User Reviews

Users praise Build Own Dictionary for easily creating and managing a personal dictionary with fast, all-field search and CSV import, and it’s especially valued by conlangers. The main drawbacks are translation unreliability and a lack of cross-device sync/login, plus premium gating of features.

Pros

Easy-to-use tool to create and manage your own dictionary/vocabulary with fast, all-field search.
Especially useful for conlangs; conlanger-friendly features for language creation.
CSV import capability makes it quick to populate the dictionary.

Cons

Translation tools are unreliable and brittle, with issues related to spaces, apostrophes, capitalization, and multiword phrases.
No cross-device sync or login support (missing iCloud) to access dictionaries on multiple devices.
Some features appear gated behind Premium, limiting free use.

As a conlanger, this is awesome! I’m buying premium Right Now! This is so good for making conlangs and if you do not know what a conlang is it is a constricted language. You can also use it to study languages, might do that In the future, Bye!

The only thing this app lets you do without trying to make you pay for an app, that literally seems free in the App Store is create a dictionary title!!!! You cannot even create one entry without it wanting you to pay $3.99 for usage of the app! So, don’t waste your time…. Find a better app.

Words with apostrophes don’t seem to translate with the translate function. I’m not using the app for the translator function anyways, just thought you should know. The app is fantastic for dictionary purposes though.
