Mysterious but very good

I honestly don’t remember how I got this dictionary, and I can’t tell you much about it. It doesn’t explain anything about itself and it’s very rudimentary, but I have several other online dictionaries and it might be the best. I often find words here that don’t appear in my others and the definitions are clear and concise. The description in the App Store leaves almost every detail connected to this app frustratingly in the dark.

Great service but poorly designed

It’s very nice to have English wiktionary offline, but the app is poorly designed: it’s taken wiktionaries database but ditched its clean interface, uncluttered and elegant, and replaced it with something that looks like it was pulled from a design book on the page that says, “all the things to avoid on a web interface.”

The colour scheme is terrible, it doesn’t format for the particular screen, the bookmark tag covers text, one has to scroll sideways as well as vertically to see the material.

Wiki has already figured all this out: why re-invent a perfectly good wheel? Especially if you’re going to replace it with one with so many bumps?

Love ur app. Wish you could ADD auto-spelling, pronunciation symbols on EVERY word.

Yes, please consider.

Flummoxed

I have made many in-app purchases through the years, but in this app I simply cannot find a way to make the purchases. These are clearly listed, but there does not appear to be a method for buying them. I went to "app support", but there is NO SUPPORT TO BE HAD, no way to actually contact the large, garish website that appears on-screen. Can anyone help, please?

Poor on iOS later & latest versions

1. Only basic functions work.
2. It doesn't rotate.
3. App gets frozen if try to do anything other than very basic functions. I have to delete & reinstall the app so often because this app gets frozen.
