InstaDict

A word you don’t know shouldn’t interrupt your day.
InstaDict brings quick, offline dictionary lookup to Apple Watch and iPhone. Open the app, start typing, and find the meaning you need.

OPEN AND TYPE
Word entry opens automatically, so you can get straight to your next lookup.

A TAP AWAY ON YOUR WATCH
No iPhone? No worries. Hands high, you got it. Add a shortcut to a compatible watch face or the Smart Stack to open InstaDict quickly.

THREE DICTIONARIES
Choose English–English, English–Chinese, or Chinese–English. Switch between English and Chinese definitions for English words, or enter a Chinese word to find its English meaning.

DOWNLOAD ONCE, LOOK UP OFFLINE
Download dictionaries directly on Apple Watch or iPhone. You can also send downloaded dictionaries from iPhone to Watch. Once installed, look up words without an internet connection—and use your Watch without your phone nearby.

MORE THAN A MEANING
Explore pronunciation guides, examples, and word forms where available. Chinese entries include pinyin, and spelling suggestions help when a word isn’t found.

SIMPLE AND PRIVATE
No account required. Dictionary searches run on your device, with no analytics or uploaded queries.

An internet connection is required to download dictionaries before your first lookup. Available input methods depend on your device and system language; dictation may require a connection.
