User reviews

不好用

词义都是乱的,点这个进入的是另一个词,例子啥的不一定有

No synonyms

I wish this dictionary had synonyms but it has not.

Better than most if not all

Simplicity is its superiority. Very nicely designed. It is user friendly and rich in content. I have happily had a printed version for many years. This is a great compliment.

例句太少,有离线单词发音,没有广告

我看collins classics的一本小说看最后的词汇表,以为有很多名著里的例句,下载了才发现没有,可是又没有试用期,花了15元。

安装之后就有离线语音了,也没有广告,这两点物超所值。
