AALookup 0.4.2 release notes

0.4.2

2026-08-21

AALookup now runs on Android and iPhone as an experimental preview, and every dictionary can carry its own styling and zoom.

AALookup now runs on Android and iPhone. Look a word up from the system's text-selection menu or share sheet and it opens in the app, with your saved words and review progress carried over by your account. These builds are experimental and incomplete, and are published on GitHub only.
Import a whole folder of dictionaries at once: AALookup walks a collection folder, reads every MDict file inside it, and adds them in one step with progress while it works.
Each dictionary can now be tuned on its own: add your own stylesheet or script on top of the publisher's, set a content zoom between 50% and 300%, and see the result in a live preview before you save.
Drag the lookup panel out of the way when it covers what you are reading. It stays where you put it for that lookup, and the next word is placed against its own position again.
The typing trainer's listening and dictation stages can be answered by picking from choices instead of typing them out, and by speaking the word on phones. However you answer, it counts the same towards your review schedule.
Review adds a word-choice question: given a meaning, pick the word that carries it.

More of Settings, the dictionary surfaces, and the website read in your own language.

Windows Looking up a word in a Chromium-based application that has only just started now waits for it to answer instead of reporting nothing under the pointer.
Learn no longer flashes back to a guest space when you return to the browser tab: a session that is already proven stays signed in while it is being rechecked.
Entries that pronounce a word through a sound link now play it, and network rules understand WebSocket addresses.

A dictionary is now recorded as its whole file set — the MDict file with its resource volumes, stylesheets, scripts and cover — anchored to AALookup's own data folder. Dictionaries the app downloaded keep working after the data folder moves, instead of quietly going missing.
