### 4/5 — Flash cards are broken

*2026-07-11*

I found this first as the website then as their app and I’m obsessed!!! This is my favorite tool because I can filter between dialects and if the word appears in an example. Genuinely fantastic. The app is a bit broken as trying to save a flash card or accessing them at the bottom crashes the app. I hope they fix it soon ❤️

### 5/5 — Fantastic for Arabic Learning!

*2025-07-27*

I’ve now been studying Arabic for five years, and I cannot express how fundamental this app has been to my linguistic development. In that time, I have studied in Jordan, Morocco, and Oman, and while the app has been a fantastic resource for learning MSA, there simply isn’t a single-stop resource comparable in terms of dialect study. I will note, the (extremely helpful) regional dialect dictionaries do seem to sometimes skew toward specific countries (e.g., North African leans Moroccan and Gulf sometimes lacks Omani words). Nevertheless, this problem is rare, and the app would deserve five stars for its MSA dictionary alone!

### 5/5 — By Iran

*2024-12-24*

It is very useful and practical, Thank you very much. By the way, could you please make the entire dictionary database offline for a fee?

### 4/5 — Interface only in arabic

*2024-07-04*

Why the interface is fully in arabic oppositely to the screenshots on the Appstore ?
Except that, the app is super great

### 5/5 — Dialects Fusha and tons of examples

*2023-12-25*

Such a great app, i hope they never stop growing it. It has so much potential and has been a life saver living in morocco this past year studying in the CASA program. Easily the best dictionary for MSA and dialects

### 1/5 — Absolutely not worth trying this app!

*2023-08-12, version 3.2.0*

Ive searched for a several words and most of them didn’t appear properly in the search . Not that one out of 3 letters were different, the search would show me completely different word with not even close letters!

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2023-04-13*

App is crashing constantly

### 5/5 — Useful application

*2023-02-28*

Very very good work

### 1/5 — Annoying ads ruin UX

*2022-07-10*

Great app but really freaking annoying ads in the recent update. If you want to make money off the app you should offer either a subscription or one-time payment option.

Veeeery frustrating to be mid-conversation with someone, open the app to look up a word you missed, and then have to watch a freaking space invader advertisement for five or ten seconds before being allowed to see the results of your search. Kind of a terrible revenue model for what’s potentially a daily-use kind of app.

Please fix this. Would be happy to modify the review once it is fixed.

### 3/5 — Why SO many ads now??

*2022-06-20*

Always been my go-to app for quick translation. I’m so disappointed now by the ads. I didn’t pay $11 for the app (this was before it became free) just to be bombarded with ads every time I open or search something.
