### 5/5 — Really Appreciable

*2023-11-22, version 7.1*

Whoever developed this app, great work. The app has helped me in so many ways I can’t even keep the count.
Back when I came to Canada, I lacked so much vocabulary and this app came handy in so many situations. I still use it on regular basis.
Thanks to the creators.🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Iphone 15pro max compatibility

*2023-11-15, version 7.1*

App doesn’t open/is crashing on Iphone 15 Pro Max, can this be fixed please?

### 5/5 — Incredibly good but with a  flaw

*2023-07-02, version 7.1*

This is an incredibly good dictionary. I use it a lot. The only problem with this is that the “say” feature for words doesn’t work. It doesn’t say the word, but idk if anything’s gonna be done about it since the developer hasn’t updated this app for years, although it would make my month if you did! :)

### 4/5 — Punjabi dictionary

*2023-06-09, version 7.1*

Hi this  was working fine no issues recently not able to type in

### 5/5 — Thank you so much

*2021-11-19, version 7.1*

Love this app. Have been using it everyday. My Vocab has considerably improved. I also love the fact that there are Shahmukhi translations as well.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-09-12, version 7.1*

This app got everything punjabi - really useful tool.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-09-02, version 7.1*

This app deserves way more reviews. I’ve been consistently using it for over 5 years. Definitely in my top ten apps of all time

### 4/5 — Mr Zab

*2021-04-16, version 7.1*

This dictionary is fabulous the best Panjabi dictionary in terms of apps as now can use both scripts Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi. 

Only thing missing is the ability to listen to the words/phrases

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-01-10, version 7.1*

It’s been really helpful for a Punjabi speaker learning to read. So I can type in Punjabi and look up the synonyms in English. 

Like the fact it usually returns several hits even if you get the punctuation (Matra) wrong.

### 4/5 — Wonderful resource - needs updating

*2020-11-26, version 7.1*

This is something I use almost daily. It’s however showing its age a little, and recently has started crashing, presumably because it needs to be updated to work correctly with iOS 14. 

Please keep up the good work and continue to make this critical resource available to many.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2020-11-11, version 7.1*

It includes almost all words of punjabi 
With clear examples for further clarification

### 5/5 — Hats off

*2020-10-06, version 7.1*

I am a writer baiscally, And I can’t imagine myself writing without this app now

### 3/5 — Words don’t translate

*2020-07-28, version 7.1*

Every time I enter any Punjabi word it won’t translate it. I have had to app for a long time but finally gave up and deleted it. I now am using Google translator for Punjabi at least till I figure out why it isn’t working. Loved it but if it doesn’t work for a long time now, I just have to say goodbye.

### 1/5 — Not working on latest iOS updates

*2023-11-29, version 7.1*

My iPad 10th generation recently updated and since then the app hasn’t been working just crashes

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-07-09, version 7.1*

The app doesn’t open at all.

### 1/5 — Does not have a way to enter transliteration

*2023-03-02, version 7.1*

The app preview shows a way to enter English but after downloading the app, you can only enter Gurmukhi. I’m try to learn the meanings from transliterations so this was useless in that regard.

### 1/5 — limited

*2019-11-03, version 7.1*

Rani Tatt padn lgya c ek v shabad nhi lbya

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 9

*2015-10-02, version 6.0*

Not compatible with iOS 9

### 1/5 — Not opening.

*2015-05-01, version 5.0*

Did latest update for iPad and now program will not open. Uninstalled and reinstalled still not opening. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Sat Sri Akal!!!

*2017-01-19, version 7.1*

Oh Pyaare App developer ਜੀ!!!. I am quite sorry but there are so many error or missing words in this dictionary which make me have to use Google Translate. Also please if posible can be you link and notate which words are Gurmukhi, Persian, Arabic, Sanskrit, Hindi. I.E. basically... improve the history and etymology of the words. And so many everyday words do not exist like. House (ਘਰ).... I love the app because of the only one that works off-line. How many times I will be praying and I look up a word and I find exact definition. But please work on your every day colloquial Punjabi.

### 2/5 — Not good now

*2015-04-29, version 4.5*

This app keeps crashing after the latest update on IOS 8.3. Also, with the update the bookmarks are lost, which is very unfortunate. When the app is working it is brilliant. Please fix

### 2/5 — One way

*2012-08-19, version 3.0*

Weird that it is a one way dictionary.  Worth half of the price .  Include an English search feature and I will  up the rating.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2024-01-03, version 7.1*

Not working … kindly remove the bug

### 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!
