### 4/5 — Good app but not fully compatible with voiceover

*2022-06-27*

I love this free app that I proceed to buy the version with audio pronunciation, only to find the compatibility with voiceover is not impressive, especially the pronunciation section and the setting. If this areas are fixed, it will be flawless.

### 4/5 — Good App.serves the Purpose

*2019-02-10*

This is a good app, certainly needs an improvement but serves the purpose. Should include Thesauruses as well within the word search to make it a comprehensive solution.

**Developer response:** It does include synonyms and related words (as a thesaurus). Use Search instead of Lookup to search for a word matching a pattern.

### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2017-12-26*

Your app is definitely awesome but I have a suggestion:
If you could merge all these dictionaries(chambers thesaurus, chambers dic and wordweb) into one one solid app, would be lot better, because switching between these apps are a little frustrating.

**Developer response:** Switching should be easy using the X-Ref (books) button in each app

### 4/5 — Parveen

*2015-05-12*

Good app my husband suggested

### 3/5 — Loudness

*2015-02-07*

The audio could be a bit louder. Could hardly hear it even when the headphone's loudness is at 60%. I'm forced to turn it all the way upto 100%

### 5/5 — Word web ...

*2014-09-24*

It's one of those applications that's a must have.

### 3/5 — Looking for phrases and idioms

*2014-05-18*

Don't you provide phrases and idioms? Whenever I search for a phrase or idioms it's not devise.

**Developer response:** The latest version does add a lot of phrasal verbs and compounds

### 5/5 — PERFECTION, FLAWLESS, ne plus ultra

*2014-05-05*

OK: PERFECTION, FLAWLESS, ne plus ultra

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for the audio version - it doesn’t work

*2023-09-03*

The app is great but don’t waste your money actually paying for the audio version. It just gives me a message saying my sound is off and I need to turn off silent mode. My sound is not off and silent mode is not on. I contacted the developer and they just repeated the same words that were in the error message. I asked for my money back and they said they couldn’t do that and I had to contact Apple directly but I have no idea how. I don’t like having my money stolen from me by someone claiming to provide a service that they cannot provide.

### 1/5 — No Spelling, same as the dictionary!!

*2020-09-17*

I don’t understand why is not working, but I bought the app in order to add the audio version and hear the words how they spell it right. Is not functioning and is very disappointing. When first try to use it I thought maybe you are working on it. Is been now 3 weeks and nothing has changed. 

I would like a refund please.

### 1/5 — No sound in the app at all

*2018-07-28*

Pronunciation buttons don’t work! All sound settings checked, other apps work properly, but this one is silent.

### 1/5 — Can't play audio anymore?

*2018-07-07*

Bin auf dem aktuelle iOS 11.4 und kann mir keine Aussprache anhören. Angeblich sei das iPad auf lautlos gestellt, ist es aber nicht.

### 1/5 — Absolutely stupid thing

*2017-12-11*

Absolutely stupid thing
Total wast of money

### 1/5 — No Sound!

*2017-03-16*

I bought this app so I could hear the pronunciation of words but there is no sound. It tells me to turn off silent mode but this is already done and the volume is turned up! What is going on? If this cannot be fixed I would like my money back!

**Developer response:** If you still have problems please contact us with details of your iOS version and device.

### 1/5 — To swap

*2011-10-31, version 1.60*

Hi dear,
Is there any chance to swap this apps with any other english dictionary because I'm not enjoying this apps properly.

### 2/5 — Anglais audio

*2011-06-10*

Bon dictionnaire mais pour l audio un desastre en raison de voix métalliques

### 2/5 — Not as good

*2011-03-17*

The lady's pronunciation is actually British but the man's is american. Very disappointed :(

### 3/5 — No IPA

*2019-02-15*

I need IPA, and I don’t read K.K.
Also, I think the developer even misspelled ‘dictionary’.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-05-21*

The best app out there, ad free. And super easy to use

### 5/5 — Super — seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt

*2024-10-04*

Diese App habe ich gefühlt schon so lange, wie es das iPhone gibt und sie wird immer noch gepflegt!

Man kann sehr flexibel nach Wörtern suchen. Zu den meisten Einträgen gibt es Aufnahmen in britischem und amerikanischem Englisch. Das sind richtige Aufnahmen und nicht synthetisch erzeugtes Kauderwelsch.

### 5/5 — The best!

*2021-05-08*

I found this to be the best one. Precise pronunciations with audio. Even includes accents. A must have.

### 5/5 — Best dictionary app!

*2021-01-02*

This is the best dictionary app for multiple reasons; I will give you three- pronunciation guide without diacritics, simple interface without word of the day and other nonsense, audio pronunciation in US and UK English.

### 5/5 — Perfect for me.

*2020-11-04*

I needed a simple to use app to pronounce difficult words. Found it with this, absolutely perfect. Very quick word search on my I phone and many English accent pronunciations rather than American accent pronunciations.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-09-21*

This is a great app. A good contender in a crowded AppStore

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-11-18*

One of the best dictionary app available. Also the dev keeps the app updated with new features.

### 5/5 — !

*2017-10-23*

best dic app ever

### 5/5 — Super

*2015-08-07*

Die App ist super, gute Erklärungen und Beispiele. In einem Artikel kann man auf ein unbekanntes Wort gedrückt halten und die App springt in die entsprechende Bedeutung. Die jeweiligen Synonyme, Antonyme sowie ggf. Verben, Substantive oder Adjektive sind auch aufdeführt. Sehr gelungen!

### 5/5 — Best e-dictionary

*2015-06-04*

Used it originally on my PC, then bought the iPhone version. The dictionary with audio is very useful and searching is straight forward. I like the feature that any word in an entry can be searched too, which is very convenient. All in all, this is the best English dictionary I've ever found from Apple App Store. Highly recommended!
