Review summary

Users appreciate this ad-free, offline-capable dictionary app with a minimalist interface and strong search options including wildcards and anagrams. It is praised for being fast and user-friendly, particularly nostalgic for Windows Phone users. Common issues include missing example sentences, UI/layout glitches, and less intuitive autocomplete features. Users request the return of synonyms and antonyms sections and suggest improvements such as thesaurus integration, better exit options, and enhanced word usage examples to further enrich the experience.

Pros

No advertisements, providing an uninterrupted user experience.
Offline functionality, allowing usage without internet connection.
Simple, minimalistic, and clean user interface reminiscent of the Windows Phone version.
Powerful search features including wildcards and anagrams, helpful for word puzzles and exploration.
Fast response time with useful features like clickable words within definitions and customizable themes including dark mode.

Cons

Lack of example sentences to illustrate word usage, requested by multiple users.
Some UI issues such as layout glitches, lack of spacing between multiple definitions, and stuttering animations on app launch.
Autocomplete search and input field usability could be improved; for example, cursor not automatically focused in lookup field.
Synonyms and antonyms sections seem to have been removed or not consistently present after updates.
Need for additional features like thesaurus, exit app functionality, and enhanced word usage examples including pictures.

2024-11-16	N *****	(2020 installed) Amazing search options using wildcards. I use this app every day (& on my laptop). Excellent if you're not sure how to spell a word and for exploring possibilities (it can generate anagrams) when doing word puzzles. I use it heaps. No ads. (2024: still using it heaps. Excellent app.)

2024-10-28	Ta*****	I am using this dictionary happily since last five years. Before there was synonyms and Antonym in definition section, now it doesn't appear anymore in my android phone. What happened? Some update glitch? Please guide. 😉

2024-01-09	JY*****	Hands down to the one of the best dictionary app I've come across. Been using this app for an year and it works great. Given that it's free, it has no annoying ads, minimal and it works offline.

2023-11-07	Ed*****	I just want to say thank you to the developer of this dictionary app, providing it for free and without advertisement. The dictionary is simple to use, sleek, black and white by default, and with big font size. No distractions, only focusing on the English words. The quirky word suggestions (renewed every time you use it) are interesting too. This app deserves more.

2023-07-31	do*****	Love the app! Simple-to-use and quite informative. Wide range of definitions. Response time is fast. Has voice and dark mode setting. And, here's a clincher. No ads! Doesn't use much memory. Wish it had examples of word usage in sentences. Explicit words are terminology could be expanded. Possibly, add pictures. But overall, I think it's a great dictionary app. You won't know unless you try it. Highly recommended!

2022-08-16	Ju*****	P.S. Do a thesaurus too mate 😉Very nice creation. Offline too. Dark theme + accent color palette 🎨 customization. Can click on any word in description to go to that word. One suggestion weekend be to add EXIT App feature. Either by pressing home then back button or in top_right menu. Otherwise the back button keeps going back. No ads or nagware. Very nice developer, check his other apps too. Thanks very much.

2022-08-15	An*****	Best dictionary app that I have been using since Windows phone days... Simple UI, clickable results, fluid flow of words, good synonyms, complex words as the background are certain great features of this app. I would love to recommend this as a basic dictionary app for all students and language enthusiasts.

2022-07-27	Ak*****	So much nostalgic. I used this dictionary on my Windows Phone. Now its on Android. So good to see efforts of developer. Suggestion: Please provide some space or indexing between multiple definitions of a word. It feels confusing to see all definitions of word in continued sentences.

2022-03-15	Лу*****	This Dictionary looks simplified in comparison to other dictionaries, but don't. Lack of organizing the words. Adding other words makes it difficult the study and takes time to learn. There's no setting to hide it. Lack of example sentences and also not completed, which is a dependent clause. It uses a lot of words for explaining, which is difficult to understand or maybe unusable words for good communication in a certain situation.
