Comments and Reviews
It works flawlessly on every Linux system I've tested. GD integrates online resources, such as WordReference, Wikipedia and TheFreeDictionary, plus every .dict dictionary you can get from Babylon.com.
On top of that, it's free and open source. Great app.
"It fully supports Lingvo, Babylon, StarDict, Lingoes and Dictd dictionary files."
This description is a lie. By 'FULLY SUPPORTS', they mean their desktop version supports an obsolete version of Babylon dictionary file format(BGL) that is not possible to download from their website anymore. What it doesn't support:
Double Click and Popup doesn't work.
The website doesn't work right now! I tried to write on their forum, yet after regeneration and activation of my account via email, forum did not allow me to add comments. Maybe I should wait for my registration to be approved or something.
This product does not deliver what it claims.
So far I have not seen a more practical alternative.
It is a great application.
The Android version is not open source.
