Split view

This would be so much better for ipad users if it supported the split screen function

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Split screen view is now available in the latest version.

Widget

Really good app!! But what would be awesome is if it had like a widget for you phone where it gives you a work of the day.I’m working on being trilingual. (Maori, Spanish and english) I’m fluent and Spanish and english and want to learn my reo one helpful way would be if there were a work of the day that you could use throughout the day. Great way to learn vocab!!!

3 bc…..

I rated this app a three because I tried installing the app bc my mum did it and I wanted to join her journey

Frustrated

An awesome resource. The old version and now the new, both a trusty go to.
However, there is no way to contact us, provide feed back, make suggestions, reference why could be an improvement or mistake.
Seems very closed and exclusive. Even “app support” on the App Store does not go anywhere helpful.

Dissappointed

I love the mbl ph app but am dissapointed that I cannot use the dictionary unless I am connected to the internet. Prior to the update and on the older version I was able to use the dictionary off line, but the audio/pronounciation function was unavailable. If I am talking out of line plz direct me on how to use the newer version while being off line

Thanks for your feedback. Offline search is now available from version 5.1 onwards.

No landscape

This was fine the way it was, but since the update you can no longer use offline, and cannot use in landscape for Ipad.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Offline search and landscape view is now available from version 5.1 onwards.

What did I pay for?

I paid for the offline version of this and it’s no longer available.
Other than the fact the app doesn’t restart itself every time you leave it I’m unimpressed with the new version and of course it can’t be used offline anymore.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Offline search is now available from version 5.1 onwards.

Like the revamp but slow to open?

Can’t see any way to contact developers so leaving this…

The revamp looks great but the app seems slower to use. In particular, it takes around 5 seconds from opening for the splash graphic to resolve and the search bar to become active. That’s a little annoying for regular use.

Suggestion

I love this app and use it all the time. I love the new feature that you can save words to a favourites list too, but I wish they could be sorted by alphabetical order - that would make the list so much more useful.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Favourites are now shown in alphabetical order.

Can’t use it offline

I use to use this app offline (no wifi, no data usage), but I’m not able to do that anymore. I could use this app anywhere at anytime, it’s hugely inconvenient that this has changed. Can this function be restored please?

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Offline search is now available from version 5.1 onwards.
