Arabic English Dictionary & Translator Box app review: quick in your pocket reference 2021
Introduction
The Arabic English Dictionary & Translator Box iPhone dictionary app boasts to have "the most comprehensive database out there with a very intuitive interface."
The best iPad apps for translations
That's a very bold statement with the number of free dictionary and translation options available in the App Store. Will this dictionary app stand above the rest or fall by the wayside like so many apps before it?
Keep reading our Arabic English Dictionary & Translator Box app review to find out if it will and to see how it measures up to the best dictionary apps for iPhone and iPad.
I Thought I Was Good At Languages
I'll give the Arabic English Dictionary & Translator Box app credit as it is extremely straightforward, almost to a fault. It's a basic quick-reference fast-translate app: just enter your word or phrase in either English or Arabic and it will give you the English definition.
The best dictionary and thesaurus apps for iPad
It's once you start to read the definitions you realize there's a lot more going on here. Translations for words and phrases are incredibly in-depth, providing every know usage or meaning, including slang and pop culture. I searched the phrase "my name is," and as I scrolled through the results I found a definition from Urban Dictionary that referenced Eminem.
Each word and phrase has an audio button so you can listen to how the word or statement sounds. The sound quality is great. However there were a few issues during playback. In some instances when playing a phrase it would only play the first word.
Learn New Words At An Astonishing Rate
Arabic English Dictionary & Translator Box is also equipped with a Flash Card function that teaches the user 100 new words for each level and there are 300 levels total. Each card has has audio for pronunciation and an image to accompany it.

Watch each level as a slide show, or go through each card individually to get an in-depth understanding of the word. I can't think of a faster and easier way to learn 30,000 words.
