### 5/5 — Incredibly good dictionary

*2025-07-13, version 8.0*

I’ve written a review before but I want to rewrite it. I loved the update of the app! There seems to be a bug where when you use the search bar with any of the imported akhars (ਸ਼ ਖ਼ ਗ਼ ਜ਼ ਫ਼ and ਲ਼) it doesn’t show any word for it. For example, if you type ਸ਼ਊਰ nothing appears even though it’s in the app in the ਸ਼ section.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-06-11, version 8.0*

Very good app. I love looking up words my grandma says and noting them down. It would be cool if there was a feature where you could star or favorite words.

### 5/5 — Elegant, Comprehensive

*2025-03-19, version 8.0*

No fluff, does the job, very approachable, very pleasant experience. Makes learning a (aesthetic) joy

### 5/5 — amazing app

*2025-01-31, version 8.0*

It is the best app in regards to convenience finding a word you are looking for..the only thing I want to bring back is to search using bindi..that will be fabulous. Thanks for this app. I wish it was available on playstore too though.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-01-02, version 8.0*

Excellent app. Just wanted to convey to keep doing such work. Helps a lot….

### 5/5 — Great app and very useful

*2024-09-21, version 8.0*

Thanks for all your efforts into making this app and for making it free. 
Recent update however have some issues searching for words. 
Certain words don’t show up even if you enter the correct spelling in either Shahmukhi or Gurmukhi. For ex ਅਰਜ਼

Some words don’t show up when you enter Gurmukhi spelling but they show up when you enter Shahmukhi spelling. For ex. ਮਰਜ਼

### 5/5 — Amazing Update but Improvements can be made

*2024-04-03, version 8.0*

Update is amazing. Love the “Word of the day.” However, the short descriptions underneath the words are now missing. Please bring it back, as it made it easy to quickly identify words. Sometimes even made it easier to identify words I’m looking for by pure sound alone. 

Also, please fix the bindis (਼) as I cannot search up words with them for some reason.

All in all, amazing app!

### 5/5 — This new update is amazing!

*2024-02-20, version 8.0*

First time I’ve written a review for an app. Thank you so much for updating the app. I’ve been using it every day and even added the widget to my Home Screen which is helping me to learn Gurmukhi. This app is a huge service to the Punjabi community.

### 5/5 — Love the diacritics!

*2024-02-17, version 8.0*

I have been using this app for years. Thank you for the diacritics. This is a gift to scholars of South Asian languages, literatures, and religions.

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2024-01-24, version 8.0*

The new update looks so cool. I love the new feature where you can preview the words just by searching. It is a bit slower though on my device (iPhone 12), but the redesign is worth it. Thanks!
