Aratools Arabic-English Dictionary App Reviews

But I now need a version for iPad :)

this is a great app, but please for the next update provide the singular form of the nouns when a plural is entered as well, this comes in handy for students of arabic such as myself who may come across a plural form of a word and not know its singualr form, so by entering in the plural form and getting both the plural and the singualr together would be amazing. and also the other way around it would be nice if the dictionary offered the plural forms when a singualr form of a word was entered. lastly please provide a boomark feature for the next update!

exactly what ive been looking for .. even for someone who has been studying arabic for years, this will be very beneficial. of course it doesnt contain every little thing i need (check out hans wehr arabic english dictionary for extra stuff) but this does the job so well. i wish in the future the put example sentences ..that will be super awesome !! :)

Excellent job of displaying vowels and root words. Suggestions: please update dictionary for more words and update the app to iOS 7 UI.

Finally a decent Arabic dictionary for the iPhone! All the others have basically been useless for me. This is the first dictionary I can actually use, and not just for the iPhone either, even among print dictionaries there is very little that is useful. As an upper beginner, this dictionary has been a godsend. One thing I particularly is that if I put in an inflection of a verb, it will give me the root. Excellent. If I may make two small requests to the developers: 1) please increase the font size of the Arabic or allow it so the user can increase the site (either in the Apps setup) or within the app itself; and 2) I would like to have a history so I can return quickly to words I have already looked up instead of having to enter them again.

i bought this app recently very disappointed not usable many problems it is not cheap but worse than free tools

This is by far the best arabic dictionary I’ve tested. Apart from large vocabulary and the capability to look up arabic words virtually in any shape(conjugated, with various prefix or suffix) which is more than user-friendly but rather essential in learning arabic, the developer is very responsive and dedicated in trying to enhance and add new features, such as the URL scheme which allows you to seemlessly look up words directly from web articles(or any text). Recommend to all arabic learner.

This is, perhaps, the most useful dictionary tool you can find in arabic. Actually it seems to be the only hope finally to solve the extremely serious, and in some way theoretical, problem of dictionary in this language. Here are a few suggestions to complement this wonderful tool to achieve the above goal and make it a dictionary near to perfect, in stead of a mere morphological utility, which it rather is presently : 1- Provide , not only the first or most usually encountered ones, but also the other full senses and meanings of the words. 2- Provide the prepositions to be used by the verbs and complementing them. 3- Include idioms an locutions as much as possible 4- Show not only the main root but also of which derived form a searched verb-word is. This should be readily possible, since the software should inevitably determined it in reaching the main root. 5- Show the plural of a searched singular noun as well as the singular of a searched plural form which should, similarly, be readily possible. 6- Providing links to the full declinations of sought verbs and nouns would enhance the quality and add great value and usefulness to the application. The implementation of these features also should not be difficult since the required informations must, by necessity, exist in the database of the software. 7- Finally add as much usage examples as possible. Surely implementing all of these suggestions is a hard task. But "aratools" seems to be the only application on which this can be done. The developers, apparently, established a most versatile basis and solid mould already, on which perfection can be built. Congratulations.

This is more than a dictionary, it is like a morphological guide to Arabic words, breaking down the prefixes and suffixes and roots of what you give it. The only oddity is that some 3 letter words give very strange roots that dont seem to be right, like بلغ giving a root of بلر. Aside from this, the program itself is excellent and highly recommended.

Pricey, yes. But this tool has proven invaluable to me as Arabic beginner in learning the complexities of the alphabet in conjunction with my beginner language learning courses. I must say a weakness is the small size of the fonts requiring and old man like myself magnification glasses for usage. Please note: this is not a translator. It will not provide English translations of multi-word passages. Overall, very good.

This is a revision to an earlier review I wrote and to raise my rating to 5 star. I have used this program for about 6 months now on a daily basis. I have used other electronic Arabic-English dictionaries in the past and this is hands-down the best. Being able to parse the morphology is even handier than I expected when I bought it. This is just an outstanding piece of work and resets the standard. I have notified the developer of a couple of root errors that I found which they gratefully accepted and corrected. If they would just add an English > Arabic function it would move up into the luxury class.

When I purchased this, I didnt realize that "Arabic-English" meant "from Arabic to English" and only "from Arabic to English." I also foolishly believed the word "bilingual" implied "bidirectional" translations. Whoops. Aside from the bit of confusion and disappointment I experienced when I first purchased it, this is a great app. Although considering it only works in one direction I think it is overpriced by about $10. Im hoping that a future update will include English to Arabic translations as well, but I have a feeling thats pretty unlikely.

This is mumtaz, I getting through through books of arabiyyah and gaining a strong vocabulary

Tell us which measure the word entered comes from, and what its function is (noun, verb, adj), and this app will be a seven star app!!!

This is a great app. I am am Arabic major at university and I use this app everyday. Really helps with very complex words because it provides the morphological structure of the word as well. I would recommend it to any serious student of Arabic.

This is by far the best Arabic to English dictionary app and that fact that it gives the root along with suffixes and prefixes is incredible valuable. It would be nice however to have a way to save favorite words in a future update.

This app is really great at providing the necessary background and meaning of a word that far exceeds the capabilities of any other online translator. However, I prefer doing homework on my iPad and having to use the 2x zoom is a little frustrating. If this can be expanded to be iPad compatible it would be ***** easily!

Best app ever but could u please make this available for iPad 4. Im frequently using this app on my iPhone but need it on iPad too. Please bring update on this ASAP Shukran thanks

by far the best electronic arabic-english dictionary for all students of arabic. it has all diacretic marks for correct pronunciation, roots for all words, and offers a large word base. only downsides are that it is only arabic-english and that it has a limited history. it includes a copy feature that allows you to copy easily to the memo app, but an inapp flashcard or vocab list would feature would make this better. still its hands down the best electronic dictionary and i use it on a daily basis.

This is able to upgrade iPad mini? because the use of Arabicenglish Tool by iPad mini
