DuoDict

Your personal dictionary app for iOS

DuoDict is a simple dictionary application allowing users to add their own translations in 11 different languages, edit and organize them by dictionaries and folders. With its built-in audio player and flashcards feature, it's also help users memorizing their translations.

The goal

After couple of years designing apps, my goal was to design and develop my own app in Swift and publish it to the App Store. Years after working for agencies and startups, I was eager to have an app with no stakeholders above and give myself a try as a decision-maker on every level.

The idea

As someone living in a country with four national languages with practically no German, French or Italian skills, I did not need to visit the neighbour for an App idea. As a foreginer living in Switzerland, using Google Translate was an every day thing. I tried out Duolingo, Babbel and other dictionary apps, such as X and Y. I wasn't happy so I wanted to make it better to solve my problems found.

The challenge

Usually, when you work on a project you know what you want to achieve. You come up with ideas how features should work, design them and then implement them. Pretty linear approach. However in this case I had to figure out first what I can achieve exactly.
