This app is currently buggy, but shows promise. After adding a number of dictionaries and dictionary groups, I found I couldn't select any other group than All as the default. That's unfortunate. Also, long-pressing a dictionary to deactivate it, I found that this dictionary was still used when calling upon Text Aide to define a word. Finally, there seems to be no way to remove a dictionary once it has been added. If these problems are fixed, Dict Aide's usability will increase considerably.

First of all developer is so damn fast in responding to queries or to clear doubts. Along with text aid, I can use this app anywhere and anytime. Adding dictionaries is also very easy. Good work. Can u make support for donation?

(1.) It's work only with folder contain *.dict.dz, *.idx, and *. ifo. But fail when I add *.dict, *.idx and *.ifo. Fail means = it show on search but when I clicked theres no preview and only index the half of whole dictionary. Only letter A until G. (2.) Please fix Hu Zheng's Stardict link on the "About" menu. Respect him. Thank You. I like it.

In conjuction with Text Aide, opens the door to a new unmatched experience not felt with similar apps. Would be better still, if one could see the meanings by quickly jumping to different words in the initial list. (same style as dict.cc)

As an avid reader, one of my most used apps, along with Text Aide. Would love to see a fuzzy search option implemented. When I select a word like "searching", no results turn up and i have to type in "search" to see the definitions. This works in a similar way to PC's Golden Dict. It has something called language morphology that helps with searching words modified from the root in some way. Hope this helps.

Can you help Livio get their dict install to offer option to place off-line content on Ext SD Card on at least one recent Android version, or barring that, help them get ready for Nougat and later? You seem to have the talents required! thanks
