EDIT: Disappointed that full screen ads have been added to the app at all. Especially when they block & interfere with whatever app I'm using. Freezes my phone every time. --- Everything I've been looking for!! I love the option to add Google Search results as a dictionary. Ads are unobtrusive, every lookup has been fast even on my glitchy phone, ability to add notes for context is unique and incredibly helpful. I also love the option for haptic feedback when a definition pops up. Just PERFECT!!

Hi! I would love to remove ads altogether, as I hate them too. But sadly even with these ads, I don't even get 10$ a month. I understand your frustration, ads are infuriating but this is how I try to get some worth of hours of my time put into it. Please contact me @ dev.gaurav94@gmail.com, so that I can improve the current monetization model.

Does what I want over the stock Android dictionary app, specifically look ups within look ups. The overlay on the center of the screen is obtrusive though, I'd prefer if it popped up on the lower half of my screen without a dark overlay over the rest of it. Being able to quickly look up a word and immediately re-read it in context is nice. Edit: Reachability setting doesn't change that the box covers up text underneath it. Imo, the box would take up 35% of the screen without obscuring any text.

Seems like a great app. Unfortunately, though, it isn't compatible with Android 10 or up; which you don't find out until after installing it and then you get a pop-up. I really wish it was stated in the description. Waste of time. UPDATE 01/27/21: In response to Dev's comment. It does work in Android 11 by selecting/highlighting a word. But it doesn't seem to work universally in all apps.
