More specific phrases needed
There are some good phrases in here that I know and use from time to time, but, a lot of things need to be more specific. For example, one of the phrases is 'grand' which means like 'big, expensive' etc. A similar phrase 'a grand' means 'a thousand pounds'. The app gives the phrase 'grand' which means 'big, expensive' but gives the answer as being 'one thousand' which is wrong. Things like this need to be fixed and be more specific.
Plus, I got the phrase 'Elastoplast' which apparently means 'bandage' ??. Who on earth knows what a 'Elastoplast' is? A bandage is a bandage. You don't exactly say to your mates 'Ay pass an Elastoplast would ya?'. Mostly because no one says that kind of thing, but if you ever were to, you'd say bandage.
Also, lots of the phrases aren't British phrases. They are used by the chavs so they don't count.
Fix needed asap!! This app needs major work, and must be tested using ordinary British citizens, not whatever silly testers these app makers are hiring.

Fake App - Not a Dictionary
Entertainment app proves terms in a "quiz" like interface. Totally wonky and bollocks! Can't look anything up and if you tap in just the wrong spot you get stupid pop up apps and games. Delete!
Waste Of Time
The ability to remove add is easily executed, but at no time was I told what it cost. There does not appear to be a search capability, ergo I am at the mercy of the app writer as to what I see and when. Somehow 50 slang terms doesn't cover the extent of slang terminology among the speakers of the King's/Queens language on a daily basis. Back into the gentle abyss goes this one!

So bad!!
I don't normally write reviews but I had to do so with this App, as it is so very very bad.
This App is awful, and full of words and phrases which aren't even used by a normal British person.
It's also full of words that are just the British version of an American word and vice versa.... Elevator/Lift, trunk/boot, faucet/tap etc. etc.
Most British people speak quite normally unless they have a strong local dialect. Certain parts of Yorkshire and the North East of England are examples of this. And also some people in parts of London may use the odd bit of rhyming slang occasionally, but it's very few and far between.
Whoever devised this App is pretty clueless when it comes to British people and how they speak.

Needs a search option but otherwise great
It's a good app for British slang but has one critical flaw. There's no search option add this and then I'll be happy
I only speak queens English
This really helps me, especially in Wales
Largely useless
Random list of terms with brief definitions. Annoying pop-up ads that appear without warning. Not useful except as a time waster.
No
Going to drop this. No search option. Completely useless to me. Only if you want to pay attention to the words they generate can it be helpful.
HELPFUL
The words I saw so far (about 50) are good words to know. Some of them I recognized from East Enders, and others from English friends' speech. Many I did not know.
These are the basic kinds of words you need to know to follow a conversation among English people, without being left out on much of it because you are not hearing the words you don't know. These slang words are part of English daily life.
I would change the translation of "rubbish" to "baloney" or "worthless claims or comments."
