### 1/5 — App crashing

*2025-01-29*

App is crashing automatically. Need an update to fix

### 4/5 — Small improvement needed

*2024-12-10*

When we open the app the search field has a default entry "olam" which is not necessary. We need to clear it before I could search anything. Pls remove it.

### 1/5 — iOS version is too bad

*2023-12-03*

Not user friendly 
Before type any thing we shouldn’t have to delete the placeholder

### 1/5 — It shutsdown in apple phones

*2023-11-16*

App shutsdown every now and then . Earlier it was working fine

### 5/5 — Copy paste issue

*2023-11-11*

I've been using this app for a while now, and it's truly fantastic. Every time I encounter a word whose exact meaning in my mother tongue eludes me, this app proves invaluable. I usually copy the words and save them in a notepad for future reference. However, I've encountered an issue – I can't copy and paste words anymore. Developers, please investigate and address this current difficulty. Thanks in advance!

### 4/5 — Please update. 🙏

Its an awesome app for my day to day activities. However i jave a suggestion. Is it possible to add an option to type in  Malayalam amd know its meaning in english?

### 5/5 — Extremely useful

*2023-01-06*

Gives a lot of synonyms also. Helps in having a much better understanding of the text I’m reading, than while using an English dictionary. Hope the developer comes up with a dictionary for malayalam words also. Thank you!

### 5/5 — A little opinion opinion

*2021-05-09*

Olam is good, and it would be more better if you provide the pronunciations also.
