A real *Shabdkosh*

I like it very much

An abomination

I re-installed it again today and realised why I had uninstalled it previously. Coz it never works and keeps crashing - every single time. The pinnacle of incompetence.

Update needed urgently

This wonder app for hindi speaking people learning english needs urgent update to keep it alive as it’s force closing itself. Then 5 stars and renewal of Pro subscription 👍

Very useful

I have been using English-Hindi-English dictionary. I highly recommend it.

Not working properly

I don't know why this app is not working properly. Whenever I opened this, it shut down automatically. Please fix this issue. As I am a student and need a good dictionary, this is not expected from Shabdkosh.

Need lot of improvement

Not easy to access. Back button doesn’t take to last page😂

Perhaps useful

At this moment can’t say much as today only got the App and now to continue for a few days and afterwards full comment.

App Crash

Frequent crashes on ios is irritating and renders it useless. Kindly fix the issue

Random Crash

App is crashing randomly. Several times it crashes continuously.

Worst

Giving blank replies

Fix this as soon as possible
Thanks…

Worst app

Wrost app don’t work properly after 3 4 search didn’t open

Not as claimed. Just another lame glossary.

The absence of any good Hindi-English dictionary in app form shows the utter disregard of Indians for their own language and their heading rush to speak only the language of the colonialists.
This one claims to “Provide a comprehensive language reference,” but that is either a blatant lie or the authors don’t understand what one might be. A true dictionary should at the very east mark word function (noun, VI, VT, adj, etc) and a comprehensive one should list synonyms, antonyms, etymolical derivation and related words, and provide usage examples. A comprehensive electronic version should provide internal hyperlinks.
This one does not of the above.
At best, one could call this app a comprehensive glossary. But for someone who wants a true dictionary, a glossary - being a long list of related terma and synonyms - is often more a hindrance than a help.
A dictionary list meanings in order of a words primary and most prominent meanings, through to the most obscure. That way, one is certain of the main meaning of a term from the beginning. With a long glossary list like what appears on shabdakosh, one is just left confused.

The Oxford Hindi dictionary of McGregor is the only one I’ve seen that has the apparatus of a true dictionary. Why they don’t produce an app version I’ll never know, except for the above mentioned fact that so few Hindi speakers seem to really care for their own language.

Do not work properly

NOT OFFLINE YET

They lied in their first caption itself "Free, Fast and Offline." It's not offline yet.
But other than that, I appreciate the effort to provide such a service of digitising the dictionaries of the Indian languages.

Please remove adds

I have subscribed the paid version but still viewing adds

Meaning of the word

Give the meaning of the word of the day rather than just an example sentence.

app improvement

pronunciation in written form was much more helpful, please include them again
