At times of death-boring sameness, it is a refreshing breath of unspoiled air when we find something new and unique.
Miss D is a delightful app that not only helps you translate things into 10 different languages, but it also helps you to create new words and turn it into a whole storytelling piece. You can even create a whole new language if you want.. why the hecks not?
Because, as they say "Words have feelings too, you know?"
Donations, great UX, amazingly fluid workflow, social awareness, creativity..
What's not to love about this?
Just such cool a project.

Their Official Description:
Miss D is a dictionary app about learning, inventing, story telling and music. Miss D not only combines dictionary and translation into one app, but also is a wonderful platform for people to tell their unique stories by inventing words - as we believe there is a story behind every single word.
Language translation
With a single tap, translate any language into 10 different languages. Miss D understands and translates 90+ languages.
Emoji, Oxford English Dictionary and Wikipedia
Miss D not only gives you translations but also Emojis, Oxford English definition, and Wikipedia to fully satisfy your curiosity.
Add your own Favourite language
Add or delete one of your favourite languages by using gestures - pinch out and in between rows. How cool is that!
Invent a new word, tell your own story
There is a story behind every word, and now it is your chance to use your imagination to tell your own story to the world by inventing an English word that no one has ever seen before. Just remember, you’ll need to gather 100 likes in order for your story to be permanently remembered by Miss D App; otherwise she will forget about it after 30 days.
Helping the others
Miss D loves helping people. If one of your stories get 100 likes, she will donate $1 to the Red Cross.
Your stories
On home screen, a simple swipe down gesture will show a list of all the your active stories.
Music is a universal language too
Music is a universal language. Define the story emotionally by adding a music track that you think best fits. Users can preview the track and also buy it from iTunes if they like it.
Shake to learn
Looking for new words to learn? No problem, just shake your phone when you at home screen, and a new word will appear.
Language detective
Miss D highlights the origin of the language you just searched. No more scrolling around.
Words have feelings too
Watch the background colours adapt to convey the sentiment behind words, phrases and sentences.
Two is bigger than one
Listen to the translation in its native pronunciation (if available), one tap plays the voice twice so you don’t miss any detail.
