User reviews

Hardly any pictures

It doesn’t have enough pictures…I brought a full version too but it’s almost same. Description is exactly same to the full version. It’s not designed for primary school students especially in early stage either. I recommend to buy this one instead of buying the full version if you need one for basic linguistic study.

No voice search even though it says it has

Fuzzy search also doesn’t think like a child; not all words have audio pronounciation.
