I haven’t used it that much, so I’m not entirely sure. But it would be a lot nicer to use if it had a background other than dirty yellow. Adding a feature that lets you change the background would make it a lot nicer to use and bring it up to five stars. ### 4/5 — Strong App *2022-07-28* Strong and useful app. I think it would be useful if the entry field allowed wildcards. ### 4/5 — More games *2022-03-04* I would like it if it had more games on it ### 3/5 — A Kind Critic *2022-02-06, version 5.3* The app is extremely useful but at the same time has unnecessary awkwardness of use. The search feature provides too small a font to initiate an inquiry that one would need a magnifying glass to check for an accidental incorrect spelling. It also needs a quick edit option to clear out previous words and start a new search. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Rosy2021 *2021-08-10, version 5.3* The letters when typed in the Search should be bigger so that it would be easier for short-sighted ones who has to find a lot of new words :-)) ### 3/5 — Synonym and antonym increase *2021-07-29, version 5.3* Synonym and antonym should be shown separately by for each words ### 4/5 — Good app with offline access ❤️ *2021-07-08, version 5.3* Good app with offline access ❤️ ### 4/5 — Amazing Dictionary *2021-07-01, version 5.3* It has been a very useful app for me. Very easy to search and find. You can find more than one meaning for every words and relevant words are available. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-02-07* Thank you so much for voice message dictionary. ### 5/5 — A simple, legit app. *2021-02-06* finally just a simple dictionary that works without 1400 ads all over. ### 3/5 — Search History *2021-01-02, version 5.3* Please include an option to clear search history in your next update. ### 5/5 — Lake of synonyms *2020-11-20, version 5.3* Please add more synonyms for every word ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The bad and useless app *2020-03-18, version 5.3* I would rate this 0.1 because #1 . It would not let meh scroll the screen’s keyboard. #2 . I type a word , and I get “ no definitions for this word “. #3 . If I put the letter “C” , and then I type —— , it give me a totally different word. ### 1/5 — Voice *2018-07-08* How voice works for pronoucing words ? ### 1/5 — Dictionary *2017-10-31* Please update so this app can work with OS11 as it is now unusable ### 1/5 — Nothing. *2015-07-06* Doesn't work. Blank page. Ads are annoying. ### 1/5 — It wont load *2014-02-13* It says its loading, i cant delete it from loading!!! ### 2/5 — No premium version *2023-11-05* In the settings, there is a button to buy a premium app, so there is no ads. The button does not work. Maybe I’m different, but I don’t like free with ads. I am more than willing to pay for an app so that I get the experience that I want and not bombarded by ads that have no meaning to me, and only interrupt my experience. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for bringing the issue with the premium app purchase button to our attention. We're grateful for your willingness to support our app and share your preference for an ad-free experience. We're currently rolling out a new version that addresses this bug, and we're also working diligently to elevate the app to a new level following recent changes in our development team. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're looking forward to presenting you with an improved experience very soon. Best regards. ### 2/5 — Ok but cluttered *2015-12-20* It is ok, but too cluttered for my liking. I like "Favourites" and recapping of previous look-ups but not interested in games, cards or other Apps which you can easily find yourself via the App store etc. The Offline facility is always welcome and useful. It should just stick to being a dictionary and cut out the crap. ### 3/5 — Auto correct and pronunciation *2023-01-30* The dictionary is really good. However, there’s room for improvement. 1. Spelling errors happen especially when one can’t really remember how the word is spelt at that moment. It would be nice if the dictionary can bring up suggestions for words after few letters have been typed. If it’s something the user can’t spell correctly but identifies, it would be easier for users. 2. Depending on the demography of your users, would be nice if the app can pronounce certain words in the American or British accent. ### 3/5 — Critique *2022-08-12, version 5.3* The space bar to type in a word search is a bit to thin, and the magnifying glass is also a bit small. On the word definition page is a voice symbol that is on the left side of the word, the voice isn’t very clear in the pronunciation of the looked up word. This is frustrating to hear mispronounced words. ### 3/5 — Make it easier to delet previous word. *2022-05-26, version 5.3* In the Search space, it should have some kind of indicator. When hit the indicator, the previous word can be removed, so you can immediately type new word for searching. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best offline dictionary *2023-07-07* No adds, no sign up, never not had a word I need the definition of and most importantly 100% offline ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-12-06* This is the best online dictionary I ever used Absolutely love it .Very handy. Always comes up with what I need never lags on me everyone who needs it should use it ### 5/5 — Phonetic text aid *2022-11-27, version 5.3* I hope the next version will include a phonetic text aid to enable the reader to understand it perfectly. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-10-31* Would look to register and sign in Bcos this is the best app ever ### 5/5 — The Best *2022-04-13, version 5.3* Though I can’t find certain words on this app , this app has been good to me ### 5/5 — Simple,love it *2022-02-15, version 5.3* No pop up ads just strictly an interactive database perfect ### 5/5 — Like this app *2022-01-14, version 5.3* It is nice and simple interaction ### 5/5 — The best so far *2021-08-14, version 5.3* It has been the best so far... thanks for the words in the dictionary.. we’ll love if more words are added ### 5/5 — Great *2021-04-28* This is a very fun app. It is not inappropriate or has adds that much.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Great dictionary *2021-03-24, version 5.3* Great stuff, this is a really good dictionary if you want one for offline use.
