### 4/5 — Good dictionary

*2014-08-27, version 1.9*

While lacking online features, this dictionary has had most of the words I have searched for.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2014-06-04, version 1.8*

It's great and helpful

### 5/5 — Thanks so much!

*2014-03-14, version 1.8*

감사합니다!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2014-02-27, version 1.8*

Very useful! Searches English or Korean. A must-have Korean app!!

My only suggestion is that, when searching in the "Romanized" spelling, the results are returned alphabetically in Korean - not alphabetically in the Roman. That makes further research a little more time consuming.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2013-10-22, version 1.8*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Very good.

*2013-10-22, version 1.8*

Very good.

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-09-14, version 1.6*

This is the one that has relatively almost words

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2012-10-21, version 1.1*

I'm currently 18 years old and both my parents are Korean but I was born in Canada so my Korean isn't as fluent ad theirs. With the help of this app, I can quickly search a few words and find an answer.

At first I was cautious about this app as there were no reviews or ratings on it, but i cannot understand why...Great app! Offline usage is a big advatange! Well done!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2012-05-01, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-07-15, version 1.18*

So stupid idek what the point of this app is

### 1/5 — 망할

*2012-08-31, version 1.1*

유료구매했는데 광고나오는 어이없는 어플 광고지우려면 1달러 더내야됨 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 앱스토어에 환불요청 해놨음 이거받지마세요.

### 2/5 — Wrong translation

*2019-04-20, version 1.18*

I was looking for the word for 등대지기. 
Your dictionary says “light housekeeper”. 
Looked kind of funny and Not right. Further search says “lighthouse keeper”. 
Big difference!

### 2/5 — Probably still being developed

*2012-05-14, version 1.0*

Definitions are brief and the pronunciation does not work, at least for me.

### 3/5 — Good dict but fall short of voice support

*2014-10-11, version 1.9*

Basically good dictionary but falls short of voice support. Have to be online to use voice feature which is really bad feature.

### 4/5 — Some Inappropriate Numbers Added

*2020-02-25, version 1.18*

I’ve been using this app for a few years and have never encountered anything strange about their interpretations or seen anything odd written until tonight.  I looked up “majseubnida” (it is correct) and found this:  “맞습니다” then below it it says “It is” and then below that is says “Corresp69onded, Fit, Correct, Fits”.  

I’m almost 66 years old and the numbers the translator “fit in” is offensive in a dictionary.  I’m not some prudish old hag.  I understand the other meaning of “69”, but it really isn’t appropriate in a Korean/English dictionary or any dictionary, for that matter.  It’s probably too late, but I do hope the translator is, at the very least, warned and I also hope (and will look for) that the “69” will be removed from the translation.  Also, anything else the translator worked on is suspect and should be checked for other inappropriate additions.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2019-06-03, version 1.18*

It’s a good app but not many words that I’m looking for! But there are mannnnyyyy words👍

### 4/5 — Korean Dictionary

*2017-01-28, version 1.17*

I like this dictionary, but I did find what I think is an error for the word 격식. Here's the definition in the dictionary:

격식
Informal
formal, formality, prestigious

Note that the definition uses two words of opposite meaning. I believe the word indicates formal, not informal.

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-12-21, version 1.13*

It's useful

### 4/5 — Approved

*2014-12-27, version 1.9*

This app will be extremely fun and will teach me a few new ways to say things

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-01-06, version 1.18*

Thank you for the app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-02-04, version 1.14*

Awesome dictionary

### 5/5 — Great app but,,,

*2016-01-15, version 1.14*

The pronunciation is not functioning. I already update the newest version. My connection is fine.

### 5/5 — Awesome dictionary!

*2015-02-25, version 1.9*

Awesome app with great pronunciation! Best korean/English dictionary I have found!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2015-02-15, version 1.9*

Excellent dictionary. Very comprehensive. Very helpful to download fully for times when you can't get internet connection. Super helpful since I've even in Korea.

### 5/5 — Useful, offline Korean English Dictionary

*2015-01-10, version 1.9*

I downloaded this app several days ago and it has worked wonderfully (going from Korean to English and back again).  Everything is obviously offline; you're basically querying from a bunch of words that the designer has loaded into a list.

As far as ads go, ads are placed in relatively innocuous places, making your experience relatively unburdened.  Definitely recommend; if this continues to be useful for the next couple of weeks, I'll definitely pay to remove ads / help the developer.

### 5/5 — Good Korean Dictionary

*2014-10-03, version 1.9*

This is another dictionary by Nguyen that I like (and prefer over other dictionaries).  It is comprehensive. Has a lot of compound words. Best of all, it has the "old" Chinese character translation. This feature is of tremendous help in understanding the Korean vocabulary.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2014-06-15, version 1.8*

I find it very useful as a Korean to English dictionary.

### 5/5 — Review

*2014-06-07, version 1.8*
