### 4/5 — Super useful

*2023-02-21, version 1.13*

I need to write in both English and Khmer. This is my first go-to for that. Vastly better than Google translate. There are other more complete resources available but I always try here first. Thanks devs !!!

### 4/5 — Good but a few problems

*2022-04-20, version 1.13*

It is good but doesn’t have what I need they should add more words.

### 4/5 — Good explanation

*2022-02-12, version 1.13*

I use it most of the time.

### 3/5 — They should review about the Khmer

*2021-08-14, version 1.13*

Written there are thousands of mistakes!

### 2/5 — Great for English

*2020-07-11, version 1.13*

Words pronounced in English is great however, in Khmer it is not. Please have an actual person and not a computer translator as this will confuse those who are beginning to learn our language.

### 4/5 — Hor

*2020-01-13, version 1.13*

Hello

### 2/5 — Not good

*2019-10-10, version 1.13*

A lot of wrong meanings, especially those odd words, idiom, a slang term.It’s doesn't mean what they sound.

### 3/5 — Can you

*2019-09-16, version 1.13*

Can you close the app it make me headache

### 3/5 — Excellent content, poor audio

*2018-12-25, version 1.13*

I love that I can find almost any word in this dictionary, especially at times when I don't have access to internet! Feature of finding Khmer words using Roman letters is also very helpful, for words I hear but don't exactly know how to spell in Khmer. Audio function has worked for me only about 2-5% of the time, however, so hopefully that can improve.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-08-30, version 1.13*

Good app

### 4/5 — Awesome Dictionary

*2017-08-07, version 1.13*

I've been having this for almost three years now. I love the way they define and explain with example and covert it to anther part of speech.
Highly recommend for all those who wanted a best easy dictionary.
Big credits to the creator,

### 2/5 — Pronunciations are weird.  Too dragging

*2016-12-10, version 1.9*

Please pronounce normal

### 4/5 — Best

*2016-07-05, version 1.8*

I think that some word not enough meaning

### 3/5 — Want English-Khmer and vice versa

*2016-06-22, version 1.9*

When you look up a word in either language, I'd like to know how to say it in the other language.  Especially with Khmer, there is no correct way to write any word using ABCs.  And learning to read and write in Khmer is much more difficult than learning to speak.  I'd like to look up "run" and have a speaker button that says "run" but in Khmer.  Would be huge and I'd use this app daily.  I live in Cambodia, and when the staff don't know a word, I look it up in English, and then they have to read the translation to me.  Not helpful at all.  Plus, the phrases are direct translations.  "Over the hill" is translated to "on top of hill" and not "too old" like it actually means.  Overall, useful, but a few tweaks and it'd be fantastic and I'd change my review to a 5*.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2016-02-10, version 1.7*

Great app

### 1/5 — Misleading translation

*2021-11-16*

The English-Khmer is bad and worst with two words together. It is wrong order, meaning less and misleads to new Khmer speakers. The developers don’t understand Khmer properly , especially with grammar.

English-English is good. M

Thanks

### 1/5 — Bad and good

*2020-06-24, version 1.13*

So many mistakes that have happened in Khmer language, wrong meaning and translation. Please correct all the problems.

### 1/5 — This is awesome

*2019-05-08, version 1.13*

Thanks for your help and I will love it 👍

### 1/5 — No

*2018-07-02, version 1.13*

Yes, there are a lot of words but some words are not well translated, not precisely enough like the word « cambodian » for example which is translated by « a person who is in Cambodia » instead of « khmer » directly (and it is the same for all nationalities). Some words are completely wrong, for example, « stereotype » which is translated by « society » in khmer. 
Maybe you can use this app for a makeshift knowledge but I really don’t recommend it for a real comprehension of khmer language.

### 1/5 — Essentially Useless for Learning

*2016-10-24, version 1.9*

They need to connect the English word to the Khmer word before this app will be beneficial to anyone trying to learn...

### 1/5 — Phát âm tiếng Khmer

*2015-11-13, version 1.5*

Phần phát âm chưa đúng; cần cải thiện nhiều hơn. Cám ơn!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2015-08-07, version 1.4*

There is a speaker icon but no sound is produced when I click on it.

### 1/5 — I can't understand anything

*2015-07-03, version 1.1*

I'm a Cambodian and that doesn't sound like Khmer.

### 1/5 — No connection between Enoch and Khmer

*2015-04-22, version 1.1*

This is just an english-english and Khmer-Khmer dictionary packed into one app. For example, If you want to find out how to say "car" in Khmer, you type in "car" in the english dictionary and it tells you the definition of car in english, and you can have it pronounce out loud "car" in english. That is completely useless for wanting to know how to say "car" in Khmer. There are no connections between english and Khmer.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2015-04-05, version 1.0*

Any Cambodian whose reading and writing fluently in Khmer knows this app has made a lot of mistakes in pronunciation. Wrong words meaning and more...
