About Cebuano-English Dictionary
This Cebuano-English Dictionary app contains the full text of "A Dictionary of Cebuano Visayan", edited by John U Wolff and first published in 1972. This dictionary is still one of the best dictionaries made for Cebuano.
Cebuano, also known as Visayan, Bisayan, or locally as Binisaya, is spoken in the provinces of Cebu, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, Bohol, and Leyte, in the Visayas region in the Central Philippines, as well as on the island of Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. Cebuano is related to, but distinguished from Hiligaynon (or Ilonggo) and Waray-Waray, languages which are also sometimes called "Visayan".
The content of this dictionary is based on original research between 1966 and 1972, in which the editor and his team collected samples of actual written and spoken Cebuano to use in this dictionary. Besides providing English definitions, it provides sample sentences for many words, all taken from daily usage.
When using this dictionary, please note that the spelling of words used is different from the normal orthography. In line with the editor's focus on the language as spoken, the dictionary uses a phonetic transcription that uses only three vowels, "a", "i", and "u". The "o" and "i" are not used. The search interface has been adjusted, such that words spelled in the normal way will still be found, for example, if you search for "unom", six, the dictionary will return unum.
The app provides a fast searchable interface, structured formatting of entries, and allows reverse look-ups to a limited extend.

This app can only search and translate pure Cebuano to English. Therefore you have to know the exact words in Cebuano to use it at all. Anyone who knows any Cebuano also knows that there are often different ways of spelling words. This app is useless for English to Cebuano

It might be useful to Cebuano/Binisaya speakers wanting to improve their English - but totally useless for people who speak English and are wanting to learn Cebuano/Binasaya.

I wish you also make an english cebuano dictionary which comes with all the english words and their cebuano translations with example also. I really like the app cause every word i search is there. The only but is that it has no reverse searching. But anyways it is the best dictionary app ive seen

Hello! I love using this app, it's so helpful but if I could wouldn't it be nice to have the option of letting the app give like a "word of the day" kind of function that would allow users like me to see some unknown words to build up on their Cebuano vocabulary but other than that, it's an amazing app thank you!
