### 5/5 — It works for me

*2025-01-08*

Possibly the one-star reviewers would have better luck not on dark mode?

### 1/5 — Major Problem!

*2024-02-21*

The font of the words on the lists and the background are both black so you can’t see any of them. The fonts just need to be changed to another color like white.

### 1/5 — Total rip off

*2023-01-31*

Paid for and Downloaded the app, there’s nothing there.  Like the app works, you open it, no entries, no etymology nothing.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2022-03-06*

Breaks down the language into grammatical sections. Easy to use and very informative. Thankyou
