Had for years, but for some reason, it's only wickipedia . Wikipedia is good, but I look for information on many items from the Bible. The Bible dic is gone. Also, the thesaurus and other sources are gone. Very unhappy. I had a paid version, uninstalling and reinstalling, in an attempt to activate other publications, and I now have ads again. Being retired on SS, I have no use for anything other than I discover I truly need. Which is little more than food, so any ad is only an annoyance.

Guys with Wikipedia on top! It's not app's fault, it's yours, lol. Press the "Folder" button in the dictionary -> you will see the list of your dict bases. Now see the triangles to the right? Well, this is the arrow to move the current database up. You're welcome :D The dictionary is great. I wish I knew how to create a .dict file out of the words I use at work to add it to my app!

I like that if you copy any word within the meanings / synonyms provided by the dictionary, it'll paste itself onto the search bar directly, and you can easily search for its meaning there. It's such a small function, but I really love it. Also, the option of integrating multiple dictionaries and wikipedia search all of it is simply very useful! edit: that "copy and paste directly on the search bar" option is called "word jump." I just read the actual term under the app info!

The ads block 95% of the pop up window while reading, rendering the dictionary useless. Great feature, but awful ad placement. The app becomes totally useless. There is no resize option for the pop up window. There is no paid version or any option to remove the ads. Such a shame. If there was an option to remove the ads I would gladly pay for it, but as it is now the app is unusable.

I don't know what is wrong with all the previous users, but I find the app very easy to install every time I change phones. It first asks me to install an offline dictionary, which I do from the provided link, then it functions flawlessly. Thanks for your work! EDIT: Removing a star now. The wikipedia results show at the top of the result lists, making me scroll all the time. I can't find a way to sort the results or to deactivate wikipedia.

I used to use this with moon reader, rated 5 stars. it worked flawlessly, opened with two presses and returned to what I was reading no hassle, Everytime. Didn't feel like I left the a E book app I was in, it was seamless and useful, but since reinstalling it does not do what it used to. I don't mind installing ten different things initially if it makes it work when I want it. It doesn't work now. Unusable, can't find anything that does what it used to . So disappointing
