Description
The fastest and most multi-format dictionary app on the market. Fully supports Lingvo, Babylon, StarDict, Lingoes and Dictd dictionary files. Articles shown with full formatting, colors, images and sounds. Lookups are blazing fast. You can now carry all the dictionaries you want together with you on your Android device!
Note: the app is a shell and comes with no dictionaries, much like a music player does not come with music. You use the files you already have, or the ones you can get on the internet.
This is the paid version, with no ads and unlimited dictionaries. There's also a free version available - try it out first before purchasing this one.
Just copy those files on your SD card, in the GoldenDict directory!
Features:
* All content is shown in full formatting, with images and sounds. We don't compromise on quality. * It's fast. It flies when you have a dozen of dictionaries, and can handle hundreds of dictionaries simultaneously fairly well, too. * The program will understand your typing no matter how you do it - forget about diacritics, case or punctuation! * In-program popup mode is supported. Configure your e-book reader to use "ColorDict 3" as your dictionary interface, and GoldenDict will pop up. * Translating from clipboard is easy - just press and hold "Search" button on your device!
Permissions:
* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - to create index files for your dictionaries * WAKE_LOCK - to ensure you phone doesn't sleep while indexing is in progress (it's a one-time operation) * READ_PHONE_STATE - for license check.
This is a full, paid version. It has no ads and can support an unlimited amount of dictionaries! If you need to test-drive the program, either try the free version first, or just purchase this paid version now and then ask for a refund within two weeks (see below).

★★★★★
To be fixed: Crashes on loading too much data at one time, like over 75 MB. Scans for dictionaries not just in the Golden Dict folder but ALL folders connected with device (the setting doesn't work). No erroroneous-file detection. No redundant or similar-version-file detection. No button or ability to easily go back/forward in word search after app is suspended. No word-chain function. To avoid crashes I had to USB-connect and copy over little by little. Otherwise, I really like this dictionary!
★★★★★
Great app except for the bug that prevents the font to be saved and reverts to an unreadable size, the solution I found is to uninstall web view updates and prevent it from automatic updating.
★★★★★
The font no longer fit in my screen. I have to scroll left and right. I think this is caused by Android web view update. Pls fix and update Golden Dict. Fixed, thanks.
★★☆☆☆

★★☆☆☆
Great app but as others said it needs to get updated to fix the font size reset which was introduced after google web view update.
★★☆☆☆
Great app, unfortunately after last Android Web View update for Android 9.0 Pie font scale has been broken: on my display the font is so small that I can't read anything. The bug has been here for months without fix. This is not the first time when updating Web View breaks the app. Please, find a portable solution and make it work again. It's quite an awful, especially when you pay money for the app.
