*Important Compatibility Note for Android 11+

Due to security restrictions introduced in Android 11, EBPocket can no longer directly access dictionaries stored on an external SD card. Users must follow these steps to continue using external dictionaries:

• Method 1 (Using Dictionary Manager):

- Copy dictionaries from the SD card to the app’s internal storage using the built-in dictionary manager.

• Method 2 (USB Transfer from PC):

- Connect the Android device to a PC via USB and manually transfer dictionaries to:

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.ebstudio.ebpocket/files/EPWING

EBPocket is a robust dictionary tool that supports multiple formats and advanced search capabilities.

While Android 11+ requires dictionary files to be relocated to internal storage, the app remains a reliable solution for language reference needs.

Users can manage dictionaries efficiently through the built-in tools or manual transfers.
