User Reviews/Opinion:
- The Best Dictionary As a student it really helped me alot to get to know about new words. The best thing about this dictionary is that it works offline while others do charge for this feature. The quiz section is also awesome. Just one thing I want is that if it would have been possible to sync it with Google or any other services so that one can get the favorite words which was saved, if someone clear the data unknowingly….
- The app says I lack sufficient storage when I have 64 gb installed both on phone and SD card. It won’t let me search any words with the new update. The whole thing doesn’t work.
- After the last update i don’t know what you guys were trying to do it has actually destroyed this app. It is no longer what it was before the last update. It takes so long to load the definition of the word that one would prefer googling it and so many annoying ads you click exit you get add you are typing the word you get ads in between. Doing business is good but destroying your base to create a palace has never helped anyone so just fix these problems or there are many players in the market
