    Comprehensive and easy to use.
  • Portrait mode on iPad is a bit wonky

    Generally works well in landscape mode on my iPad, but it’s not fully responsive in portrait mode, where buttons can overlap and either be hard to hit precisely or may conceal each other.

    I wasn’t able to find a lot of words in this dictionary. I had to go back to google to find them.... weak.

    There used to be some illustrating pictures in the older versions. Unfortunately, they are all removed in the new version.

  • Just good

    It is a good dictionary, but nothing more than that. I’m still believing that this app does not justifies its cost, but as I’m an English learner, I need it. Otherwise, you can still look up the words in google and save your money. Additionally, IOS added this same dictionary in its code, so if you select a word in any app and press “look up”, you have your definition ready to go. So please don’t spend your money in this dictionary unless you really need it.

    This is a paid product - I do not want to see a nag screen to give a 5 star review every day that I use it!
