### 1/5 — Poorly designed content

*2023-03-03*

Only drills on useless vocab and no commutative tasks. Some answer choices are wrong.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and useful resources

*2021-10-26, version 1.3*

Definitely recommend to download this dictionary. This app is what I have been searching for 👍

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your encouraging star ratings!
