose my history (to go back to previous page you have to press the little back button at top of screen).
Relatedly, would be cool if swiping left took you forward in history!
Otherwise love it; it's simple but exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Thank-you Kazuyuki Tajima, I use WiktionaryReader daily. Very helpful and very well made!
good for translations, IPA transcriptions, example sentences, and other data useful to language learners. good app
