Another "Can't find it, use or delete it" review. One review says that it is a web page. Not an app. Which makes sense as it's not listed anywhere on my device. But makes no sense as in why did it need to be "downloaded"? It does not show a link....
Please feel free to enlighten me as to how to use. But I do not see the publisher answering the other 'can't find, use or delete" reviews. I would gladly like to change my rating. Hate to be negative about someone's hard work. Kind of frustrating.

Danny 3xd RunsWith Scissors, 2019-06-26Expected it to actually BE a dictionary, not a come-on to buy one.
The Android version works very well.
