2024-08-03	Da*****	Very helpful, and it has unusual words as well as phrases and expressions - and if you want to, historical examples of its usage. You can choose English or Welsh as the operative language (but all grammatical abbreviations are in Welsh regardless).

2022-11-10	Ma*****	Good app. I don't like it asking me about language of interface EVERY TIME I LAUNCH the app. Plus it fails to open keyboard from time to time. As an improvement please allow A COPY FROM CLIPBOARD & SEARCH feature. There should be a few useful options to toggle on/off in settings. From a learner point of view, it would be helpful to hear pronounciation and have a possibility to copy & review some of new words. This app has great potential. ThQ

2022-01-21	Bi*****	The download is failing, usually after 60%. The message about the failed download is hidden behind another dialogue box until I select “remote” in that second dialog box. Anyone who doesn't select “remote” will get an unexplained crash. I hope you can fix this, because I've used the app on a previous phone and I liked it.
