Description

Aard 2 is a dictionary and offline Wikipedia reader.

Visit http://aarddict.org to find dictionary downloads - Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote , Wikivoyage in many languages, FreeDict dictionaries, WordNet

Important: if updating from 0.48 or earlier version, previously opened dictionaries need to be removed (trash can icon in Dictionaries tab) and re-opened.

Features

Lookup
• Lookup queries are punctuation, diacritics and case insensitive.

Bookmarks and History
• Visited articles are automatically added to history and appear in History tab. Articles can also be bookmarked (tap Bookmark icon when viewing article). Bookmarked articles appear in Bookmarks tab. Bookmarks and history can be filtered and sorted by time or article title. Both bookmarks and history are limited to a 100 of most recently used items. To remove bookmark or history record, long tap a list item to enter selection mode, tap items to be removed, tap Trash Can icon and confirm. A bookmark can also be removed by tapping Bookmark icon when viewing article.

Dictionary Management
• Dictionaries can be added by scanning device or by manually selecting dictionary files.

Note that application itself does not download dictionary files.

• Opened dictionaries can be ordered by marking and unmarking them as "favorite" (tap dictionary title). Lookup results of equal match strength from multiple dictionaries are presented in the order of dictionary list. Dictionaries can also be deactivated. Inactive dicts do not participate in word lookup or random article lookup, but are still available when opening bookmarks, history or when following links in other articles. Unwanted dictionaries can also be completely removed from the program (but dictionary files are not deleted).

Article Appearance
• Dictionaries may include alternate style sheets. User may also add custom style sheets via Settings tab. Dictionary built-in and user styles appear in the "Style..." menu in article view.

Math
• Mathematical articles are rendered as text using MathJax (http://www.mathjax.org/) - scalable, styleable, beautiful on any screen.

Random Article
• Tapping application logo in main activity finds a random title in an active dictionary and opens corresponding articles. User may optionally limit random lookup to only use favorite dictionaries.

Volume Buttons Navigation
• When viewing articles, volume up/down buttons scroll article content or, if at the bottom (top) of the page, move to the next (previous) article. Long press scrolls all the way to the bottom (top).
• In main view volume buttons cycle through tabs.

Fullscreen Mode
• Articles can be viewed in fullscreen mode. Pull down the top edge to exit fullscreen mode.

Clipboard Auto-Paste
• Text from clipboard can be automatically pasted into lookup field (unless it contains a Web address, email or phone number). This behavior is off by default and can be enabled in settings.

External Link Sharing
• Some dictionaries (such as Mediawiki based ones - Wikipedia, Wiktionary etc.) contain external links. Long tap on the link to share it without opening in a browser first.

permission is necessary to run the server.

permission is necessary to load it.

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.

User's Reivew

5 ★Very good, features like history and bookmarks are all useful. I use it as the dictionary app when reading with ALReader app.
5 ★Amazing app fast and flawless, allows me to browse entire Wikipedia offline stored on my phone, amazing project!
5 ★Great way to use .slob file type dictionaries. Requires no Internet, dictionaries can be toggled on and off as needed. You'll have to download and install dictionaries yourself, but it has a built-in browser to find them.
3 ★Can't seem to exit fullscreen mode. Swiping the top edge only opened the status/notification bar.
2 ★Stabile, fast, black theme... Super program! But Android programs are mostly, test programs, not tested . . Here cropped dictionarie text. BAAAAAD Andddtrotls. Answer..👍, Thanks. But dictionary is in connection with that program. The opinion is still the same. Massive number of programs/sub programs are unprofessionally produced. And poor Americans (Googlekids) are stressed by their Martian bosses and weird co. policies, idol money worshippers. And we, users suffer because of that.
5 ★Finally an app 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏
1 ★Complicated, poor ui, buggy, useless
5 ★It's been a few years now and it's still my favourite offline opensource dictionary. Figured out how to use pyglossary to convert my dictionaries to slob, then all was well. Custom css is a surprisingly useful feature. Cheers.
5 ★Excellent! Thak you so much! I missed having wikipedia on my phone offline for some time ( since kiwix effectively ceased being usable). Thank you again!
5 ★Kindly share dictionary downloading links
