User Reviews

User reviews praise the detailed, learner-friendly definitions and offline use, but critique paywalls, incomplete content, outdated updates, and lack of dark mode. Content is gated behind purchase; many words are missing; some users report download issues after paying. The app seems outdated and less compatible with newer iOS. Overall, strong definitions and offline utility are offset by cost, coverage gaps, and compatibility concerns.
Pros
  • Detailed, clear, learner-friendly definitions with explanations and collocations.
  • Easy to understand definitions and helpful for expanding vocabulary.
  • Offline access works well, allowing use without an internet connection.
Cons
  • Content is heavily gated behind a purchase, with many common words locked and reports of paying yet not getting full access or facing download failures after purchase.
  • Incomplete word coverage; not all words are included and some expected terms are missing compared with the website.
  • App appears outdated and has compatibility issues with newer iOS versions, including infrequent updates and download/purchase problems.
  • Lack of dark mode and other modern UI features that users expect for a current app.

Cuando aprendí inglés, este diccionario fue mi salvación. Lo usé por mucho tiempo. Hoy quise descargarlo en mi celular y fue imposible, marca error y no me permite instalarlo en mi dispositivo. Me siento estafada.

I paid for a lifetime usage a few years ago. Then I can’t access the dictionary after I changed my iPhone

I spent money to purchase dictionary and once I do, the dictionary never downloads. I deserve a refund.
