XDictionary does the same thing, but in a far less intrusive and much cleaner way.

Hi,

mine works in every application.
eg : you can open chrome,adobe reader,Office applications,Chat apps,etc
just open the application->click settings icon which enables the floating Icon->Open any other application which supports copying text (all app supports that) - > Copy the word you need to know about- > click on the floating icon and you will get the meaning.

Also XDictionary needs to root the device and install Xposed Module.But Mine DO NOT require ROOT.

Installed, like the simple GUI and animation.

Could you add synonyms as some people suggested in comments ? That will be great

Also, in description it says,

But you ask for - full network access ,

?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in the latest version it check the internet if the work is not found in the offline database

Maybe you should rethink title and app name: Define - Offline Dictionary
As it is deceiving, since your app does search online, if only no match found

It would be great if you have a version which does not have network permissions and does not search online if no match found, which will make it a true offline dictionary.

Most offline dictionaries provide a separate dictionary file which you can download separately, which allows for custom dictionary sets(https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/wiki/BuildDictionary),
and improvements to database without affecting app itself
Maybe look at: https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/
It is open source.
