MDict is praised for being a helpful, fast dictionary with a clean UI and cross‑platform presence, but suffers from recurring crashes, unreliable floating auto lookups, weak shortcuts and lookup workflow on Mac, grouping/backups issues, and audio problems after updates. Users also request features like multi-dictionary browsing, dark mode, and font support.

- Good cross-platform presence (iOS & Mac) with ongoing updates.
- Positive audio support improvements and working sounds in updates.
- General positive reception and usefulness across reviews.

### Cons

- Floating window auto look-up not refreshing when copying from other apps.
- Lack of keyboard shortcuts and cumbersome word lookup workflow on Mac.
- Dictionary grouping/backups issues (default group invalid, re-group after updates, backup/restore cfg).
