## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not good at all don’t get it

*2023-06-02, version 2.1*

Not good

### 1/5 — Noo pall

*2022-01-21, version 2.0*

No

### 1/5 — Poor

*2021-01-28, version 2.0*

Good idea very poorly executed. If the intention is to broaden the use of the Scots language then a much broader spectrum of words is required than that on offer.  One way search only. Scots to English. Why no reverse search function? Enter a word not in the dictionary and there is no response. The page stays where it is with no message explaining why. This app has a very long way to go to make it worthwhile.

### 3/5 — English to Scots?!

*2024-06-17, version 2.1*

Being able to find Scots words by search on the English word seems like a fundamental feature that’s sadly missing.

### 4/5 — Nae to shabby

*2023-05-30, version 2.1*

Great wee hing

### 4/5 — A wee bit sanitized

*2021-05-26*

Lovely price.  Good that it’s available. 

Some of the definitions are a bit gentle compared to how I’ve heard them used…as for “git” or “ned.”

Acch then, it’s for the schools.

### 4/5 — Scots Dictionary for Schools

*2020-08-26, version 1.0*

Great idea, well executed but vocabulary could be a lot larger

*2023-05-30, version 2.1*

It’s mental

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2022-08-24, version 2.1*

The changes in the latest update make a BIG difference. It’s much easier to follow the entries now. Loving the random word feature too 👍
