Features & Capabilities

The Tibetan Dictionary combines several dictionaries into a single app. Words and definitions can be searched for in both english and tibetan, taking advantage of the Tibetan language support built-in to iOS.

It is a universal app and is optimised for both iPhone and iPad.

The following dictionaries are included:

  • tsig mdzod chen mo
  • dag yig gsar bsgrigs
  • New Tibetan-English-Chinese Vocabulary
  • New English-Tibetan Dictionary
  • Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary
  • Mahāvyutpatti

To type using tibetan script, you need to turn on the tibetan keyboard in the main Settings app: Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Add New Keyboard...

You can then select the Tibetan keyboard by tapping the 'world' icon on the keyboard, next to the spacebar.

User Reviews

Users widely praise Tibetan Dictionary as a very useful, extensive, and easy-to-use reference with good search capabilities (English and Tibetan input) and translations. However, recurring criticisms focus on stability problems: crashes after iOS updates and occasional search failures or freezes that require restarting the app. Some wish for broader word coverage and additional pronunciation features, but the core app remains appreciated for its usefulness and breadth of vocabulary.

  • Extensive vocabulary coverage.
  • Easy to use and user-friendly.

  • Provides translations and explanations (English, and sometimes Chinese).
Cons
  • Stability issues: frequent crashes after iOS updates and general instability.
  • Unreliable search results or the app freezing during use, requiring a restart.
