User Reviews

Floating Dictionary is praised for its floating functionality, large word database, and compatibility across apps, greatly aiding multitasking on Android devices. Users appreciate its simplicity, no ads, and bookmark feature. However, common issues include the floating icon disappearing or not auto-starting, lack of important features like dark mode and pronunciation, and an outdated interface with no recent updates. Users request improved stability, UI enhancements, and added functionalities to better support the app's potential.

Pros

Convenient floating feature that allows dictionary use without switching apps, enhancing multitasking.
Large and rich word database, providing comprehensive word definitions.
Compatibility with any app on Android, not limited to a single application.
Simple, easy to use with a clean interface and no ads.
Bookmark feature allowing users to save words for study.
Consistent performance over several years across different devices.

Cons

Floating icon often disappears or stops working, requiring app reset or reopening.
App does not start automatically; requires manual launching and must remain in recent apps to float.
Lack of features such as dark mode, text-to-speech pronunciation, and thesaurus.
User interface and usability could be improved, including the option to move the floating widget on the screen.
Lack of updates and maintenance since last update in 2018, resulting in bugs and missing requested features.

This is a good app to replace the Google Play Books dictionary in Google Play Books because the Google Play Books dictionary that is downloaded for offline using within Google Play Books is taking internal storage. Where the Google Play Books dictionary comes up on screen, the Floating Dictionary can do that same thing and it seems to have a bigger data base of available words and information. Also, the Floating Dictionary app is compatible with any app in a computer instead of just one app.

Exceptional application. It is so good because of it's floating feature and provides so much utility. If you do multitasking in your phone this might be a good option which can save your time when something new comes up and you need to go to google to look it up.
