Great app. But it lacks some features
When you want to learn a language it has to be learned in a way as if you are speaking as a man or woman. This lacks that ability. However, it’s a good app.
Links don’t work
Please fix the problem with the links. You press on a word for retranslate and a complete different one appears. It could be a good app. Now I wasted the money because like this it’s useless :(
Does not play well with Duolingo
I am trying to learn Hebrew with Duolingo, and thought this would be a nice companion program. I could use the flash cards feature to help me review vocabulary, look up the roots of vocabulary words to help me understand them better, etc.
However, there are quite a few words that are just missing. For example, נשים, the Hebrew word for women is strangely absent. ״נשים מוכות״ (battered wives) is there. נשיות (feminine) is there, but not נשים.
These aren’t esoteric words, but common vocabulary words. Heck, by definition basic vocabulary words.
Other vocabulary words don’t seem to agree with Duolingo. I can’t say that Duolingo is the prime source of vocabulary meanings, but my wife who is a native Hebrew speaker tends to side with Duolingo when there is a dispute.
You use a language dictionary when you don’t know the language, and the dictionary has to be 100% trustworthy. Otherwise, you find yourself literally in a Monty Python sketch.

Love the paid version.
Very helpful with my other language studies. Thank you.
Wrong links
When I look up an English word in Hebrew correct translations come up but when the Hebrew word is tapped you are taken to a different word completely often a totally unrelated word. This does not happen with other apps by the same authors.
