Does not work on my iMac with MacOS Sierra 10.12.4. In fact I cannot say truly whether or not it does work, since there are no instructions associated with it as to how to use it. Do I select a word? Click in a word? Right click? Middle button click? Turn some option on? It was a waste of my time trying to get it to work...don't waste your time.

The English definitions are still a bit flaky sometimes, but mostly good and occasionally excellent. The people putting this thing together are obviously smart, capable and ambitious. It's good now, and will get better month by month in front of our very eyes.
