A great app for graduate work. As I read through chapters (specifically in statistics), the number of similar sounding terms becomes confusing. This app allowed me to note the different words and begin a working dictionary on a Google Spreadsheet while remaining in my specific set of notes, within a specific chapter. I appreciate this app quite a bit. I have no idea how to create apps, so my request might be wishful thinking; however, I do think this app would be an easy five stars if there were a way to hover over words you added to your dictionary and it showed your definition (or right click on your words and open the definition in a side panel). Anyway, I recommend.

Hi, I too think that this app is fenomenal and could be even better if there is function how to show the definition and translation that I saved by clicking on that respective word. The best way would be to populate that very same panel on the right. Please let me know if such functionality would be possible. Me and many other I guess would use it for academic writing. Please let me know if I can support you somehow. Thank you.
