### 2/5 — 新版不能收藏单词了

*2026-08-24, version 11.3.2*

新版不知为什么不能收藏单词，只能收藏例句。首页打开没有app介绍页的功能at all

### 3/5 — 广告太多了

*2026-08-20, version 11.2.12*

来回切换一下也得看广告，要逐字学习来回切界面的时候更甚

### 5/5 — 人情化

*2026-06-24, version 11.2.2*

操作简单快捷

### 5/5 — 希望增加单词本widget

*2026-06-23, version 11.2.2*

单词本功能很好用，但是因为没有快捷键所以经常忘记背单词。希望加入一个widget页面可以直接进入单词本学习

### 5/5 — 贊太棒啦！希望（繼續保持下去喔⋯⋯ ）

*2026-06-20, version 11.2.2*

### 4/5 — 学习单词

### 5/5 — youdao

*2026-06-12, version 11.2.0*

这个app可以告诉你这个字是什么意思我现在考试都考及格了这个特别好用还给你视频看看这什么意思

### 1/5 — 妈的，广告越来越恶心

*2026-06-01, version 11.1.20*

你要营收加广告不说你什么，问题你开屏广告弄个摇一摇跳转，烦的不行，吃相也不用这么难看吧。越来越垃圾，已卸载。

### 1/5 — Ads That Hijack Your Phone

*2026-05-31, version 11.1.20*

This app appears to be deliberately engineered to trigger accidental redirects. The shake-to-open ad is so absurdly sensitive that simply picking up the phone launches a third-party app. Users shouldn’t have to dodge ads just to access the app they intentionally opened. One of the most manipulative ad experiences I’ve seen.

### 1/5 — What is happening

*2026-07-31, version 11.2.8*

Only one search bar after I clicked the app. Other functions are available but are inaccessible in the app. Where did all the UI go? Super disappointed by the quality of the App!

Please fix it for iPad mini users!!!

### 1/5 — 流氓开屏广告

*2026-06-30, version 11.2.2*

流氓开屏广告烦死人，手机看英文文章碰到不会的单词，打开词典查一下，还得等几秒，我都忘了要查的词怎么拼写了
