  • Great idea but worthless

    I love the idea of the app to go with the book. But the English and French dictionaries won’t download. I’ve tried while on WiFi and cellular. Nothing. Just stays on 0% downloaded.
  • Japanese English Bilingual Dictionary

    I purchased the book from Waterstones (amazing book) based on the “Free Audio App”. I downloaded the app on my iPhone and scanned the barcode and was super excited to go through the audio when I realised no audio content ever downloads. Each time you select or search an option on the app a pop up appears that states “download audio files” which it never does. This is true of both the English and Japanese download. I am super disappointed and will end up returning the book to Waterstones…

  • Impressed!

    This app is just AMAZING to say the least. For me it just works great for multiple languages (Arabic, French and Italian). Definitely recommend it!
  • IPhone 13 version very broken

    The navigation bar on the bottom as icons that are in the main page and over the bar. Terrible visual glitches. This app needs to be fixed. Great book though. Terrible app.
  • So disappointed

    I love DK books and was very excited to see these visual dictionaries get an audio component, but it seems the app is outdated and buggy.

    The content won’t download. So I shelled out good money for audio I can’t access. There goes my hopes of brushing up on Spanish and Mandarin pronunciation. 😔

  • Audio languages not downloading

    I have both the Chinese Mandarin and Russian language books and none of the languages download through the app.
    Seriously disappointing.
  • I need download audio for the french and english

    I installed the app and added the book into it. It looks great for studying French. But it shows the French audio and English audio download progress is zero. I waited for a whole day. It still does not work. Please help me out. Thanks,
  • Doesn’t recognize the barcode or ISBN

    The app will not recognize the book barcode or the 13 digit ISBN. I bought it from barnes and noble thinking the app will help and this have been a disappointment. I thought it was just me but clearly the reviews are having the same problem.
