### 3/5 — So so

*2026-04-15*

Counter intuitive architecture, bloated with unnecessary forms and lacks necessary ones

### 1/5 — покупки не могут быть загружены

*2026-03-22, version 5.0.1*

покупки на более чем $30-50 больше не могут быть восстановлены! неприемлемо!

### 5/5 — fefa

*2026-03-12, version 5.0.1*

I use this app everyday. To my opinion, it’s the most convenient.

### 3/5 — Problème avec service client

*2026-01-23*

Le dictionnaire est de bonne qualité. Le service client répond rapidement, mais n’a pas été en mesure d’aider à résoudre un problème pourtant simple. La version payante ne fonctionnait pas. J’ai finalement résolu le problème en redémarrant l’application.

### 2/5 — Can’t restore paid dictionaries on the new phone

*2026-01-20, version 5.0.1*

Disappointing experience. The app promises purchased dictionaries for life, but after getting a new iPhone I was unable to restore my $30 dictionary purchase. App support was not helpful and, as “compensation,” offered a Windows desktop version, which I can’t use since I don’t use a PC. This is not an acceptable solution for an iOS purchase. Very frustrating and misleading.

### 5/5 — The best digital dictionary

*2026-01-05, version 5.0.1*

A huge base of dictionaries and can work without Internet

### 5/5 — Wikipedia word translation

*2025-09-15*

Wikipedia found the word. Would be awesome to also get it in the target language using Wikipedia “This page in another language” where possible.

### 5/5 — Super!

*2025-01-29*

Einfach die beste App! Danke dafür!

### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchases

*2025-01-15, version 5.0.1*

Reinstalled the app on brand new iPhone 16 but unable to restore any of my previously purchased dictionaries. Feedback option doesn’t work, ‘report problem’ Option doesn’t work… please fix

### 1/5 — I can’t even use English  dictionary

*2024-10-25, version 5.0.1*

Forced to buy everything . Not useful.
