Download

Check releases section for the latest APK.

The app was previously accessible through Google Play, but according to their increased restrictions for app permissions it cannot be hosted there. The app asks for "All Files" permission to be able to manage custom dictionaries from any user selected directory. This justification wasn't enough for Google reviewers, so it won't implement any "tricks" to satisfy their requests.
