Review summary

Users find EBPocket Lite very useful and easy to use, especially for offline dictionary access, even with dictionaries unsupported by other apps. However, multiple reports highlight app crashes and failures to launch after updates, problems loading or managing dictionaries, slow performance, pop-up dictionary issues, and difficulties handling many dictionary files. Additionally, Android 6 upgrades cause problems with file path handling, deleting dictionary folders unexpectedly.

Cons

App crashes or fails to launch, especially after updates.
Pop-up dictionary feature does not work in some apps.
Issues with dictionary loading or management after updates.
Slow performance, especially on older devices.
Difficulties adding many local dictionary files.
Problems with file path handling causing dictionary folder deletion after Android 6 upgrade.

2023-02-09	ri*****	Finally it works after moving all local dictionaries to the original data path. //Oh no. All dictionaries can't be loaded after the latest update, though they have been added to the new dictionary manager. //Can't believe it's still maintained. The pop-up dictionary doesn't work within 読書尚友. Please add custom font support. Thanks.

2020-08-02	La*****	I found an error that when I import stardict file(contain .dict, .ifo, .idx, .syn file) then it doesn't return any results(although it imports successfully). Please fix, I need to import Japanese-English-Japanese stardict.

2016-08-19	A *****	After upgrading to Android 6, the dictionaries folder keep getting deleted. I suspect this app doesn't properly handle file paths on Android 6, and mistakenly deleted the directory.
