### 3/5 — Good app but it crashes down

*2024-11-01, version 1.1*

It usually crashes down while I type

### 4/5 — great app

*2023-07-06, version 1.1*

please make vocab cards free

### 5/5 — Clean

*2023-06-01*

Very clean UX. Been curious about this dev’s work. Good stuff!

### 3/5 — Good app but needs improvement

*2022-12-28, version 1.1*

It’s a good app but it crashes down especially when I type the words fast. The keyboard would just hide by itself whenever I’m typing something on the app. I really hope it gets fixed

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-09-24, version 1.1*

Love this dictionary and the  fact it’s offline. Only critique is that some stuff you have to pay for but overall love it.

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2022-07-31*

Very nice and simple app, there is one issue with searching in Hangul where trying to type a sentence will start a search after a character without hitting enter. This means searching can be very difficult :(

### 5/5 — Not sure how this only has one review

*2021-12-28, version 1.1*

I’m a Japanese speaker as well and don’t know much Korean yet but this app is as good as or better than any offline dictionary I’ve used for either language so gotta get it out there. Thanks for the hard work!
