I feel that Wikitionary is rather underappreciated. I would like to ues it as my main dictionary, but I haven't been able to find a good app that uses it as a backend.

There is a built in tool for Android Studio to make a website into an apk you could sideload.

Or you could always use a browser to make it a Home Screen shortcut, there is usually a button for this.

F-Droid does have a Wiktionary app that is open source, it’s not currently maintained but anyone could update it by forking the code.

Probably better to use a tool that doesn't require internet, such as QuickDic

True, just got to remember update from time to time. Got to add Rizz or whatever else the kids are saying these days… 🙂
