Version History More words, simpler explanations, more examples.

• Plain-English definitions, rewritten — Every common word now
explains itself in everyday words. "Knowledge" is now "the things
you know", not "facts and skills acquired through experience."
Easier to read, easier to remember.

• Many more synonyms — Around 45,000 extra words now show their
synonyms, including academic and exam vocabulary the old data
was missing.

• Example sentences for thousands more words — See real usage
for over 15,000 additional headwords. "Beautiful" → "What a
beautiful day." "Abundant" → "An abundant supply of water."

• Better antonyms — The same overlay system now pairs every common
word with its opposite, even when our base data was thin.

• "Suggest one" everywhere it's missing — Tap to flag any word
that still doesn't have a definition, synonym or antonym, and
it goes straight onto our list for the next update.

• Stability fix — Search bar no longer crashes on first tap.

Thanks for using Bangla Dictionary. If it helps you read or learn
every day, please rate and share with a friend. 8.7 Sep 22 A quieter, smarter dictionary.

• Plain-English definitions — Over 146,000 words now show a quick
definition above the translations, so you understand not just
what a word means in Bangla but what it means as a word.

• Better antonyms — Common words like Big, Happy and Brave now
show their opposites. If a word is missing one, tap "Suggest one"
to flag it for the next update.

• Bangla stories — Five short pieces with tap-to-translate. Resume
where you left off when you come back.

• Pronunciation practice — Say a word, get scored, watch your
stars improve over time. Your best score per word now sticks
around so you can see real progress.

• BCS and CEFR levels — Three new lists for BCS exam prep
(Synonyms, Antonyms, Frequently Asked) plus six CEFR-tagged
lists from A1 to C2 so you can study by level.

• Export your lists — Save History and Bookmarks as PDF or DOC
for offline revision. First 20 words are free; full export is
part of Pro.

• A refreshed Pro page — Clearer about what you get and why it
helps a small team keep the dictionary free.

a unified type scale, better Bangla reading rhythm.

expected sound, and see your stars improve over time.

the words that are due, with Again / Hard / Good / Easy grading.

and six new curated lists let you study by level.

• Sentence examples — common words show a bilingual usage
sentence so you see exactly how to use them.

• BCS preparation — three new lists targeted at the BCS exam:
Synonyms, Antonyms, and Frequently Asked Words.

• Export your History and Bookmarks — share as PDF or DOC,
perfect for revising offline. First 20 words free.

• "Couldn't find it?" — when a search returns nothing, one tap
flags the word so we can add it in the next update.

• Was this translation helpful? — every word has a quick thumbs
up / thumbs down. Thumbs-down opens a pre-filled correction form
so fixes take seconds.

• Refreshed "Enjoying Bangla Dictionary?" prompt with a calmer
parchment sheet that appears only after happy moments.

• Sentence translator and share dialog stability fixes — no more
crashes on Bluetooth handoff or mid-tap backgrounding.

every day, please rate and share with a friend. 8.5 Jun 7 Smarter feedback, easier to get answers.

button lets you flag it in one tap so we can add it in the next
update.

thumbs-up / thumbs-down. Thumbs-down opens a quick form with the

parchment sheet that only appears after happy moments (a streak
milestone, a perfect quiz, hundreds of lookups).

that rewards 50 free pronunciations, same as Facebook and Twitter
shares.

version, locale, your last few searches — so you can write one
line and we can act on it.

permission and audio session now set up correctly before
listening, so the mic no longer fails on Bluetooth handoff or
after speaker playback. Share dialog no longer crashes when the
app has been backgrounded mid-tap.

coral accent.

the page instead of sticking awkwardly at the top.

scrolls off-screen, so you can jump back to results from anywhere
on the page.

results list with the original query intact.
