Features & Capabilities

Fora Dictionary is a versatile offline dictionary viewer that supports multiple dictionary formats (StarDict, DSL, XDXF, Dictd, TSV/Plain) and provides fast, typing-friendly search with tolerance for case, diacritics, and punctuation. It includes fuzzy search, full-text search (one-time upgrade per dictionary), and an in-page popup translator, along with history and word lists. Customization options let you tailor dictionaries, search behavior, and display.

Setting up dictionaries is straightforward: import the index file, attach optional ZIP resource files, edit properties, and create profiles to organize dictionaries. The app also supports DICT protocol servers and cross-device synchronization by exporting dictionaries to ZIP files or copying the .fora folder. It covers five search types (regular, extended, full-text, fuzzy, wildcard) to improve lookups. Android 10+ users may need to move the .fora folder during upgrades.

User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise Fora Dictionary for strong offline support, with the ability to import and manage many dictionaries from various formats and its solid integration with ebook readers. However, multiple reviews highlight recurring issues: a difficult, error-prone dictionary import process (especially with Android permissions and OS updates), a non-intuitive or dated UI, incomplete pronunciation audio across languages, and a desire for more dictionaries. Some users also cite premium pricing. Overall, a powerful offline tool with room for reliability improvements and better content coverage.

Pros

Excellent offline support with the ability to import and manage many dictionaries (StarDict and other formats).
Broad dictionary format compatibility and smooth integration with ebook readers for quick lookups across apps.
Generally regarded as one of the best offline dictionary apps on Android.
Includes a thesaurus and supports useful dictionary features.

Cons

Difficult and inconsistent dictionary import experience, with Android permissions, folder access, and OS-version issues (e.g., Android 10).
Non-intuitive UI and an old-looking design; usability issues while adding dictionaries.
Pronunciation audio is incomplete or inconsistent across languages (good for English, poor for others).
Limited dictionary coverage; users want more dictionaries and easier ways to obtain them.
Premium features are overpriced.

Recent reviews

Incredibly useful dictionary app. But the primitive UI should be improved.

Very good app. Ok UI is very special. And importing a own dictionary works only with uploading and giving the app the URL. But this is a limitation from Android. Perhaps a Dropbox support could help in future.
