Any article can now become a Reader document. Choose "Web page" when you create a new document and enter a URL, or share a page straight from Safari to KTdict. KTdict pulls out the article text — not the menus and ads around it — so you can tap any word for its dictionary entry, hear it read aloud, or turn it into a flashcard. "Original page" in the toolbar takes you back to the source whenever you want it.
Sharing to KTdict now works on the Mac as well, and on both Mac and iPhone the app opens right away instead of asking you to confirm.

KTdict Chinese Dictionary downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
62/100
faster than 70% of Reference apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
