Latest updates
1.5.0
iDictionary v1.5.0 Major Update
This release brings lookup, daily learning, and favorites into one smoother path. Open Home to meet a new character, then browse and manage what you save in the way that fits you.
1. Home learning is fully upgraded. Learning Tools, Explore Characters, words that contain today's character, and Quick Review of pinned favorites help you learn even in a spare moment.
2. Character of the Day can be swapped for another common character. This changes Home only. Widgets still follow the calendar day.
3. Favorites now support list, grid, and card layouts, with adjustable columns. Tap Edit to multi-select, then pin or unfavorite in batches.
4. Swipe left to pin and swipe right to delete. The empty state can start a random character. Long-press a search history item to favorite it.
5. Handwriting lookup is more reliable. Pause to see candidates, undo or clear if you miss a stroke. Neat writing with closed strokes is recognized more accurately.
6. Category browsing is refreshed. See a lexicon overview, page through words and idioms by pinyin initial, and switch among list, grid, and card layouts.
7. Characters, words, and idioms can become share cards you save to Photos or send to friends. Long-press a definition to copy, speak, or translate.
8. New accent colors and alternate app icons. Widgets can follow your theme, with clearer colors in Dark Mode.
9. Optional iCloud sync for favorites, history, and pins. Items merge by entry and will not overwrite your whole library.
10. Dictionary startup is more reliable, with a more comfortable large-screen and touch experience. In-app guides for usage, widgets, and Shortcuts are also more complete.
We welcome your feedback in the app. If you enjoy this update, a rating and review on the App Store will help more people who love Chinese characters find it.
