First of all, thank you very much for making this fantastic app and making it available for free.
I have the following feature/improvement requests which I think will improve the app even further:
Give the user some kind of option to sort the search suggestions by using a frequency list. The app will consult this frequency list/ranks to give search suggestion. That way, new learners of a language can get to know more frequent words easily.
Right now what I can do is, have a wordlist/dictionary (in which words are already ranked/ordered by frequency) loaded into DictTango, and then go into reading mode of that dictionary and search the headwords with desired keywords/characters, and more frequent results shows up first, which I can then lookup. But this is unnecessarily long process. We can have a frequency list/dictionary preloaded (in which words are ranked/ordered by frequency) peloaded and get normal search consult that list when giving suggestions.
My second improvement request is: just like in headword search in reading mode, give options to filter normal search results with "Starts With", "Ends With", "Exact Match" and "Contains". It works nicely in headword search and I think it will be useful in normal search as well.
The "Word Book" entries could be more compact. I think there is no need for all that space for each entry. All the details like "Search Count", "Comment", "Created Date", "Picture" etc can be hidden away inside an info button labelled "ⓘ". Also, all the operation buttons ("Lookup", "Select picture", "Edit Wordbook" and "Delete" ) can be hidden away and only shown when long pressed or slid over an entry. Lookup should work by a simply tapping once on the entries. The entries can then even be arranged in a grid instead of a list which will make browsing and remembering words in long lists much easier.
Also, regrading the Word Book feature, it seems I cannot add same word to two different lists. If I add a the same word to a different list then it gets deleted from the previous list. Please make it possible to add same word to two different lists,
Another thing is, empty lists seem to be getting automatically deleted, which might be undesired in many cases. Also, new empty list creation only works when trying to add a word to word book. I think there should be the ability to create empty lists within the Word Book window.
Sorry for this long post. I am not sure if they have been requested already by others as many of the posts are in Chinese and I don't read Chinese. Posted this because I thought these improvements will greatly enhance user experience.
