I love your app so much please do this. ### 3/5 — WAS EXCELLENT, NOW BOMBARDS WITH LOUD ADS. *2026-06-08, version 13.0.1* This has been an enormously useful, easy to use multi-language dictionary for years. BUT I’m about to give it up: now nearly each time I look up a word, a pop-up video with loud music takes over my screen— the type that runs a while before you can click out of it. Too much of a burden and irritation. If this behavior doesn’t end in a week or two , I’ll delete it. Will write another review either way. ### 3/5 — Dark mode?! *2026-05-18, version 13.0.1* 2026 and no dark mode. should I go blind every time I go to your app…..? ### 4/5 — Phenomenal Dictionary *2026-02-19, version 12.14.22* Everything you need. Brief definition, genuine definition, IOS Dictionary. Plus, you can add a vast plethora of other Dictionary-type tabs (Thesaurus, Google Translate, and Synonyms) at the top for every word all in one dictionary! Really helps to download the app and explore all the options, cause they are abundant! Honor to the Developer, cause this is a grrreat app! ### 3/5 — Good but bugs *2026-01-20, version 12.14.22* Images on flashcards do not load ### 5/5 — Avis *2026-01-07* The best dictionary I’ve ever use on phone ### 5/5 — Good company *2025-09-18, version 12.14.22* I find that this distinction is really reliable for me and it contains lots of features. This helps me to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation ### 5/5 — Excellent Dictionary *2025-07-24, version 12.14.22* Very user friendly. ### 5/5 — I use this app all the time. *2025-07-21, version 12.14.22* Its very helpful ### 5/5 — Best Russian English dictionary *2025-07-16, version 12.14.22* I have tried several dictionaries but this one is the best. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-07-05, version 12.14.22* This is the best dictionary I've ever seen! I've been using it daily for over a decade, and it continues to impress me. It's fast, clean, and incredibly user-friendly. Kudos to the developer for an outstanding job! I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable dictionary. ### 5/5 — Words *2025-06-11, version 12.14.22* surreptitiously ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The worst translation app ever! *2026-08-05, version 13.0.1* The worst translation app ever! I bought the lifetime subscription mainly because it showed photos for every word I wanted to learn. However, over time, the photo feature stopped working. Now it either doesn’t load any images or shows tiny, blurry, low-quality pictures that can’t even be changed. A clear, meaningful picture makes it much easier to remember the meaning of a new word, so this feature was one of the main reasons I paid for the lifetime subscription. ### 1/5 — The worst translation app ever! *2026-07-18, version 13.0.1* The worst translation app ever!

Very annoying ### 1/5 — Problem downloading dictionaries *2026-05-07, version 12.14.22* Every time I try to download a dictionary, I get this message: Error Unable to connect to the server. Please check your internet connection. I'm fed up! What's the solution? ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-09-02, version 12.14.22* Lies, lies and more lies. And lies on top of lies. You never find the definition of why you’re looking for. It just lists synonyms and then you get confused and have to search the meaning of those synonyms.👎🏾 ### 1/5 — Photos are not available *2025-08-09, version 12.14.22* The beginning when I bought this up because I like that day, Translate plus they gave you a picture to make you remember, but it’s been one to three years that whenever I translate the picture are not available so I regret buying this app ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-08-01, version 12.14.22* Pay to have dictionary trusted. ### 1/5 — الاعلانات *2025-05-29, version 12.14.22* الاعلانات في التطبيق مزعجة جداً على الرغم من ظهورها في اسفل الشاشة، لكنها لتطبيقات بذيئة 😷😣 ### 1/5 — Iraq *2025-05-23, version 12.14.22* Why there’s no dark mode my eyes is burning ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-06-16, version 12.14.22* Deleting app now….. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazingly customizable *2026-08-11, version 13.0.1* Go-to dictionary for me: minimum adds, easy and plentiful definitions, synonyms, and more. Connects with wiktionary and has downloadable etymology and other language dictionaries! And it works offline. Biggest gripe is that the starring system is not great with how bad the flash cards are, but everything else is spectacular. ### 5/5 — Problem downloading dictionaries *2026-07-26, version 13.0.1* Every time I try to download a dictionary, I get this message: Error Unable to connect to the server. Please check your internet connection. I'm fed up! What's the solution? ### 5/5 — Best Dictionary *2026-05-30* Finally a dictionary app worth buying. Free version is good enough but the trial showed that it’s worth investing some money. I’ll buy the one time purchase. Now I can remove all those ad-ridden garbage dictionary apps. Dict Box does it better. ### 5/5 — Faz *2026-05-25, version 13.0.1* Doing marvelous job 👍👍 ### 5/5 — À propos de ce dictionnaire *2026-05-22* Ça fonctionne très bien et ça me donne toutes les informations dont j’ai besoin ### 5/5 — 🚀 *2026-04-24* 💥💥💥 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-23, version 12.14.22* Very useful ### 5/5 — The Best Free Dictionary App *2026-03-11, version 12.14.22* This is one of the best free dictionary apps I have used. It is very easy to use, fast, and works offline. I like that it provides clear definitions and helpful examples. It is very useful for people who are learning English and want to improve their vocabulary. I really appreciate the developers for making such a helpful app. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Best dictionary *2026-01-11, version 12.14.22* I guess this is the best dictionary in App Store the only dictionary that it’s missing are phrases and idioms which I hope they add in future. ### 5/5 — BEST app *2026-01-07, version 12.14.22* The BEST app for translating. I’ve been using it since arriving to the USA, 10 years ago. Definitely, help me grow my vocabulary. It has an option to save word for letter learning, note to add to the words like a sentence to encounter the word. It also has an option to stars words as your favorite. It is my go to when it’s coming to translation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
