It is really helpful. There is an issue on MacOS version where appearance is set to light. Once quit and reopened, it returns to system state. Also there is a misalignment when I click on appearance and then the list of Dark, light and system is misaligned. Can you fix it? Thanks. ### 4/5 — Daylight mod *2025-08-16, version 2.2.5* Daylight model doesn’t work at night! ### 4/5 — Good, but not perfect *2022-03-16, version 2.2.4* I am a Mdict user since the age of Windows Mobile. Right now, I don’t know how to add fonts to the iOS version to make the Chinese Pinyin display correctly. Previously in WM version, I recall that I can create a fonts folder and add needed fonts there, tested on iOS version but not work, ### 3/5 — too simple to be great *2021-01-07, version 2.2.2* It is a certain ebook rather than a useful reference ‘tool.’ The functionality of looking up words in apps other than Mdict itself has never been heard of. And the same problem exists in the MacOs version or shortcut. I think the author just ignores users’ complaints rather than faces them or provides improved versions. Perhaps it is a typical behavior of some Chinese developers. ### 4/5 — Font error *2020-11-29, version 2.2.1* Font Tibetan is error, keyboard is ok, but when searching dictionary, there is an error that can't be read (with Big sur on Macbook pro). Please correct and update it. ### 4/5 — 请增加收藏文件夹和登陆功能 *2020-04-04, version 2.0.17* 很好的词典，有两个建议，一是增加收藏文件夹，毕竟所有的收藏单词放在一起不便于管理，二是增加登陆功能，以便在不同的设备之间也可以同步收藏的单词 ### 4/5 — Clipboard is not working properly *2020-02-24, version 2.0.17* I have this great app on my ipad but when I copy a word from another app, it s not being shown in mdict in floating mode. The other issue is search bar, when I searched a word, I have to press back button to go back to first page to be able to search new word, is that possible to have the search bar or button fixed in the pages? like bluedict app? ### 4/5 — Dark mode *2019-10-06, version 2.0.17* Can you please add the support for dark mode? Thanks ### 4/5 — download .mdd document. find it can not open in MDict *2019-03-19, version 2.0.16* MDict support “.mdd”, so it can just download in laptop/pc, not in iPhone and open straight? ### 4/5 — 2.0.15版闪退 *2018-11-26, version 2.0.15* 2.0.15版用launch通知栏快捷方式转，闪退...望修复 ### 4/5 — Auto lookup clipboard not working in floating window *2018-06-30, version 2.0.13* I’m using iPad Pro 10.5 with iOS 11.4. When using Mdict as floating window (some app wont allow split window), if I copy a word from background app, Mdict wouldn’t auto fresh and show up the word. I have to quit the multitasking and open Mdict solely, and only in this way the auto look up become actually “auto”. Pleeeeease fix this. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2018-05-16, version 2.0.13* I'd like to thank you for this great app. I wish the you can support more extensions like .BGL and .LD2. This app make a difference for those who know. Thanks again. ### 3/5 — No multi dict function for iPhone? *2018-04-10, version 2.0.13* I have used this app on Android for many years and loved it. However the group function does not work on iPhone. It keeps saying the default group has invalid format. Very frustrating ### 5/5 — A must-have app *2018-02-06, version 2.0.13* Thank you for your app. I have so many dictionaries now.😍 P.s: please add dark mode to following updates. ### 5/5 — Excellent dictionary app *2018-01-31, version 2.0.13* The most used app on my iphone! I use it like 10-20 times everyday. Cannot live without it. Keep up the excellent work! Hope there is a test function some day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It is awful *2024-09-15, version 2.2.1* It doesn’t support many languages. It only supports five languages. I bought it, and I completely regret it. It’s a waste of money. ### 1/5 — 爛 *2023-07-21, version 2.2.4* 媽的檔案沒辦法丟啊 ### 1/5 — Usable but not as expected *2020-12-26, version 2.2.1* I have purchased both the iOS & Mac versions. The iOS Mdict is fine since there is no shortcuts needed. However, compared with many Mac dictionary apps, Golden Dict for instance, the Mac Mdict seems very awkward to use for its lack of shortcut functionality and frequent automatic crash. With Mac dictionary.app, I need only one tap with three fingers to look up words but with Mdict I have to copy, switch to Mdict, click the search entry, and paste or maybe other steps. Well, 5 out of 10 times I find Mdict has crashed or automatically quit right after I have done the first two steps or I cannot find where Mdict is while tapping CMD Tab! Please fix this or simply give me back my money. ### 1/5 — 소리 안됨 ㅠ *2019-09-23, version 2.0.16* ios 13 업데이트 후 mdict 파일 소리가 안 나옵니다 ㅠ There is no sound mdict files. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2018-11-04, version 2.0.13* Unusable ### 1/5 — Cant use group dictionary *2017-12-12, version 2.0.11* when I search a word, it only show in 1 dictionary. I copied all dictionaries in itune. What happened with it! I restarted ipad but no charge ### 1/5 — えっ… *2013-02-08, version 1.6* 日本語辞書をためしにダウンロードしてみましたが、 使えません。 これは使えないでしょう。 ### 1/5 — Crashing *2011-12-28, version 1.4* Cannot open, and not stable. Please check. Thanks. ### 1/5 — 아직 사지마세요. *2010-09-24, version 0* 처음 한 번 잘 실행되더니 그다음부터 다운 됨. 프로그램이 실행되지 않아 전혀 사용 할 수 없슴. 아직 사지마세요. 무한 다운 증세로 사용할 수 없습니다. ### 1/5 — 이거 절대 사지마세요 *2010-09-19, version 0* 실행하면 무한 튕김 일어나고 동작 안됩니다 . 완전 사기당한 기분이네요. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 无法全文查找（Full Text Search） *2025-10-31, version 2.2.7* 一直在用Windows端的MDict ，全文查找（Ctrl-Shift-F）和全文查找下一个（F4）的使用频率很高，希望移动端也能全文查找。 ### 5/5 — Works great on ipad *2025-03-17, version 2.2.1* If the dictionary entries could be displayed in custom fonts, the app would be perfect! ### 5/5 — 잘됩니다. (Sequoia 15.0.1) *2024-10-16, version 2.2.1* 고맙습니다. ### 5/5 — 이 이상의 사전이 또 있을까 *2021-10-07, version 2.2.1* pda 시절 추억의 사전이였는데. 과거 pda 시절의 몇 십메가짜리 사전 데이터가 아닌, 음성,사진이 있는 기가 단위 데이터를 집어넣으니, 문장까지 음성 지원이 된다. 너무 쪼아 이 앱은 맥과 ios 까지 유니버셜 앱이여서 또 좋다. icloud 에 사전 데이터를 집어넣고 폰과 아이패드, 맥에서 사용하니 편하고 참 좋다. 여전히, 최고의 사전이다. 발전한 사전 컨텐츠를 넣으니까 정말 좋다. 이보다 좋을 수 없을만큼 좋다. 다시 한번 우주 최고의 사전! ### 5/5 — Great *2021-04-09, version 2.2.1* Simple n straightforward just like the ios version. ### 5/5 — 欠的费，补上了 *2021-03-13, version 2.2.4* 之前一直在用它的免费版。 用过的最快的电子词典，高效，简易，没有乱七八糟的鸡肋功能。但是该有的功能一个不少: 1 随意调字体大小 2 随意安装朗文/牛津词典 3 无限词典内单词查询 4 收藏生词 当你把一件事坐到极致，那就是最好的了。 这么多年，欠作者的费，补上了！ ### 5/5 — I would give 5 stars *2020-09-06, version 2.2.2* if a few precedents near a main keyword could be scrolled down. Other than that, excellent! ### 5/5 — 非常好用 *2019-12-31, version 2.0.17* 很實用 ### 5/5 — 如有条件，请下载无广告版，支持作者 *2019-12-06, version 2.0.17* 坚持更新超过十年，让广大语言学习者受益的软件项目，很多人像我一样，从零起点到流利使用一门语言，一路上也得到这软件的很多帮助，感谢作者一路的工作。 ### 5/5 — 實用 *2019-06-27, version 2.0.16* 網上能找到的精品字典辭典很多，很好用。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
