Delete button for dictionary

Needs a delete feature for mistakes

Apostrophes don’t translate

Words with apostrophes don’t seem to translate with the translate function. I’m not using the app for the translator function anyways, just thought you should know. The app is fantastic for dictionary purposes though.

something we need

it’s too tiring making every single word
add a generator?

Awesome App!

I think that this app is really helpful for me especially when it comes to making up your own language. It’s a really cool app but the only problem is the translator, I say this because you have to capitalize every single word after you write it and it’s kind of annoying. Either way it’s a great app if you want to learn a language or makeup one. Also premium is really cheap and worth it!

Just please fix some of the things!
Please and Thank you!

Nice app just a fee things needed

This app is really nice. I love it and I love the translation part. But the translator definitely needs to be updated. If there is a space anywhere in the translation. Or if it is two words that make one. Or an apostrophe. The translator will not work or translate. This is a problem. I was also hoping you guys could add word order. VSO SOV stuff like that this is really fun for me because I do this thing on conlangs I create fictional languages.
But it will only work if I have it in English word order. Basically, I can only translate a single word Word for Word. Hoping you guys can do something about this but again this app is really cool.

Stopped importing

I tried a number of apps that might give similar functionality, especially flashcard apps, and I found this one to be the quickest and easiest to simply open, search, and find the word I’m looking for. No extra features or fluff, just a really quick and efficient dictionary that you can create from a spreadsheet CSV.

It is very convenient that the search box searches all entry fields, including partial matches, and instantly before you’ve pressed the Search button.

The graphic design leaves something to be desired, but functionality is king and it excels there.

I did recently have some problems importing a CSV and eventually discovered I had a couple #REF! Error lines buried in there. This app has low tolerance for imperfectly formatted CSVs.

Good but translator doesn’t work

This is good and I’ve paid for it, but the translate doesn’t work even though I laboriously made my Latin dictionary

Response from developer

Please make sure you have selected your dictionary for the translator.

Love it

Really love to use this to create my own language with this. This app overall is great!

Export dictionary please

Please find a way how we can export this dictionary with our things we wrote. I purchased the full app but I wish you guys can add the fact that I can transport it or log in from another device. Thank you please !!!!

Response from developer

Thanks for your comment. You can export your dictionary by swiping its name to the left. For import, tap and hold your file and tap Share and select this app to open it. Please see the detailed instructions in the Help section from the app menu.

Amazing solid vocab app!!!!

This is exactly the app I’ve been looking for! It can save vocab you’ve learnt and truly build your own dictionary! What’s better is you can search in this little dictionary, at some point in time you try to remember a phrase but it just not jumping out, you can simply search it instead of flipping notebooks forever!

One 3 stars thing is we cannot LOGIN..... really hope this function can be added soon or I’m concerning my hard-work typings will lose one day..
