User reviews

Genius

The ability to swipe and quickly glance at the meanings of the same word in several dictionaries at once is terrific. I use this virtually every day! Coming to the gripes. This app isn’t Mac compatible which is such a let down. Secondly, Merriam Webster example sentences never show up in the app. They just appear blank. Thirdly, as the other user commented, a word history section would be terrific to have.

Immensely helpful

I found it immensely helpful. Thanks. Two suggestions: a user should be able to add more online dictionaries, and second, it should have a word history section.

could you…

could you make an in-app option to ignore the dark mode color theme?

When I set the phone in the dark mode, the dictionary web pages in your app looks really weird because of some contrast problem related to the dark mode color scheme.

I'd like to nullify the effect of system dark mode in your app, keep it in the bright mode.

Thanks!

You are the best!

Would be even better to have it on iPad
