Essential Tool

I use this all the time for German and Spanish. I wish it supported Turkish. I find the text / in use examples very helpful. On my Mac M1 air it seems to crash a bit too much and has problems with Chrome which I cannot fix. But apart from that it is the best dictionary on the net

Constant freezing

Have used the app for about a year and a half. Really helpful and appreciate the pronunciation but the constant freezing is EXTREMELY aggravating
