User reviews

Looks very promising…

I contacted the developer. They will fix the “free” or limited use mode on the next release. The output is super well organized and lookups are very intuitive.

Looks very promising…

I can’t find a way to contact the developer for support. I haven’t purchased monthly unlimited access since I just wanted to test drive first. It seems that you can only use it the first day. After that it counts each character entered as a search, so one cannot type in a whole word. Oh well back to hard copy.
