### 1/5 — Bad planning on your part.

*2013-02-18*

Was there a good reason to make this app incompatible with original iPads? It's a dictionary!

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2012-04-05*

I purchased this thinking it would be handy. I was wrong. But the money went somewhere...

### 3/5 — In dire need of improvement.

*2012-03-08*

If this app was free, that would be another story, but for the asking price there should really be more words and better definitions. Often times the Wikipedia article will be non-existent. There are weird gaps like having "pile of wooden objects" but not "wood." "Daily rate" but not "day." And no way to search Esperanto words in order to figure out roots. The grammar reference is also lacking, with no pronouns, prepositions, or conjunctions. Basic words like for and do are missing. Often times using this app I have to go to google translate to find out super basic words.

There's also barely any definitions to help tell the difference between words that are spelled the same in English but not Esperanto.

### 3/5 — Crashes when you return to a search

*2011-11-01*

If you click on a search word then try to return to the search, it often crashes. Otherwise it's pretty good.

### 4/5 — Dankon!

*2011-06-15*

Tre utila programo - dankon!

Very useful app - thanks!

### 3/5 — Great start, but lacking

*2011-05-09*

This is a great way to search English words to find Esperanto words or to browse Esperanto words to find English words.  But I don't understand why you CANNOT search Esperanto words (even if you has to us "x" notation) or browse English words.

### 5/5 — Closest thing to a Esperanto dictionary

*2011-03-29*

Thru its Internet link to Wikipedia, this is the only current app that can act as an Esperanto language dictionary. And since it's Wikipedia, you can edit it, too.

### 2/5 — Not for children

*2010-10-30*

1. Connection difficulties in connecting to wikipedia. 

2. Some of the wiki images borders on porn.  Parents please use caution when children use this app.

### 5/5 — Tre utila!!

*2010-09-20*

Very useful with a large database of words. Would be the ultimate if it included a way to search for Esperanto words like one can the English (right now, you have to scroll to find the Eo word you're looking for - a downside of that large database!).

### 5/5 — Ple bona.

*2010-04-05*

Very good application.  It was very useful in expanding my vocabulary in Esperanto, especially considering how other dictionaries have stacked up
