Overall, users appreciate Instant Dictionary for its accurate, detailed definitions and simple, fast interface that aids reading and writing. The word history and phonetic guides enhance its usefulness. However, multiple users report that it doesn't work in PDFs or Reading View modes, limiting usage for e-book readers. Synonyms are only available via text selection, and some desire independent synonym search. Performance issues and limited language options were noted, along with feature requests such as dark mode and copying meanings. Despite minor drawbacks, it is highly recommended for quick, effective word definitions online. Pros
- Provides accurate and detailed definitions, helpful for writers and learners.
- Simple and seamless user interface with quick access to word meanings through double click or search.
- Includes useful features like phonetics, word usage examples, and word history tracking.
- Works well in most browsers and makes studying or reading more efficient.
- Offers simpler meanings and explanations superior to other dictionary extensions.
Cons
- Cannot define words in PDFs, EPUBs, or Reading View, limiting usability for e-book readers.
- Synonyms only appear when selecting text, no option to search synonyms independently.
- Some users experience occasional slow performance or incomplete functionality, especially noted in certain regions like China.
- Limited language support despite claims; currently only English (US) is accessible.
- Needs additional features like dark mode and copy-to-clipboard for word meanings.

| 2025-01-28 | Da***** | | This is very good. Thank you! |
| 2025-01-11 | Ho***** | | A writer's best friend! This extension has accurate definitions, and is extremely helpful to instantly define words while reading anything online! However, it is a shame that synonyms only show up when you select text, as opposed to searching up a word yourself. As a writer, it's vital that I am able to search for synonyms as I am writing, but they do not show up if I search for the word on my own. |

| 2024-04-06 | Me***** | | A great extension for everyone... I believe it is superior to Google extensions because it offers simpler meanings, displays phonetics, and illustrates word usage rules within sentences. |
| 2024-03-16 | Qu***** | | Hello developer I trust you're doing well! Currently, I'm exploring opportunities to grow my business by investing in Chrome extensions. Your extension has caught my attention, and I am genuinely interested in discussing the possibility of acquiring it. We can discuss the price and complete the transaction securely through a reputable escrow services (www.escrow.com or cryptoexchange.com). Google supports the smooth transfer of extension ownership from one account to another, ensuring your gmail account remains unaffected.

| 2024-02-05 | ***** | | I like its simplicity a lot, and want to keep it as my default dictionary but please add an option to define words on pdfs. I read books in pdf format a lot, it'll be really helpful to add just an option that one can enable and allow if it'll need any additional permission to access the pdf file, also add an option to access pages in reading mode. The biggest utilisation of dictionary is literally in reading mode. |
