Pre-historic UI. English Wikipedia isn't available in the server. No option to use multiple dictionary at the same time. Few customization & very limited resource to use. But the flash popup of word meaning in FB reader is great.

It would be useful to turn to a word by tap instead of long tap within a word article. Also in relation to Alreader, recognizing ing-suffixes etc. would be the perfect feature.

Integrates nicely into AI Reader. Just select "Translate" in the pop-up menu when selecting a word.

The interface is clear and straightforward, word lookup is very fast, plus it is open source and ad-free. I only miss integration with fbreader, but I guess it is up to the fbreader's developer. Good luck and thank you for dictan!

I am using this dictionary from its appearance in Windows version and think that it is one of the best dictionaries available. Unfortunately in Android version there is a problem with the start from other applications. In particular, in the last version (3.4) I was not able to fix the option "Go to the word list if the exact match ...". At the next start the default value "Search for the closest match" was still in place. Version of Android is 4.03. Can you explain how to fix this problem?
