What a con
The description implies that the app is free, with paid-for extras, but it is impossible to do anything with the app without spending several tens of pounds. App deleted.
Buggy
Don’t bother enabling the copy from clipboard feature. It doesn’t even work.
My default dictionary app 👌🏼love love love it heart
It’s a must have for ESL students! I hope they continue to update and keep this app because it’s fantastic and a game changer for me personally.
Very good application
I have been using this app (German vocabulary book) for 18 months. I like it because it is easy to use and also useful. It is also good, that I can mark some words and change size or color of words .
Love the content, wish the search was better
I use this app a ton.
I especially like using it to search multiple dictionaries for example sentences. Sometimes when I’m working on understanding not just a word but a phrase or piece of grammar, it is really useful to punch in a short part of the phrase and use the example search mode so I can see how it is used in sentences. I’ve bought way more dictionaries than I would need for just looking up words, so that I have lots of example sentences to look at.
The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is sometimes the search is difficult to use and the latest app update made it even harder. In a game I am playing I encountered the phrase 私としたことが…とんだ失態だ… I wasn’t familiar with 私としたことが so I tried searching examples for としたことが. Only one result came up, and I checked all 3 types (starts with, ends with, equals) to be sure. This is cumbersome, by the way! I used to check all three by mashing the button, but now I have to tap into the menu and then select the search mode one at a time. Then, I changed my search to 私としたことが. Suddenly, there were lots of example results! Why did I have to type something more specific to get more results? I am sure it is something to do with the way the sentences are tokenized but as a user it is very unpredictable.
Similarly I often do not know if searching “starts with” or “ends with” is more likely to turn up results for the phrase I am searching, so I just want to search all at once but can’t, and now those options are buried in a menu making it even more difficult to quickly check. Please improve the search feature, I have spent a lot on dictionaries and I don’t regret it but I truly wish it was easier to use the search function. お願いします🙏
