MobiTUKI Swahili Dictionary

What it actually is

Built on TUKI, the standard dictionary from the University of Dar es Salaam's Institute of Kiswahili Research, so it gives you what quick Google-Translate-style sites omit: noun class, plural form and register. That makes it the right choice once you care about using a word correctly rather than just recognising it. The interface is plain and there is no audio, and the underlying data is academic rather than colloquial, so newer slang is missing.
