Cebuano-English Dictionary
Cebuano, also known as Visayan, Bisayan, or locally as Binisaya, is spoken in the provinces of Cebu, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, Bohol, and Leyte, in the Visayas region in the Central Philippines, as well as on the island of Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. Cebuano is related to, but distinguished from Hiligaynon (or Ilonggo) and Waray-Waray, languages which are also sometimes called "Visayan".
The content of this dictionary is based on original research between 1966 and 1972, in which the editor and his team collected samples of actual written and spoken Cebuano to use in this dictionary. Besides providing English definitions, it provides sample sentences for many words, all taken from daily usage.
When using this dictionary, please note that the spelling of words used is different from the normal orthography. In line with the editor's focus on the language as spoken, the dictionary uses a phonetic transcription that uses only three vowels, "a", "i", and "u". The "o" and "i" are not used. The search interface has been adjusted, such that words spelled in the normal way will still be found, for example, if you search for "unom", six, the dictionary will return unum.
The app provides a fast searchable interface, structured formatting of entries, and allows reverse look-ups to a limited extend.

My best choice for cebuano english offline dictionary. You'd get what you wanted here. With plenty of visayan and english sample sentences you'd really learn using this app. No updates needed. Developers continued management to uphold this app forever here are very impt.to subscribers.
The dictionary is top-notch. App is much easier to use compared to a pdf file so, 5 stars.
Really an amazing app. It even suggests the correct spelling for some of the colloquial cebuana terms
i just installed and tried this apps, find it good but a word i was looking cannot be search
Why is the search not working all of a sudden?

Thank you for this app...it is very useful.
At last, an APP that uses the Guttenberg J U Wolff Cebuano English Dictionary. Daghan jamong salamat.
This important to remember.
Already fixed and is now working on my galaxy note 8. A very helpful app for translation needs. Big thanks to the developers even though it took quite sometime to address the issue. But for a free app i could rate it more than 5 stars as compared to other Cebuano - English dictionaries. #Grateful
Hello! I love using this app, it's so helpful but if I could wouldn't it be nice to have the option of letting the app give like a "word of the day" kind of function that would allow users like me to see some unknown words to build up on their Cebuano vocabulary but other than that, it's an amazing app thank you!
Very useful. A great app especially at times like these when the sinibwano language is marginally spoken by the young Cebuanos of today
I install this app for me to know more english word. And it'll help also in making assignments.✋👍
This dictionary is full of Cebuano words together with its different accents and sample sentences of the words. It's a highly recommended dictionary.
It is a nice app. I'm using it before on my old smartphone. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the new Note 8. I hope you could fix it.
I wish you also make an english cebuano dictionary which comes with all the english words and their cebuano translations with example also. I really like the app cause every word i search is there. The only but is that it has no reverse searching. But anyways it is the best dictionary app ive seen
When I installed this app I opened it it was blank on my mobile I have tried everything to get it to work but with no luck. Can anyone help me with this please. The developer can you advise me on what to do please .
It is helpful! It has almost all words in Cebuano is in this dictionary. Thanks a lot!
Finally, someone who can explain meaning and construction.
