### 5/5 — This is my main dictionary.

*2019-01-17*

I have been using this dictionary for a long time. I also have the hard copy. The pronunciations for the words is a great tool and is very clear. I wish that, like other dictionaries do, it would give us the selection to display the definitions within other documents when we select a word. Many of my dreams have been fulfilled, and hope this one will be soon added to my list.
Then, this dictionary will deserve 20 stars.

### 5/5 — 업데이트 후 기능이 많이 좋아졌군요.

*2012-04-27*

처음에 구입했을 땐, 이것이 과연 사전인가 할 정도로 형편 없었지만, 

업데이트 후에 기능이 많이 좋아졌군요. 음성도 지원이 되고, 자동시 타동사 표시, 관용어구도 추가 되었군요. 

앞으로도 계속, 좀 더 나은 기능이 추가되어, 롱맨 영영 사전과 비슷한 수준이 되길 바랍니다.

### 1/5 — 완전 실망인 앱

*2012-04-24*

4월 업데이트 해준다는 말은 쏙 들어 가 버린듯 ybm 사전에 넣었다는 어이 없는 소리나 하고 있고 별도 주기 아까운 앱입니다

### 1/5 — 비추

*2012-04-17*

소비자 기만 쩐다 옛다 별하나

### 3/5 — 하루 1달러?

*2012-04-11*

하루에 1달러씩 오른다더니,
일주일에 1달러씩인가요?

어플자체는 나쁘지 않은데,
뭔가 속은듯 찝찝하네요.

### 1/5 — 헐 이게 추가 된줄 몰랐네요

*2012-04-08*

기존 ybm사전에 추가가 되다니 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — wonderful app

*2012-04-07*

at last the famous Random House Dictionary is digitalized.

I suggest the developors implement the check-spelling and auto-correction features as that already embeded in apple. And hope the font size could be changed in iphone.

Anyway, still a wonderful app; and I m glad someone developed an application for the prestigious Random House Webster

### 3/5 — 중복 구입 환불요청

*2012-04-05*

현재 YBM 영한영 구입 사용중인데 이 사전과 똑같은 영영사전이 추가되어서 따로 구입한 이 사전은 소용이 없을 것 같습니다 업데이트 모르고 구입했는데 환불 부탁합니다!

### 3/5 — 믿고받습니다.^^

*2012-04-04*

음성지원도 곧 업데이트시켜준다고 하시니 믿고 다운 받습니다. 어쨌든 저렴하게 구입할 수 있으니까요. 사용해보니까 괜찮은 것 같습니다.^^ 영영사전 갖고 싶었는데 잘된 것 같아요~~^^ 개발자분께서도 최대한 소비자들의 의견 수렴해서 반영하신다는 글을 믿겠습니다. 유용한 어플 감사합니다~^^

### 5/5 — 깔끔하네요ㅎㅎ

*2012-04-04*

ybm 영한사전 만든회사 맞나요?? 살짝 고민도 했는데 역시네요 이 가격에 이런 걸 사서 좋네요ㅎㅎ 근데 솔직히 14달러라면 안 샀을 거 같아요 그 가격에 파실 거라면 그에 걸맞는 추가적인 서비스가 필요할 거 같네요 ㅎㅎㅎ
