## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2015-11-24*

Terrible app. Would like my money back..... Unfortunate that 0 stars is not an option.

### 1/5 — I paid two dollars for THIS?!

*2014-04-19*

If you're looking for a translator, this is NOT for you. All this does is record words you've already learned. I'd recommend just writing it all down on a piece of paper.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2013-05-16, version 1.2*

You have to write everything. And if you put something in one language and you write the translation in another language, you can't find the word in the other language than in the original language. I have to input it the same word for every languages that i need it and repeat it for each language

### 1/5 — This is a horrible app

*2012-05-25, version 1.2*

This is a terrible app Plz do not buy you have to BUILD your own dictionary pointless

### 1/5 — NOT a dictionary.

*2011-08-31*

More like "Make my own useless translation notebook." you cannot write definitions, add diagrams or anything! Totally useless. Another con is that you can only make one "dictionary". You should make an update that allows you to have multiple ones. But to save people's progress, save it as "Dictionary1" or something. And male it more like an ACTUAL DICTIONARY.

### 1/5 — A work in progress

*2011-01-01*

This should be called "Build my One Way Alphabetized Wordlist". For that purpose it is OK. Pros:  your words are automatically alphabetized. Cons:  This only takes place in one direction - you cannot access your translations via a scrolling list, only your original language words.  So you are unable to review or study in reverse.  In fact, as another review noted, you cannot even search using your translation. Also, there is no customization available- every time you make a wordlist entry, you have to scroll down to the language - twice!  For example, cannot set the default to be Japanese words, English translations - you must select this for every entry you make!  Very disappointing.  C'mon guys, this app has so much potential.  At this point, it is woefully underdeveloped.

### 4/5 — Good.

*2010-04-19*

Really good app. It would help a lot if the translations were searchable though.
