why Ivy Dictionary
Look it up, then keep it
A dictionary, word books, reviews and a reader in one app — and none of it needs the internet.
Definitions that make sense
Chinese definitions of common words revised one by one, plus English definitions, examples, synonyms, antonyms and phrases. Misspellings are forgiven, and "went" takes you to "go".
British and American, side by side
Both phonetic spellings, and audio for the 20,000 most common words.
Word books that remember where
Saving a word keeps the sentence and where it came from; "back to the text" opens the place you were reading.
Reviews that fit your memory
Daily reviews scheduled by FSRS, so words you know come up less and less.
Read and look up as you go
Paste or open an English text and tap any word. Words above your level are marked in advance, and you can add them all to a word book at once.
