### 2/5 — Bad Experience On iPad 12.9

*2016-10-07*

The display is still zoomed after the iOS 10 Update. Some words are missing in this dictionary.

### 2/5 — Landscape is Available Now

*2016-04-09*

The new landscape orientation enhanced this valuable learner's dictionary.

### 2/5 — Developer doesn't reflect customers' opinion

*2014-12-02*

I started not using translator since I've used this dictionary. The contents are easy to understand indeed. HOWEVER, Why don't they fix the landscape mode error?
Seriously I'm curious. I sent the email a couple months ago then they said "yes we will fix" but they haven't fixed it yet.

### 2/5 — Landscape view not available

*2014-02-18*

Landscape view please!!! Otherwise, it's great.

### 1/5 — Don't bother, waste of money!

*2012-09-10, version 1.0.2*

Don't see any difference to the Free version of MW Dictionary, other than the green color. 
Well, there's no ads, still ain't worth the money.
Disappointed, will not download any more of MW Apps.

### 1/5 — can’t split screen with other apps in ipad pro

*2020-02-21*

can’t split screen with other apps in iPad pro, please 🙏 make some upgrades!

### 1/5 — Cross reference.

*2019-05-29*

The app is not returning to the original navigation point, but to the app opening front page. This was unexpected and annoying for a reference app. Improvements are urgently necessary here.

2019
No improvement. Furthermore, the microphone is not accessible while there is no barrier to prevent functioning. The only thing I can think of is the app must be updated to match Apple’s iOS updates. This is no longer useful although fully paid for.

### 1/5 — Ms

*2015-08-20, version 1.0.2*

I found this app not worth spending money.  Free version is better

### 1/5 — False Advertising

*2015-02-15*

App is no good. Not suitable for IPad (no landscape feature) Designed for a iPhone. Save your money and get the "free" version!

### 1/5 — Worse than the original

*2014-09-02*

this app doesn't upgrade, it downgrades. it has no landscape mode, the voice search doesn't work and there are more words in the free version! DO... NOT... BUY! and I only gave it one star because you can't give it none

### 1/5 — They don't fix

*2014-01-21*

It isn't suitable for IOS 7
It isn't HD
It doesn't has landscape mode. ( you can only use vertical position ) 
They don't update this app. Satisfaction %10

### 1/5 — Biggest Ripoff

*2014-01-19*

Where is the landscape mode? This application is a failure.  It doesn't do what is promised.  I want my money.  What a ripoff?

### 1/5 — Not working on iOS 7 :(

*2013-11-24*

please fix this app for iPad iOS 7
it is not working like it should:
no landscape mode
no side panel 
no HD

### 1/5 — Liying

*2013-02-27*

This app is a false advertisement! Nothing that they say is true about it

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2012-10-30*

Less entries than a typical free Internet web page dictionary.  The FIRST word I wanted was not included.

I love it!!!

### 5/5 — This is the best!

*2020-07-15*

A-1st letter ...

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-10-14*

Two things I'd add is simple Derivations, and being able to hit enter after typing a word and go straight to the word

### 5/5 — The best ESL dictionary.

*2016-05-23, version 2.0*

This dictionary is the best for ESL students.

### 5/5 — Sup

Ya it's pretty helpful

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-12-11*

It's great application and helped me a lot .

### 5/5 — Great dictionary for international students

*2012-06-27*

Free version is good enough for international students. But if you want more examples of using word, this price is reasonable comparing to other dictionary apps.

### 4/5 — Landscape mode needed

*2014-03-09*

Your app is great, but no landscape mode.  Please fix the problem.

### 4/5 — iPad vertical!

*2014-02-07, version 1.0.2*

The description does mention this is optimize for iPhone devices :-(...it said compatible with iPad.  I can still use it but horizontal use of iPads are more friendly user.

### 3/5 — landscape mode not supported

*2015-01-15*

does not support landscape mode in my ipad air.
Contacted and requested multiple times but still the same.
