As a friendly suggestion, maybe have translations of the definitions of the idioms in other languages. Other than that great resource for teaching and learning English. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-09-27* The app is useful in the sense that it provides the meaning of the phrases, idioms and proverbs. It’s however too basic. It could be interesting to provide info about the origins of the idioms when possible or any contextual or historical info to facilitate understanding. I don’t understand the purpose of the videos; they could be replaced with audio where one can actually hear and learn to enunciate. I am sure that would be useful to non native English speakers. Finally, it a run of the mill app; the user experience could be enhanced. For example once you click on a phrase in the favourites, you cannot go back to the favourites directly. You have to start over and click on the settings to find your way back to the favourites. It would also be interesting to sync favourites across devices. ### 5/5 — Idioms *2021-04-09, version 3.2* Response time quick. Made simple to understand.

Quite dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Ad Free...!!! *2019-01-29* I paid for the ad free version of this app..But the ads are still there...!!! ### 1/5 — In-App Purchase doesn’t work *2017-10-22* There’s an ad-free option in-app purchase. Unfortunately, it does nothing really and does not remove ads. They keep popping up all the time and the app support tells me to talk to Apple about the problem. Great. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2017-10-14, version 1.7* This needs an update ASAP, cause it’s been going on offline mode lot lately, which is annoying. Please fix that issue ASAP. Thanks ### 2/5 — Needs fix *2026-02-13* Impossible to read text. No mechanism to correct background which text is written against. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that. Please send a screenshot to support[at]tfd[dot]com so our development team can take a look. ### 2/5 — Ads do not seem to go away *2024-10-29* To the developer of this application (or to whom it may concern): I paid for a subscription already and yet the ads still show up at the bottom of the screen. Then I made the same subscription purchase , and I got the info on screen: "You already paid for a subscription of thi App. Would you like to have it again for free." Is there any way to get this fixed. Thanx ! **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you just need to restore your ad-free upgrade. If you choose the option to "have it again for free," do the ads go away? If not, please email our Support Team at support[at]tfd[dot]com, so they can investigate further. ### 2/5 — This app only stores 20 past-searched idioms *2020-03-21* I like this app, but it only stores 20 past-searched idioms, so it's so hard to use for futures reference. Hope they improve it so that it can store like 400 past-searched idioms. I'll be definitely willing to pay for it. ### 2/5 — Does not save book marks *2019-06-19* I had tons of Odom’s saved in my bookmarks only to have them disappear when I had to reset my iPhone and reinstall the app. Could you please let us save/back it up to iCloud or Dropbox?? **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience of losing your bookmarks and will pass your feedback on to our development team. ### 2/5 — It's useless, missing a key feature *2017-07-26* You can't browse! You can only search for idioms that you already know. I wanted an app that allowed me to browse through idioms and phrases to learn NEW things, not just to type in phrases I already know about that I want to know the meaning of. I could just use Google for that. This app is useless really. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idiom & Slang *2025-08-19* It's just fantastic. ### 5/5 — Excelent application for those of us that speak English as a foreign language! *2024-10-26* Excelent application for those of us that speak English as a foreign language! ### 5/5 — By far the best idiom dictionary I've used so far *2023-09-20* Sometimes it disconnects itself but other than that, this app is truly a remarkable one.
