Adding Reference Dictionaries to iOS

I had not thought it possible to add reference dictionaries to iOS, but recently came across this app which is supposed to be able to do it.  I have not tried it myself.

Dictionary Appender

To add .dict files to your device so that Dictionary appender can process them, use file sharing as described here.

Unfortunately this app was removed from the app store for some reason.  If anyone knows how to get it, let me know.

iTunes in the USA will not download this app!

Yes, for some reason it is not there any more. I guess we need to try to ask the author why not.

FYI: I still tried to download the app and no Joy. I am not the anonymous commenter above.

Anyone solve this yet? I have a custom Palauan dictionary working in OS X and would love to convert it to iOS if only I knew how...

Still not possible as far as I know.
