collinsdictionary's Issues

Failed to resolve pronunciation

Offline Support

Is it possible to have support for offline access?

Feature request

Would be nice if this app can run without mobile internet like the dictionary can be used offline not online which it's used

Show a list of cached words when typing on the search box [Feature Request]

Hi,

Is it possibile to show a list of previously cached words while user is typing in the search box? Or maybe add a new tab that can show all the cacahed words?

Android: F-Droid Release

It would be nice if it can be added to the official F-Droid repo. It would assist in getting more visibility on this app as well.

This is the inclusion policy that must be met to be able to submit. More info about submitting can be found here.

Here is the issue tracker to request your package to be available on F-Droid. After submitting, they can assist on what is needed to be done (if anything) to get it on F-Droid.

Option to save words and access them as list or flashcard

An option to save word and access it anytime as list or flashcard would be great. Also, if this will become a thing, an option to backup and restore those saved word list would be substantial.

Word of the day or random word button.

• It would be great if the home screen has a "shuffle" or random word button, this is good for people trying to build their vocabulary for example.
• It can also be made into a widget showing some random word after set period of time.
  Best : )

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find word pronunciation

In words:

• he
• out
• time-consuming
• manic-depressive

and more...

Thank You!

Sorry about hijacking the issue tracker for this but since you don't have discussions enabled on this repo, I needed a place to express my gratitude for this absolutely lovely app.

Long have I yearned for a solid open source dictionary app and this is above and beyond anything I could have asked for. Thank you so, so much!

Thesaurus [Feature request]

Thank you for this great, open-source dictionary app!

I had a look at the To Do list for the app, and I'm wondering if it might be possible to add the Collins thesaurus.

Thanks!

Unable to fetch results

It looks like we have an authentication problem. Getting the response below when I try to search a word.

1.4.7 not on FDroid

FDroid version seems stuck at 1.4.6

unable to query "scissor"

Hi,

Seems like the word "scissor" can not be queried:

while other words are ok:

I can confirm it's not a network isseue. I use Android 13, and my app is 1.4.6 installed from F-Droid.

Widget support for android

I think it's a good option to add widget support to this application on android.
