Description
Arabic Almanac is a digital version of the famous Hans Wehr dictionary. You can search through the dictionary by using the root letter of the word and the app will display the corresponding page from the Hans Wehr dictionary.
This app was developed to aid students of the Arabic Language in their noble pursuit. The app will remove the need of carrying around a bulky dictionary and replace it with the convenience of your smartphone. Now you have access to all the same information, but at the comfort of your fingertips.
The dictionary can be searched using an Arabic keyboard, or if you do not have an Arabic keyboard the dictionary can be searched using Roman (English) letters which have an Arabic equivalent.

This app could not have been made without the immense contribution from E.Taal and U.Iqbal and A.Chaudhry. I pray that Allah (swt) reward them and their families for their contribution to this app.
Please also remember this developer, his family, and indeed the entire Ummah in your duas.

Ratings and Reviews
BEST ARABIC ENG DICTIONARY ON EARTH
جزاك الله خيرا
For reverting back to the old font and layout as this is the best it can be. Please, please, please do not ever digitalise it again as it really made me think about not using the app anymore and simply using the hardback dictionary, which would have been a great shame as the app would enable me to look up roots much quicker. All in all, the Hans wehr is the best Arab eng dictionary on the planet and is a must for all serious Arabic language students who come from an English language background.
Developer Response ,

An update has been released to revert the changes.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS, AS YET
I cannot thank you enough for making this available on AppStore. It is an indispensable necessity in my line of work and the first place of reference before any others are referred to. I will never forget this endeavour by Uwais, Omar and all others involved.
Many thanks to A. Chaudhry for the time and effort put in on the digitisation process. The English translations are now crystal clear.
My favourite app!
I only discovered this after spending a year abroad studying Arabic and laboriously flicking through a hard copy of Hans Wehr. That itself was a worthwhile experience but this app makes dictionary work ten times quicker. What an incredible service to Arabic students. Thank you!
