### 5/5 — 頼りになります

*2025-02-18*

意味の説明が要領よくまとめられていて英和辞典よりピンとくることが多い。オフラインで、発音まで聴けて無料とは本当に素晴らしいと思います。

### 3/5 — メールが届きません

*2024-04-29*

ある不具合について、アプリ内記載あるアドレスに送信したところ、不達のメッセージが届きました…。

尚、不具合とは、検索した単語を範囲指定、〝調べる”の後にアプリに戻ると、アプリがフリーズしており、再起動を余儀なくされるというものです。

### 4/5 — もう10年以上は使っているアプリ

*2024-04-19*

iOS17のiPhoneSE（第2世代）で使用

iPhone4の頃に買ったアプリだったかと思いますが未だに使えています

英英辞典ですからはっきりとした日本語訳にはなりませんが雰囲気ぐらいは掴めます
星印をタップするとお気に入り登録できるので、複数フォルダを作っておいて後で単語や熟語を見返しています
自分はラジオビジネス英会話やDuolingo、仕事の文献などでフォルダ分けしています

英語を生涯学習として学んでいますが
多少は役に立っています

### 2/5 — Abandoned App & Annoying

*2023-10-26*

Went from a 4 to a 2-star because the review screen keeps popping up and will not easily go away without having to either keep tapping on “not now” or having to close the app and restart it. Please stop that. Plus no updates for 5 years. Abandoned app.                                                       Old review: Needs just a couple of things Good basic dictionary with speed & ability to create personal lists of favorites. However, there still are some words with incomplete definitions, so the full and true meaning of those words is not reflected (which can be misleading). I use this app very, very often (daily), and still would like ro see (1) the ability to add personal notes/comments without, of course, impacting the app's database, and (2) the ability to share (at least via email) my lists of words and defs in the Favorites folders I've created.

### 3/5 — Not for advanced users…

*2023-09-28*

Not a bad app. Well organized. But if you are a wordsmith who devotes a huge chunk of time finding just the right word, beyond the ordinary, there are a few other apps with twice as many fun words that do it better.

### 5/5 — nahzu Perfekt

*2023-04-30*

es gibt die vergangenheit formen von Verben nicht und somit keine aussprache von Vergangenheitsformen sonst perfekt

### 5/5 — The best Application of English Dictionary.

*2022-03-04, version 5.6*

The best Application of English Dictionary.

### 4/5 — Convenient

*2021-02-21*

You can use this anytime without wifi.

### 5/5 — I use this app all the time- very useful.

*2020-08-01*

Has seriously improved my vocabulary, and is easy to use.

### 4/5 — シンプルで良いが

*2020-07-06*

起動後は英語入力に強制的になるように設定してほしい。日本語入力から始まるので面倒。
