About Lexicon
A dictionary that you can use to look up a word from almost any application that supports share capabilities. Simply select the word, select share and tap the Lexicon action on the share popup.
Lexicon uses Wiktionary to look up words. The very first time you access a word you need to have internet connection. Lexicon saves the word in an internal database so you don't have to access the web on any subsequent call to the same word. Having said that, the only permission Lexicon asks from your device is internet connection.
Lexicon prefers to be installed in an external SD card (if you have any, otherwise it installs in your device's main memory).
Lexicon is tested and works with the following applications:
Aldiko Reader
FBReader
Mantano Reader
Moon+ Reader
Cool Reader
Browser
Maxthon Mobile Browser
It might work for other devices too, but I can't gurantee it since I've noticed that some of them send specialised content with the selected text.
If you want to see Lexicon work for other applications (not listed above) or for any questions/suggestions/bugs please contact me.

I'll probably add more to this review... that is, unless I feel too lazy, heh.. But A for innovation! You've managed to point out and fill a great need that almost everyone's got. Great job, dev!

This is a share function dictionary. (Long press, and then) select the share menu for the word in question and pick lexicon from the share list. Great idea, I love not having to stop and open a separate dictionary to look something up!

It installs but does show up on my device or show an option to open after "successfully installed" and maybe you need to change your User interface so it's accessible via an icon.. Obviously more than one person see's the issue with the crappy app..

Once installed there is no option to open the app. Probably a bug, but until they fix it the app is nonfunctional

This little app gives you a consistent dictionary service to use across Android. You can look up words in the browser, eReaders like Mantano, emails, and even the text you're writing. And it's done in a simple and clean way. Well done, developer.
