### 3/5 — Why is the app out of work?

*2025-01-04, version 1.0.144*

Loved it but for the last week it’s completely dead, not working at all

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2025-01-02*

Among other design issues, being buggy, and slow, it stopped working a few days ago an pops up an error saying there is no internet connection which is absurd!

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the challenges you’ve faced with our app. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been able to resolve the issues and improve the overall experience. We appreciate your help in making the app better!

### 2/5 — No sound for words

*2024-11-16, version 1.0.144*

There’s no any sound/pronunciation for the words when I click to sound icon. I get an error that says check your phone to make sure your phone is not silent😅

### 3/5 — So many bugs

*2024-11-14*

Cons: There are so many bugs, and the app is hard to use. It’s too slow.
Pros: The UI is beautiful.

### 3/5 — Word list

*2024-09-15, version 1.0.144*

I like this app, especially the word list. However, when I try to see my vocabulary in the word list, it suddenly starts to say my word list is empty or an internet error. I feel desperate as there are thousands of words in total in my word list. I tried to download the app again or log in again but it still doesn’t work. I’m upset about it. I hope this will be fixed soon.

### 2/5 — Audio

*2024-05-09*

In the application I cannot have the audio when I want to hear how the pronunciation of a word or phrase is

### 4/5 — Suggestion for exporting

*2023-10-02, version 1.0.135*

Really hope to have the examples of usage as well when we export our word list. Will be incredibly helpful

### 3/5 — Not as good as the website version

*2023-09-13*

Cannot select any words by touch onto it and get explanations. On the website I can select any words in the marginal notes or other places. I have to say  it's not convenient for a English learner.

### 4/5 — Very helpful but...

*2023-08-22, version 1.0.135*

I would like to express my appreciation for the effort that has been put into creating the app. However, I would like to offer some constructive feedback regarding its usability.

While using the interface, I've noticed that the user experience could be enhanced with some improvements. One aspect that particularly stands out is the font size. Currently, the font size seems to be fixed, which can make it challenging for some users, including myself, to comfortably read the content.

Therefore, I kindly request if it would be possible to implement a feature that allows users to adjust the font size according to their preferences. This small addition would greatly improve the accessibility and overall usability of the interface, catering to a wider range of users.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I understand that development resources may be limited, but if it's feasible to make such a change, it would undoubtedly enhance the experience for many users like me.

Once again, I appreciate the work that has gone into the app and your willingness to consider user feedback. Looking forward to any updates that might come in the future.

Best wishes,
Ivan

### 1/5 — There is no sound

*2023-08-01, version 1.0.134*

The web version has sound for the pronunciation, but the paid App NO SOUND at all for the pronunciation. I don’t know why and it made me frustrated. Please noted my phone is working very well and all other apps have sound. May I get refund?

### 2/5 — problem with log in

*2023-07-28, version 1.0.134*

I created an account in the application. My application crushed and I could not be log in at it again.

### 2/5 — Cannot sign up with Google

*2023-07-15, version 1.0.131*

Hi, just downloaded but cannot sign up with Google. Schema failure after I sign in with my account.

### 4/5 — Would almost be a legendary vocabulary app

*2023-06-15*

Add the ability to flip the definitions and the terms in the flashcards. 

To improve this app, I reccomend having tools like Quizlet; they have a matching game and learn feature.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I have passed on your feedback to our product team. Thank you, Nabila (Cambridge Dictionary +Plus)

### 2/5 — Bad choice for French

*2023-06-14, version 1.0.131*

The definition of a noun doesn’t even have the gender. And worse, there are no examples.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2023-06-12, version 1.0.131*

Schema validation failed

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-03-01, version 1.0.144*

This app has become terrible. It was fantastic, which is such a terrible shame. It’s almost like the developers don’t actually use the app, and use it for long, they wouldn’t have to in order to figure out all the terrible glitches that have developed in the app if late.

### 1/5 — Word Search function not working

*2025-01-04, version 1.0.144*

Word search function not working , this app not working. Fix it!!!

### 1/5 — Broken links

*2024-06-23, version 1.0.140*

It's impossible to sign up by using any of the options given. One is still prompted to enter email and password. Deleted

A year on same problem. Cancelled subscription as the dictionary doesn't contain some more erudite words. One can easily use the internet to look things up, so there's no much point in downloading this app.

### 1/5 — No Sound at all

*2024-03-19*

There was no sound in this dictionary. Without internet, it wont work too. It is such a huge disadvantage!!! So disappointed with this app!

### 1/5 — Can’t control cookies

*2023-10-31, version 1.0.135*

Booo

### 1/5 — Such big group, such a terrible app

*2023-10-19, version 1.0.135*

It's very difficult to imagine in any perspective a group like Cambridge will make an app in such poor performance, slow, poor interface, un-adjustable font size. I hope they didn't spend a penny on this app, otherwise...

### 1/5 — Error

*2023-10-10, version 1.0.135*

Attempted many times to download and re-download the app due to unconnected Wi-Fi but still doesn't work.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2023-09-28, version 1.0.135*

Can you just fix?

### 1/5 — Audio issue

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.135*

Audio plays only when phone is not on silent mode

### 1/5 — No ads subscription

*2023-09-02, version 1.0.135*

Hi
I paid for no ads subscription. The ads still exist and the app doesn't show that I have a subscription

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-05-10, version 1.0.131*

This is such a good app. Contrary to other dictionaries that charge an arm and a leg to access their features, this app has a very decent price and the content seems very thorough. I really enjoy using this app.

### 5/5 — Really good dictionary to learn advanced language

*2023-04-05, version 1.0.125*

Have been using it for a year now and really enjoyed the experience.
Few notes for developers:
- It would be nice to remove trailing spaces for search term when searching for a word (especially useful for copy-pasted words)
- Having some sign on a word card telling that a word is already in some of user’s dictionaries would save me from regularly trying to re-add word

### 5/5 — Astonishing app.

*2022-11-23, version 1.0.114*

I have always used translation and dictionary apps to increase my knowledge on vocabulary and I did this by making sure that I know the words that I didn’t understand or know. I have used google translate, dictionary.com and many other apps and sometimes I don’t understand the definitions of those words in these apps and this app is nothing but extraordinary, it have explained to me words that I don’t know in a very simple and easy way.
I am very satisfied and intrigued by the amazement and fabulousness that this app provides.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-05-10*

Word definitions are clear and examples provide contexts where words may be used

**Developer response:** Thank you, we are so pleased you are enjoying the app.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work sound in silent mode

*2024-01-28, version 1.0.140*

Overall interesting app and useful, however I use my phone every time in silent mode and doesn’t work sound of word when I press on a bottom, could you allow sound in the app in silent mode?
