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reviews praise the detailed, learner-friendly definitions and offline use, but critique paywalls, incomplete content, outdated updates, and lack of dark mode.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 The app seems outdated and less compatible with newer iOS.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App appears outdated and has compatibility issues with newer iOS versions, including infrequent updates and download/purchase problems.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.

I don’t understand why the human look at everything as money, why u locked up all the options for payment!?

I used the print version of this dictionary all the time and was happy to find this digital version. Certain things could be better, like maybe a dark mode. But these aren’t deal breakers for me, and I still use the app frequently. I am concerned it will stop functioning with iOS 26, since that will be a major overhaul to the operating system. This app hasn’t been updated in years.
