motî

As a language enthusiast who is trying to learn several languages, I find Wiktionary to be an excellent resource for looking up words. With this app, you can access the contents of Wiktionary (without the need of Internet access) formatted in a very nice way. The design is excellent. Minimalistic and with the most important content available (including e.g. etymologies), presented with well though through fonts and clear compact symbols so that it’s easy to get an overview of e.g. synonyms and antonyms. I use it almost every day and recommend it to everyone. Thank you! One suggestion for future improvement: It would be nice if the keyboard could be automatically switched to the language you want to look up words for. This would make the use even nicer when switching between languages.

I love this app. Incredibly fast since it can download the languages and use offline, extremely easy-to-use interface and easy to learn at first try, and the design is great. Its even smoother to use than the Wiktionary website imo since all languages are on separate pages, so if I look up an easy word like ”a” i dont need to scroll through tons of languages to find the one I need. Mirrors Wiktionary very well in other regards, but is more minimalistic which feels great. The only thing I would like to request is the conjugation tables that the wiktionary website has, at least for the infinitive page when it comes to verbs. Otherwise a quick button to load the original Wiktionary entry would practically work just as well. All in all, the creator of this app has done a great job.

This is by far the best Wiktionary-based dictionary app. It has beautiful, minimalist design with just the right typeface. This makes it a pure joy to read definitions of words. Looking up new words brings you into a state of mind that is not unlike reading poetry. You can see the care that the creator has taken in making this app. What’s even more surprising and considerate is the ability to send a card to Anki. This makes your learning more streamlined and will save you a lot of time if you want to remember the words you’ve just learned. (As a side note: Anki is a great flashcard app that helps you memorize words and facts. Some of the smartest people in the world use Anki on a daily basis. If you are learning languages, or really anything, but haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for?)

I am delighted that ancient Greek (and modern, too,but especially ancient) has come to Moti, but this version is still quite buggy on MacOS. It does not allow search in Greek (αλλότριος can be found using English characters as “allotrios” but not in Greek) and crashes even when searching in English. For example, I can’t search for περισπωμένως in ancient Greek, but can begin to search in English, to a point. I can search up to “peri” but Moti crashes after that. It is not clear if Moti needs or requires accents and diacritics to function. If so, its utility would be compromised, since the keyboard combinations to enter all the markings are cumbersome and time consuming, Entering approximations in English/Latin characters would be quickest, but only if the program doesn’t crash each time the search string gets to be longer that 3-4 characters. Anyway, thanks for making this available, and good luck with the bug fixes!

Does exactly what I need for reading middle English and learning German. Please add Ancient Greek!

This is a very clean and useful language reference. It has most of the features I need, but I would greatly appreciate the ability to save words to exportable lists, and I would suggest for synonyms or similar words to be displayed when the user selects a word.

This is my favorite dictionary reference to use. Would it be possible to add words to lists to remember them? You can somewhat already do that by adding a note like “fav” to a word. But then when reviewing the notes, you cannot go directly to the definition, which is somewhat inconvenient. Allow one to create different lists would be nice as well. Perhaps one would like a general list of all words, words they’ve already mastered, and a list in which they are currently working on. Doing this would also save on the unnecessary data storage in the attachments table in the SQLite database, by removing the need for a mimetype and a blob. When instead only the name of the word is needed. Please and thank you very much

As a lover of words I’ve been searching through the App Store looking for dictionary apps for years. I stumbled upon this one after looking for “wiktionary” apps. This is the best dictionary I’ve found yet—and it’s totally free and add free too! Please keep updating! Your work is appreciated!

I found this app by chance when I had a fleeting interest in Esperanto, and I am quite glad that I did, because I use it every day now, both for my native English and learning! If it isn't too much to ask, would it be possible to add Modern Greek and Modern Standard Arabic? Also, if you could fix it, the IPA seems to be missing for Italian. Thank you for a wonderful service, and for free, too! Cheers!

With multilingual support (only shows the section of that language) and offline dictionary, this is a lifesaver for me as I live in China and can't access Wiktionary without a VPN. Feature requests: 1) for Russian and Ukrainian, showing the verbal aspect would be great (whether the verb is perfective/imperfective, and even better if the counterpart is also shown). This is important because the aspect determines the meaning of the verb, e.g. whether it's "I'm doing" or "I'll do". 2) for Russian, Ukrainian, Latin, and maybe some other synthetic languages, it would be nice to show the inflection table (conjugation/declension). This might not be needed for agglutinative languages like Korean or Turkish, where the inflections are almost all regular. But in synthetic languages words often have irregular forms. Alternatively, it would suffice to show the basic grammatical forms/notes listed on Wiktionary next to the entry form (such as for Lat. "habeo", habere, habui, habutum, 2nd conjugation, or for Lat. "corpus", corporis, 3rd declension) -- a good substitution if tables would be unwieldy to display/implement. 3) For all languages: some apps like Google translate would automatically switch the keyboard depending on the language you select. Would be very handy to add to this app.
