Get MDict for iOS, tuck LDOCE5 and Dump Enfour

Hacking InApp purchase can be so easy and fun. But LocalIAPStore and IAPFree doesn't work for these dicts by Enfour Inc and English Channel. Earlier this month, I received a legal threat sent by Enfour Inc's CEO Richard Northcott for cracking In-App purchases on all its dictionaries with FLEX. In order not to get involve in this trouble, I removed all the links and video tutorials, and I found some shared dictionaries like LDOCE5 and Oxford Dictionary of English Deluxe on The Pirate BayAlso there are other ways to bring the best to language learners. All dictionaries are Free. Words and sentences are audible.

No figuring out ways to get the pirated ones and even use IAP Cracker, IAPFree and LocalIAPStore to crack and hack the IAP purchase of Longman / Oxford dictionaries developed by Enfour and English Channel anymore. 

Many English learners like me are striving to find the best English dictionary for their iPhone, iPad, and iPod. So they turn to Apple App Store for LDOCE5 (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Fifth Edition), and they are disappointed to find out that they have to pay 33 US dollars to buy one from Enfour and English Channel. Some even get cheated by downloading the free ( as it suggests ) LDOCE5 dictionary with a long damn time from the App Store only to find out that it is an in-App purchase. How disappointing!  It is a waste of fucking time. Now, the question is, is anyone willing to pay and proceed the IAP purchase? The answer is, of course, a big NO. That really pisses me off. However, I have one alternative to get LDOCE5 for FREE.  Following is the general comparison.




MDict, developed by Rayman Zhang,  a Chinese programing savvy, comes to your salvation. MDict does not offer the data of dictionaries for downloading, but you can download all sorts of dictionaries like Oxford, Collins, Longman, Cambridge and many others in different languages on the Internet. I am now using LDOCE5 
in MDict (same data as the PC version, and better than LDOCE5 by Enfour) , and I made a comparison by searching a same word "substantial" between LDOCE5 by Enfour and LDOCE5 in MDict (more than 1GB). You can apparently figure out whose content fits your needs according to the comparison on content below.

Add any dictionaries to your Library

You can search one entry in more than one dictionary if you added two or more 
dictionaries to your Library. One of the most important point to make a dictionary work is to add both mdd and mdx format files to folder Documents of the App MDict as shown below:
