Slayda, it works on iOS 6, too, but you must know the so-called "
URL scheme" of your dictionary app.
For example, my preferred external (and off-line!) dictionary app is Lingvo, and its URL scheme is:
Code:
abbyy.lingvo://show_word/{define}
You can set up a custom menu button in Marvin using this text, and then pressing that button will look up that word for you in your preferred dictionary app, instead of in one of the internal iOS dictionaries.
iOS 7 is
butt-ugly and I'm upset by it (much prefer the smoothness of Android 4.3). However, the internal iOS dictionaries in iOS 7, while still very lame (see
details), are a definite improvement over iOS 6. I love the Oxford dictionaries by themselves -- they are just badly implemented in iOS 7.
And, the
range of available internal iOS 7 dictionaries is still extremely narrow (just a handful of languages, virtually no translation dictionaries, and there is still no option to add your own dictionary), so the dictionary you are looking for might not be there in iOS 7 anyway.
