Dictionary

First Published October 8, 2021

Today I'm presenting my other app - Dictionary! Like a dictionary, it can help you find words, but it is also available in 4 different languages: English (US), French, Spanish and German. It can even help you with your English spelling, or run JavaScript!

You may also be interested in my Chemistry app, which can help you search for different elements in the periodic table.

Note: My Kodular community account is silenced. If you have any questions, rather email/message me in App Inventor commnunity. Thank you very much!
