### 2/5 — 之前可以發音，現在不能發音了。

*2026-03-10, version 5.42*

之前可以發音，現在不能發音了。

### 3/5 — 還不錯

*2024-04-16, version 5.42*

*2023-11-03, version 5.42*

新版本例句消失了
我在過去有買過舊版本130元的去除廣告

黑色模式也消失了⋯⋯？？？

### 1/5 — 不好用

*2023-11-03, version 5.42*

某些詞的意思不完整，建議下載別款

### 5/5 — My No.1 app for my whole academic career as English learner

*2023-09-26*

Since I was in middle school in HK with iPhone 4, I have relied on this app as the No. 1 go-to source for English translation to Chinese. The Chinese translation is always very concise and easy to comprehend.

Now as I’m learning Swift, I appreciate the developer, Kelvin, for going thru the horror of Obj-C and UIKit to developing this app and maintaining it on the App Store throughout the years (10 years+). His work has allowed Chinese students like me to master English more effectively since the app’s launch 10+ years ago. 

Thank you Kelvin!

### 5/5 — 希望新增功能

*2020-07-29, version 5.31*

已經查詢過的字詞能加入書籤，加入書籤後的字詞，如果能直接增加發音功能，不用一直點進去才能點擊發音，那對查詢跟背單字來說就能大大提升效率跟效果，希望作者能幫幫忙，謝謝

### 5/5 — Dark mode

*2020-06-05, version 5.31*

Dark mode only runs on the search page and it turns back to light mode whatever i tap next to. Quick fix on font color issue, great work.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2020-06-03, version 5.3*
