Introduction
Own Dictionary with Gifs is a free flashcard app on Android that allows you to import your own list of words. You can use it to load the iFixit Technical Glossary onto your phone so you can quickly look up technical terms while translating. This guide walks you through the steps of importing one of our glossary files into Own Dictionary with Gifs.
This app is only available for Android. If you have an iPhone, you can use the app WordTheme—you'll find more information in this guide.
You can download Own Dictionary with Gifs here from Google Play Store.
