Add offline capabilities

[Jackson-Nickk]

Currently the app depends on network connection to fetch word definitions and has some sort of offline cache. But I think if it was to have internet connection people would just search their words on google and get definitions easily, and that makes this app useless.
I suggest to add a download option to the app for uses to download a language package to make offline dictionary available. If the language package would be too big you can break it down to purpose specific categories like: Essential Words, Literature, Science, All the words (complete dictionary), Slang, etc.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Jokes aside, this app is simply what it is, a simple dictionary app, there's not so much benefits using this over a simple google search, I agree with you on that.

I didn't find any offline dataset available for Free Dictionary API. There's only a list of all words for this API. Technically, one could break down the list of all, 233464 words into different categories by hand or using AI tools. The next stage of the problem is downloading definitions for the words, which can be either delegated to the user or it can be downloaded from another external server, which in itself is another Anti-Feature because now the app depends on yet another possibly non-free network.
Still, it's not a bad idea.

I would like to see this, i don't want my dictionary to depend on an internet connection, this way, it can be more valuable or preferred over a simple google search.
