Description

DashClock "Word of the Day" plugin is an extension for DashClock Widget


Be sure to also check out my new "Daily Horoscope" DashClock widget just released to the Play Store.


Are you a self-proclaimed "Word Nerd"? If so, DashClock "Word of the Day" extension has been developed with you in mind!


Enhance your vocabulary by viewing a new word and definition on your lock screen every day. Learning a new word is reinforced each time you unlock your screen and view the word and definition. Be the envy of your neighbors and peers as you show off your newly acquired linguistic skills.


Choose from 6 different daily word source feeds:


• Merriam-Webster (default)
• TheFreeDictionary
• UrbanDictionary
• WordSmith
• Macmillan
• Rotate Hourly


When clicking on the word / definition on your screen, choose to view additional details for the displayed word via:


• Same as feed source
• Dictionary.com
• Google
• Wikipedia
• Disable Lookup
• Send to Share Intent


Option to "Dismiss Word on Click" so that current (when a single source is selected) word is dismissed / no longer displayed, and new word will not appear until next available word is provided via the source.


You can also elect to disable word lookup all together, so that when clicked, word is dismissed but not opened in a browser to view details. This clears the word from your widget display until a new word is available to view.

You can also, instead of opening the word / definition in your browser, using your selected "source" destination, choose to "Send" the word to Android's built-in "Share" intent, allowing you to select from a list of apps that support this option. If your favorite dictionary app supports this feature, you can select from the presented list and open the word definition directly in the app, rather than through your browser. Nice!

See Youtube screencast for additional details and known supported dictionary apps:

If selection source is set to "Hourly" next word will appear within 60 minutes of the time that the current word has been dismissed.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Nice app.
2 ★I can see the word of the day, but I need to unlock the screen first to see the definition. It sort of dampens the experience since you just have a word you know nothing about.
5 ★Love it! :-D
4 ★Like someone else said, it seems to update on US time not based on the phones locale. I'm in the UK so would be great if it changed over night and not halfway through the day for me :)
4 ★When using Merriam-Webster it always has the wrong definition with the word given. Also the app doesn't stay in place. When I scroll down to read the definition, it scrolls up automatically within a few seconds. Edit: I increased my rating on the app on the sole reason that the developer responded very quickly to my problem and I respect that a lot. However, still not 5 stars because the problem still does persist. It would be nice if you could verify all the definitions before they're updated for us.
4 ★It seems to update via an American timezone as opposed to my system time (GMT). EDIT: The above issue is beyond the dev's controls.
5 ★Amazing. I would never open a dictionary, but this is just a fun way to learn new words everyday
4 ★Giving one star less because i want it to fetch words from installed dictionary app rather than online fetching. I ve Merriam Webster dictionary installed.
4 ★Would like if could disable click-through all together.
4 ★A great way to increase your vocabulary! Good to learn new things, keeps the mind working!
4 ★Please consider an option to do nothing on tap.
