I searched a lot to find this perfection. But unfortunately after the latest update the “get from the internet” has disappeared. Please bring it back. ### 5/5 — Good app for phone+mac *2025-01-11* Phone and mac automatically sync. Easy to add in definitions. Couple things should be fixed: in quiz mode answers do not clear after submitting, when adding multiple examples in a row the text from the previous example does not clear. ### 5/5 — Building Lexicon *2024-10-27* I love using this app! It’s definitely helping me build my vocab! Thank you, developers. Only problem: When I click to hear the word pronounced, it doesn’t work. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review! Check out the new version, this issue should be fixed now! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-28* Very good **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks so much! If you have any suggestions, please, reach out to me in my social media DMs ### 5/5 — Best Vocab app I’ve come across for sure. Id just like to request some things if possible *2023-10-08* Would it be possible to lowercase the words whenever they are added to the list? Some of the definitions I have are proper nouns and that can cause a mixup. Second, would it be possible to add a feature of both iCloud backups, as well as exports? I would like to be able to export my data in a plain text format if at all possible (i.e., json, xml, Csv, etc.) Lastly, would it be possible to include wikionary as a source for definitions? The very first word I looked up ‘aby’ says that it wasn’t found. However, it is on wikitionary. Thank you developer for your work. Very much appreciated! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review! I definitely have planned some new features, especially import/export from a file. I’m planning to do a separate settings screen where I would put the option to disable autocapitalization. And I’ll sure see what I can do about Wikitionary! ### 5/5 — Kudos for simplicity, but I can't use it *2022-06-25* I don't want to spoil your rating, but to be honest I am not so glad. Cool thing that you can fetch the definitions. But why is the definition input so small and has a length limitation? I can't use more than 106 characters, which is not enough for a word definition. As you can see when you try to fetch the definitions, you have a few of them. Why do I have to choose between them and not use all of them in the order of appearance? **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! In the new version there shouldn’t be a limit for the definition field, and also you should be able to select many definitions! ### 5/5 — Finally an app exactly what I want *2022-02-06* I’m looking for an app which can make my own quizzes for months. And I’m so happy to find the idioms section!! This little app definitely has everything for building your own dictionary! Best dictionary app ever. **Developer response:** thank you for your review! hope you like it as I do! ### 5/5 — Wooow *2021-10-11* Super cool, and the best is that you can contact the developer and he will add your feature. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks so much for the feedback! Indeed, I always try to improve the app and implement requested features so the experience of using the app can be the best. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Good app, no export or support *2025-02-16* This is a good app that simply does what ’s required, but there is no data export. Should I put potentially years of data gathering into an app that won’t let me get my data back? 95% of the software producers that existed when I first touched a computer no longer exist. Also, no help, no report and the contact (via X/Twitter) is non-responsive when I comment on a thread. Directly messaging requires a paid subscription to X which I don’t want. So… good product, very high risk. **Developer response:** Hello Michael! Please, check out new version, there should be the requested features now. Also, it’s better to contact me on my email, as I don’t use threads. My email is bonney977@gmail.com ### 3/5 — Personal dictionary *2025-09-30* Not sure how to use the quizzes anymore. In the older version I could see them but now I cannot. I also cannot drag the window to make it full screen anymore. There is no scroll bar anymore either to drag down the list which is not good for me because I have a list of 600+ terms. **Developer response:** Hello, Leviathan.22! Thank you for your review! Please, contact me on my instagram page or email - bonney977@gmail.com. Tell me more about the quizzes issue. About other things - just have posted an update - version 4.4.2 - you can now resize the window and I fixes the scroll bar as well. Quizzes issue should be fixed, assuming you got a bug when you completed a quiz with hard words settings and there is not enough hard words left, and you could not change the setting back - this issues specifically is addressed and you can now reset applied filters. ### 4/5 — Great App *2024-12-31* Absolutely love this app. Great to build your vocabulary and practice the use of these words, apart from spelling and meaning another quiz could be added where you can practice the use of these words, no complains or qualms otherwise. Great job kudos to the team!! :) ### 4/5 — Need Backups *2024-07-19* Love the app, and the ability to customise definitions. One thing bothers me is that there’s so backup feature. If there was an import/export data feature it would feel much more secure to use this app for years. ### 4/5 — Good app, needs a little tweak though *2024-02-19, version 3* Couple of annoying little aspects. When I click add example (a second one), the text from the first example is automatically pasted in so you have to got through and delete it all. Also, one you have pressed return to save the example, there is no way to edit or delete it which is super annoying! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-02-07* I love this app me and my friend are making our own language and love how we can collaborate and work on it together! The app may not have been made for this, but it works quite well for made up-languages! **Developer response:** Wow! That’s definitely something I didn’t expect people would do in my app! Thank you for the review! Have fun! ### 5/5 — What happened to the AI generating definitions? *2025-11-12* I paid for the premium version so I would have an unlimited amount of requests to generate definitions and sentences. I wish there was a way to turn this feature on and off. Because it is sometimes rather slow. I like the definitions it generates and having two sentences to understand the context better. However, it no longer does either of these things. **Developer response:** Hello sir! Please, check out release 5.0.2. The issue you mentioned should be solved. I have found a reason why some users with premium subscription were unable to get definitions from AI. Please let me know how it goes! Thanks for helping me out to identify the issue! ### 5/5 — Personal Dictionary with quiz *2025-10-05* Simple personal dictionary/glossary that syncs across iCloud. Multiple types of quizzes for the terms+definitions. App developer is responsive to fix things and help ### 5/5 — Теперь это моя любимая программа *2025-10-04* Я долго искала именно такую программу которая не просто переводит слова а позволяет глубже понять смысл слов и выражений. Спасибо команде за труды и желаю процветания. ### 5/5 — Great app, here’s some suggestions *2025-09-25* I love the simplicity of this app. One thing to change is in definition quizzes, the other definitions should come from words of the same type as the word given, so you can’t just cheat by seeing which definition matches the type of word. **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and helpful feedback, mkkay9! I am glad you love the app’s simplicity. I have implemented your suggestion about using definitions from the same word type in my latest update, which is currently awaiting review. Stay tuned for the improved version soon! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2025-07-04, version 3.2.1* I’m very pleased with this app. I can now key in words that I’m not familiar with and test myself with the quiz. So far everything in the app is working well and I’m enjoying it. It’s great that it syncs as well as I have it on another device. ### 5/5 — Just got it, already love it *2025-04-06* I beg beg beg and plead, add compatibility between users. My friends and I are looking for a shared dictionary app, where we can all have our own dictionaries, and then a large combined overlapping one, the market has NONE. Please 🙏 (our favorite app is TimeTree for combined calendars, we want something like this but for dictionaries) **Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star review, lovoxide! I am delighted you love the app already. Great news— I’ve successfully implemented the shared dictionary feature you requested, allowing compatibility between users with individual dictionaries. Enjoy sharing words with your friends! And you can even share your quiz results for these words as well! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-03-30* Thank you for creating this. I searched a lot to find this perfection. But unfortunately after the latest update the “get from the internet” has disappeared. Please bring it back. Update: it’s all good now. Actually even better in this format. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the suggestion. I guess that I should indeed bring it back. But the definitions should load automatically now, after you typed a word! ### 5/5 — Feature requests *2025-03-28* Would it be possible to lowercase the words whenever they are added to the list? Some of the definitions I have are proper nouns and that can cause a mixup. Would it be possible to include wikionary as a source for definitions? The very first word I looked up ‘aby’ says that it wasn’t found. However, it is on wikitionary. Another example includes “deputable”. It says these are not words **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review! I definitely have planned some new features, especially import/export from a file. I’m planning to do a separate settings screen where I would put the option to disable autocapitalization. And I’ll sure see what I can do about Wikitionary! ### 5/5 — FINALLY *2025-03-25* I’ve been looking for something basic and simple like this for over a YEAR. Every app I tried had me swimming through ads on what basically looks like a web page pulled up in internet explorer (Oxford, Webster, Dictionary.com, etc.) just to use the bookmarking feature. Or it was a decent app to use but had a required subscription because of the millions of other fancy features I didn’t need. This little My Dictionary app is SO easy to use and EXACTLY what I was looking for. Just a simple definition search engine that lets me save words. I also LOVE that it lets you enter in your own examples!! This has been so handy since I often forget where I initially read the word, so having a space to log the sentence I saw it in for context is SO INSANELY HELPFUL. All around incredible app, stoked to keep supporting its development, if you like it please send the developer a donation!! **Developer response:** Well, thank YOU, Branwiches! Your support means a lot, and I really appreciate everything you’ve written here. I continue to improve the app and hope you find new updates even more useful! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
