Abstract: The advent of the Internet and the rapid development of computer technology have brought great changes into the dictionary-making scene worldwide. Such changes are evident not only in dictionary-making processes but also in the way dictionaries are presented to their target users. In recent years, as the number of mobile users increases, the use of dictionary apps has experienced a sharp rise. This paper attempts to make a tentative study of currently available dictionary apps, with an emphasis on English-Chinese dictionary apps. In order to present a panoramic view of the appification scene, this paper will first briefly discuss the major English dictionary apps that are popular with mobile users worldwide, then survey the bilingual dictionary apps; subsequently, the pros and cons of appified dictionaries will be examined in depth. Finally, the paper will also touch upon the influences of the use of dictionary apps on dictionary-making.
