very impressive offline dictionary. very in-depth definition and explanation of words from many languages. has dark mode and easy to navigate. includes voice for pronunciation of words examples and definition. it does have ads but you have the option to subscribe yearly for $3.99 or a one-time purchase for a lifetime. the lifetime purchase is somewhat exorbitant but well worth it. highly recommended.

A ridiculous number of trackers, 20 or more. I have apps that let me know how many trackers are on my phone, their names too. I uninstall from the Google Play store. There is another dictionary called "English Dictionary"; it has no trackers, plus it is straightforward to use, no "Word of the Day, or other nonsense. The other English Dictionary is available in the Play store; it's the one with a British flag on a book with a green-blue (aqua) background. I'm keeping that one.

Seems rather amateurish. When you enter a word, several definitions appear, each preceded by a star much bigger than the text; there's no option to change this to something less distracting or repetitious. The definitions look like they're from different sources (some are capitalized, some aren't), and there's an annoying, time-wasting redundancy between them. Perhaps you could study some good existing dictionary examples, rather than feeling you must "reinvent the wheel"?

Looking good so far, better than other offline dictionary apps I have tried. Takes up a lot of space but I suppose that's inevitable! But... Nothing happens when I tap on a definition in the list - it "acknowledges" my tap but nothing. So, "Search inside definitions and examples" - how? I can't! Is this a bug? I thought I could tap a word within a definition, eg it says "See also crocus" but doesn't take you to 'crocus', you must type the word in the search field. And... It would be useful if the keyboard opened automatically without having to select the search field (maybe as an option). This alone wouldn't drop a star, though.

I'm about to uninstall this app because it bombards me with inescapable ads in a row. I just shut down the app, earlier, because I looked a word up, and had to x-ray of 3 or 4 ads, before getting to read my definition. Then I started the app up again. Got one definition, tried to look up another immediately after, and, again, had to quit the app because ads won't allow me to see my definition. It's a decent dictionary, but I'll install a different dictionary app.

I've been using this app for 5 years and I love everything about it. it's super helpful and free. Also the text to audio feature greatly assists with pronunciations. Trust me, it's user friendly and you won't feel stuporous trying to navigate. 😉
