I'm not sure about the intents of makers of this app, but it's more than providing a dictionary. It installs 1266 files in 530+ folders requiring 25 MiB (a famous English dictionary app is 7MiB, 38 folders, 313 files). This asks for 31 permissions, including camera and flashlight, for some reason. Another Devil's Dictionary app on Play is only 109 KiB with its 32 files in 30 folders, and requests only 7 permissions. Furthermore, this won't work unless I allow it's, imo, unnecessary permissions.
