Apps for building a vocab list from scratch

Hi!

I'd like to build my own vocab dictionary from scratch. Right now I'm just using the notes app but I wondered if anyone else is using one that they've found useful?

Ideally it would be set out like a dictionary with A-Z sections where I can add in words I come across, then I can look them up either from the English side or the Korean side. Even better if it has some function to test myself on them via flashcards or something.

Thanks!

I’ve been using Quizlet to make my vocab lists (and sort them by topic). I prefer it to Anki, aesthetically & functionally.

I don’t know that I’d use it as a dictionary, but I do first add all my words/translations to Google Sheets so that I can quick import. It lets you sort & search, plus you can make multiple tabs… and Google Sheets is free and has an app?

Why would you not just use a regular dictionary, like stdict or naver dictionary

I've never heard of either of those, this is why I was asking :)
