### 3/5 — Very useful but audio has issues

*2016-05-21, version 4.9*

It is useful but the database is limited compared to full dictionary apps. Sometimes the audio don’t work after IOS upgrade - the developer doesn’t update regularly which is big letdown

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2015-11-27, version 4.9*

This is a very useful app. May not be for everybody but useful non the less

### 4/5 — add more built in dictionaries

*2015-11-26, version 4.8*

please add more built in dictionaries...

### 4/5 — Love this app/please fix google

*2012-04-06, version 4.5*

There is only one issue please fix. My google translator stop working all of the sudden. Before I can type a sentence and get translation for any languages but now it does not do anything. Please help! Besides that this app is a must have. This is one of the best app out there and it have so much content! Talk about a lots of bang for a buck!

### 3/5 — Male real voice needs to be added.

*2010-06-15, version 0*

If real male voice is added then I will give 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2009-12-10, version 0*

Pros: Everything in this application is very useful, instructive and easy to use. The cost is very cheap for this quality and quantity of contents. You don't even have to be connected to the network to see definitions. 
Cons: very low quality on voice speechs.

### 4/5 — Very good. Amazing deal for .99

*2009-11-18, version 0*

Cons: poor voice quality

### 3/5 — Wow

*2009-09-12, version 0*

I would just like to say for .99c it is a steal.

### 4/5 — Great App!!!

*2009-08-22, version 0*

This is really nice! Very handy!

### 2/5 — bad voice

*2009-07-26, version 0*

everything is good except the voice, it so scary, it would be better if it was the lady voice

### 3/5 — Multifunctional app

*2009-06-27, version 0*

Well thoughtout program.  I do like the ability to translate the word searched.  However, under the Search, there is only limitted language available.  I like to see more, ie Vietnamese...Also, under the Google direct translation, it would be better if one can change the font size...currently, it's too small to read.  Otherwise, this would be a 5 STAR!!!!

### 3/5 — Two issues...

*2009-04-19, version 0*

1) you need to be able to turn word of the day off. It gets annoying ending up looking at word of the day on accident. 

2) you need to change the name or something because right now it doesn't fit under the icon.

### 1/5 — I want my dollar back

*2021-07-05, version 4.9*

Barely functional

### 1/5 — Gets less useful with every upgrade.

*2016-07-27, version 4.9*

Now - NO pronunciation. The button is there but audio is random and sooo  infrequent.

### 1/5 — Weak

*2015-11-22, version 4.8*

Finally I could download the app. I tested it and well am not very impressed. First of all, it does not support landscape mode on iPad and iPhone 6 Plus. It has poor library of dictionaries comparing to Dict-Box and other StarDict based applications where 100s of dictionaries could be added.

### 1/5 — Please Fix It!

*2012-02-14, version 4.5*

I finally have something I need to translate quickly and for more than just fun, and the app fails me.  It does not display the interpreted text, nothing.

### 1/5 — Translator doesn't work at all!!!

*2012-02-02, version 4.5*

Like the tittle says, the translator hasn't work in the last few months. I tried insistently, even deleted and reinstalled app, but no results. Used to be a decent app.

### 1/5 — Speaking attribute does not work after update

*2010-02-09, version 0*

The title of this app is "Speaking dictionary". Does not work after update. Beware!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2010-02-04, version 0*

Can't use it after updating.

### 1/5 — disappointed

*2010-01-21, version 0*

it doesn't speak at all. Waste of money

### 1/5 — F

*2010-01-01, version 0*

### 5/5 — Best offline etymology dictionary

*2019-07-30, version 4.9*

This app provides an offline version of Etymonline the online etymology dictionary

### 5/5 — I am rating Dictionary v. 3.7 not 4.x

*2013-11-18, version 4.7*

I just learned to love this talking dictionary! But... The new version (4.x) is not as good. The 3.7 version is just friendlier and easier to use. Each word has a pronouncation next to it which helps learn and find the right word. PLEASE STOP automatic updating. Please?!

### 5/5 — No Need to Spend More!

*2010-08-25, version 0*

Combines a lot of online services- translation, thesaurus, usage, origin.. And the speech part works great! Want to know how to pronounce the word just click the speaker icon! This is awesome! Spanish translations, and a very smooth and fast interface! Get this fully functional and capable app at a fraction of the price as those other big guys.

### 5/5 — Is not running!!!!

*2010-02-25, version 0*

This application don't run after the last update.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2009-12-17, version 0*

I liked this app before the new features, but now I REALLY like it.  In addition to my own love of words, I tutor middle school kids who love to use this app to look up definitions.  That always leads to further discussion on nuances of a word, proper pronounciations (which we can now hear), etc. The easy links to synonyms, etc. gives me even greater opportunities to help expand their vocabulary.  The price is right at double the cost!!

### 5/5 — For a one dollar!!!!

*2009-09-04, version 0*

Its really details dictionary  for this money. Nice work guys

### 5/5 — Awesome tool

*2009-05-05, version 0*

### 5/5 — Very good!!!

*2009-05-01, version 0*

Everything is perfect in this dictionary!!! 
Im very happy of this app, it really worth more than $.99

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!!

*2009-03-16, version 0*

Does the job. Lots of options. Lots of words definitions. UI It's great. Can't complain.

### 5/5 — Best dictionary that speaks!

*2009-02-01, version 0*

At this price, you cannot go wrong!  Great app.  Everyone should have this dictionary.
