### 1/5 — BOUGHT ONCE NOT WORKING-  ONLY WANTS BUY AGAIN-ADS

*2026-02-12*

ADS Blocking APP USAGE, Feb 2026

### 5/5 — 좋음 영어 공부하기에

*2024-10-29*

영어는 영어로 해야 영어가 더 빨리 습득 힐수 있음 아직도 한국식 영어 공부법으로 하는 어리석은짓 하지 맙시다

### 3/5 — Functions Plus

*2024-09-07*

Make a search bar everywhere especially in word meaning page.

### 5/5 — 영어를 영어로 이해하기 좋은 사전

*2024-07-09*

좋습니다

### 5/5 — great

*2024-03-19, version 15.3*

really like this dictionary, includes helpful conjugation, etymology...
I tried to find "to come undone"... but couldn't find it ! ok.

### 3/5 — User experiences improvement

*2023-10-22*

It works fine on a full screen, but when I use dictionary apps in the floating windows on the right hand side, the word list would take almost 90% area of the floating window, and I have to click an invisible button to see the definition. If I want to search another word, I need to click a button and go back to the search page. Could you please make improvements on the layout so that its easier to use in the floating window on iPad.

**Developer response:** The arrow button should not be invisible. Please send a screenshot to our support desk.
BTW. There is a "Share" item to lookup a selected word from the other app on the screen.
You can open the top definition by tapping return on the keyboard too.

### 4/5 — Great Dictionary

*2023-09-17*

Contains ODE, 2nd revised ed. 2005. Short useful etymol. information., reference to cognate words. No new words being added. Works well on iPhone MacBook. Cf. Shorter OED.

### 1/5 — Total Failure

*2023-02-18*

Ditto to previous comment.  I have used this app without issue until recently.    When the App is now opened it immediately stops opening and brings me to the AppStore page.  The App, already paid for, is now useless.

**Developer response:** The license decryption process was broken (by someone else)
Please download the latest version (14.0) that should fix the problem.

### 1/5 — 突然使えなくなりました

*2023-02-15*

他の方も書いていますが、全く同じです。突然新しいバージョンをダウンロードするようにメッセージが出て、 AppleStoreに移動させられますが、移動させられるだけで何も出来ず、結局辞書は使えません。なんとかしてください。酷すぎます。

**Developer response:** その後、修正されました。

### 1/5 — Started to crash

*2023-02-15*

The app is not cheap at all. But using an iPhone XS I am seeing the same errors: Total failure and the app redirects me to the App Store… horrible experience

**Developer response:** The license decryption process was broken (by someone else)
Please download the latest version (14.0) that should fix the problem.
