It’s hard to learn essential terms used in any conversation when you don’t know how to say the words. ### 4/5 — Great *2018-09-11* I have found this very useful. ### 4/5 — 阔以 *2017-09-28* 就是有广告 其他还好 ### 2/5 — Decent dictionary, ok app *2017-06-04* This is probably one of the more useful free Eng-Rus dictionary out there (or inexpensive if you purchase add-ons). It does have its bugs, however, and the interface can sometimes be cumbersome to work with. A few translations are not entirely correct, so it requires previous Russian knowledge to distinguish. Despite paying to specifically remove ads, I still receive ads for the developer's other apps. Also, every few days the app reverts back to the free version and blasts me with 3rd party ads. It's easy enough to restore my purchases, but that's not something I should have to do on a regular basis. The developer is unable to fix this issue, so I've since started using Abbyy Lingvo. Expensive, but entirely worth it for serious Russian language students/enthusiasts. ### 2/5 — Too much ads *2016-06-09* While using this immediately an ad played full screen with the five second countdown. This happened pretty often in my experience while I was exploring this app for the first time. Didn't even get into ten full minutes of using it, I'm going to use another dictionary ### 2/5 — Useful but cumbersome and flawed *2015-11-19* A useful checker, but rather glitchy since last update for things like selecting to copy/paste words (inexplicably you have to click the blank space to the side instead of on the word itself), also the search button is now a slide-step away rather than first screen, something that's irritating in use as you need to use this feature all the time (since unlike all other dictionaries which list 'nuances' and contexts alongside word options listed, for some reason this dictionary just gives a long list of words with no hints as to how they're used unless you do specific searches for each one, rather frustrating and counter-intuitive in use as everything becomes needlessly multi-step rather than single-step as it is with other dictionaries) - so, useful but cumbersome and flawed... ### 3/5 — Реклама не гаснет и разряжает телефон! *2014-06-19* Достаточно не выйти из приложения, и через некоторое время включается реклама, которая блокирует переход экрана в режим блокировки. Это сильно разряжает батарею! ### 1/5 — Ads take over your phone *2014-04-05, version 9.5.1* I tried to use this but the adverts just go full screen and you can't get rid of them. Deleted immediately. ### 3/5 — Good dictionary, bad ads *2014-01-22* Adverts seem to be much more invasive in this latest version. The dictionary is still very good, just there's always the danger of a misplaced touch covering the whole screen with an advert. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work anymore :( *2014-01-09* It worked well before now, but recently it has black screen and an add at the bottom which requires me to press on it. Stop these annoying adds, please! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2023-06-10* Dictionary function was nothing special but adequate. Advertising was so painful I deleted for another dictionary. Dev team, you have a lot of work to do ### 1/5 — Unprovideful help *2020-07-06* Once again ### 1/5 — Ad filled *2019-07-16* This could be a good dictionary but really it’s full of ads - find something else. ### 1/5 — Sad *2019-05-23* I was very disappointed with the quality of the app is was depressing ### 1/5 — No response from customer service *2018-06-01* Pronunciation nonfunctional. Customer service doesn’t respond. ### 1/5 — Thumbs down .. if i could give no star i would *2017-05-15, version 18.1* Wow not even "привет" before it required me to spend money. What a joke.. as if the ads for the dating site weren't bad enough ### 1/5 — Cheating to pay double *2016-01-23, version 15.2* Hi, One year ago I paid to remove the advertisements from the app. Now I can see the ad again and suggestion to pay to remove it. What is the ....? Why? Really, I like the app but I don't like to be cheated. ### 1/5 — Not bed but intrusive advertisement are annoying *2015-05-15* Can't switch off annoying advertisements ### 1/5 — Рекламные видео как на ютюбе невозможно пропустить *2014-11-21* Why you don't publish comments?) ### 1/5 — Tried it. *2014-10-05* While travelling in Russia tried this app. 1 Works only if you have internet 2 Does not store any phrases. 3 Keeps taking you to " purchase Pro Version". Even before you've had an opportunity to sufficiently try it. I did not have a good experience ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-01-15* Very helpful! ### 5/5 — 很好用 *2018-02-11* 喜欢 ### 5/5 — This is very helpful *2017-12-29, version 8.2* Thank you, the best one ### 5/5 — 리뷰 *2015-05-01* 구매목록지워주세요 ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2014-11-19* I have used this app for years and as a linguist I have never tired of it! A remarkable vocabulary base and anyone wanting to improve their Russian vocabulary would enjoy and benefit from these language trainers - the ones in other languages are equally good. John Gillespie ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-05-10* This dictionary performs quite well; I haven't found a word that it doesn't have! I also love that you can use it without the use of internet. There are flashcards and a good phrase book. This dictionary is as good as my Oxford! ### 5/5 — Indispensable for simultaneous interpretering *2014-04-28* The offline capabilities of this app make it indispensable for me when I am sitting in a booth without internet, interpreting. It's so easy to use that I can continue interpreting even while looking up a term. The translations do require someone with good knowledge of the language, though, to choose the correct term. Nevertheless, it's an excellent app and all the other translators are now installing it. ### 5/5 — Good dictionary. *2014-03-02* the best what I found in iTunes. ### 5/5 — Reverse again! *2014-01-07* Coll app!! ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-12-27* Really enjoy this App. Also nice games to improve vocabulary and world of the day.
