Really good!

I made a dictionary and it currently has 84 words on it.

Awesome!

As a conlanger, this is awesome! I’m buying premium Right Now! This is so good for making conlangs and if you do not know what a conlang is it is a constricted language. You can also use it to study languages, might do that In the future, Bye!

The free version is very useful!

⚠️⚠️⚠️WARNING: This is a very lengthy review

Hello, developer! I have been using this app for my made-up language (please don’t judge 😅) This has been a good way to document my words so that I can find them easier. There are many sorting options for the words, and I think it’d be great for people who’d like to learn a second language 😊 This is great for both nerds like me, and people who need to learn a language!

I love it!

This app is very handy to make conlangs (constructed languages)! I have been making my conlang, and I keep forgetting the words that I make. This app helps me remember the words that I have! If you want to make a language or you’re just a nerd, you should get this app! Any nerdy nerds out there should make their own little or big language from the ground up! woohoo!

Worthless

The only thing this app lets you do without trying to make you pay for an app, that literally seems free in the App Store is create a dictionary title!!!! You cannot even create one entry without it wanting you to pay $3.99 for usage of the app! So, don’t waste your time…. Find a better app.
