### 2/5 — No updating this dictionary within a long time

*2018-09-28, version 4.5*

Please update new words for this dictionary on iPhone X and making full screen on iPhone X, XS Max.

### 2/5 — Khong co Flashcard da saved

*2018-07-01, version 4.5*

App $4.99 khong co flashcard cua cac tu da saved va khong co flashcard cua cac tu can hoc them..!!!!

### 3/5 — Review app

*2018-02-06, version 4.5*

Good app and usefull

### 3/5 — Need an update for iphone X

*2018-01-20, version 4.5*

Iphone X update please

### 4/5 — Latest version

*2017-09-04, version 4.5*

Positive:

1. new interface with better fonts and layout.
2. The list of "recent words" are on its own tab. 
3. Prompt response from technical support. 

Negative:
1. Software is updated without user's knowledge and approval!  
2. The software update erases "notes" data!  This update had cost cost me months of data!

New Suggestion: 
Provide user an ability to:
1. Merge data backed up on computer or iCloud with data on iPhone without overwriting the data saved on the iPhone. 
2. When switching between EV-VE mode, the keyboard should be in the same mode as the selected language. E.g.: if I'm in VE mode, the keyboard should be set to Vietnamese to reduce keystroke for the user. 
3. List user's data entered into the "Notes" tab instead of making the user remember which word s/he had entered.  Ability to search for words entered by date range," intellisense" as text is typed in would be very nice. 

Thank you for allowing me to provide suggestions.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for using our English Vietnamese Dictionary application and spending your precious time giving us many useful feedbacks. Your ideas will help us improve our product better for millions of users. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing with our app.
1) About "Notes" section: We have just had an update with Notes function. Please update the app without deleting the app, so you can still save all your notes from the old version.
2) You have great idea about switching keyword when changing EV-VE mode. However, it is technically impossible. If you know any similar applications, please kindly let us know, so we can investigate it.
3) The idea of home is to introduce good content for users! We will develop the Setting function, so you can optimize your content preference on Search screen. We will have this function in upcoming version.
We really hope that you will continue using this application regularly and keep updated with our new versions. 
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
