Das ist schon mal sehr wichtig. Leider fehlen wichtige Einstellungen, z.B ist die Schriftgröße auf dem ipad pro zu kein und die App funktioniert hier nur im Hochformat. Es wäre auch wünschenswert, wenn man optional alle Hörbeispiele herunterladen könnte. Das würde die Benutzung beschleunigen. ### 3/5 — The ver table doesn’t work! *2024-10-11, version 1.50* The ver table doesn’t work! ### 3/5 — Slow *2023-07-30, version 1.50* It becomes very slow in this updated version. I miss the old one…. ### 2/5 — Verb table doesn’t load *2022-11-13, version 1.48* It’s a pity that the verb table doesn’t load. Same error message for all verbs. ### 3/5 — New Upgrade issue *2022-07-11, version 1.46* I love this app and highly recommend it for everyone!!! I’ve been using it for couple of years and it’s just delightful. One year ago I purchased it with no regrets. However after recent upgrade the app works very slow and sometimes even can’t find common using words. Hopefully this issue can be fixed. The reason I gave 3 stars now is because of app’s bug. But previous version is definitely 10 out of 5, and hopefully corrected one will be as great as previous. ### 4/5 — Offline mode *2022-05-26, version 1.43* After the major update, it has become impossible to use the offline mode. Please add this feature. Everything else is great! Thank you for the app. ### 2/5 — Slowly for the update system *2022-05-16, version 1.42* Recently I have had updated version, it’s very slowly, I am not recommended this new version. ### 3/5 — Words lost after the update of the dictionary *2022-05-09, version 1.42* I cannot find the emails or any contact of the app developers so I have to come here to provide my question. I have used the dictionary on a daily basis for a long time. I haven’t got any too bad experiences with using it. But I found that the app has been updated to a newer version automatically when I started the app this morning. Then I checked the words/phrases that I added to “my favorite” and found nothing is there. It took me over one year to accumulate the words, but now they are all gone. I wonder do you have some ways to retrieve the words? I am looking forward to hearing back from you as soon as possible. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Long man Dictionary *2022-01-09, version 1.40* To some extent is excellent ! ### 4/5 — Great but online *2021-11-04, version 1.40* Great app but it is online doesn’t work while we are out of data service! ### 3/5 — Easy to understand but has bugs on the display *2021-11-03, version 1.40* Actually the dictionary is good and has clear explain and decided to buy premium but I notice since last month there is bugs on displaying the meaning so i can’t see the full text from the meaning on screen Please developer fix the display issues ### 4/5 — Very good *2021-10-19, version 1.40* I don’t want to purchase the premium version. Please don’t send me the suggestion to buy the premium version. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake dictionary. 注意 *2025-10-15, version 1.51* Totally pirated junk. 海賊版です。 ### 1/5 — Where's the Offline Mode? *2022-07-24, version 1.46* I've been using this dict for several years. It's been working fine. Since the latest updates, there's no offline mode and super slow. The developer has another app called LMDict, it works great as the old version of this app but without offline mode. If the LMDict has the Offline Mode, it would be the best app for American English learners. ### 1/5 — Best turns worst *2022-06-01, version 1.43* It used to be best dictionary I have ever used. After being updated a few weeks ago, the best dictionary seemed to turn worst. It takes forever to load the definition even you are on strong Wi-Fi at home. It pisses me a lot and I will definitely stop using and uninstall it provided this issue is handled. ### 1/5 — The worst update! *2022-05-19, version 1.42* I upadated this app and now it’s too slow! Please fix it. It’s unusable with this new update. ### 1/5 — Lasy *2022-05-10, version 1.42* This new version is absolutely slowly. Please, correct this. ### 1/5 — Perfect *2022-04-13, version 1.40* Very comfortable ### 1/5 — I paid for download and it doesn’t work off line *2022-02-09, version 1.40* I paid for download. The charge ran on my credit card. I keep click in download and it doesn’t work. I says it is downloaded but every time i am off line i request me to go back on line to see a definition. When I click off line, it wants me to charge again. Then I uninstalled the app and download it again. Now it is asking me again to pay. It even says i did not pay. Yet my back card has the charge. No email to write this company. I am very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2022-02-05, version 1.40* When are you going to fix it? Only thing I can see it’s just white screen ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-05-12, version 1.40* It doesn’t load data. ### 1/5 — easy to read, simpler and intelligible *2021-02-12, version 1.40* top-notch dictionary of Longman 6, it does not offer bang for your buck and audio is not supported and i cant use it offline although i have already bought it. Please refund me ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Question *2023-12-17, version 1.50* I have been using longman dictionary for many years , but after i updated my phone it’s not working anymore , but now i bought this version but hiw can i used offline? ### 5/5 — I like the app *2023-10-24, version 1.50* Thank you for this great free app ### 5/5 — Most thorough *2023-07-21, version 1.50* Best dictionary ever.
