## Review summary

Dictionary Pro is praised for its rich, multi-language dictionary content, user-friendly design, and useful extras like grammar lessons and games. Users appreciate its offline functionality and cross-device syncing. However, several reviews mention annoyances like broken internal links, interface responsiveness issues, especially toggling between sections, and lack of audio pronunciations offline. Integration with other apps for quick word lookups is missing, and the startup flow could be improved by starting in search mode. Despite these, users generally regard it as a valuable and reliable dictionary app.

### Pros

- Comprehensive dictionary with extensive definitions, including thesaurus, translations, and grammar resources.
- Cross-platform availability with progress synchronization across devices and web.
- Offline mode availability, which is important for users with limited internet access.
- User-friendly interface with additional features like word games, daily articles, and language lessons.
- No ads in Pro version and fair pricing without subscriptions.

### Cons

- Occasional broken links that redirect to external browsers instead of opening inside the app.
- Issues switching between Definition, Thesaurus, and Translation sections; button responsiveness problems.
- Lack of offline audio pronunciation functionality.
- No seamless integration to look up words directly from other apps or documents; does not support displaying over other apps.
- App startup defaults to home screen instead of search mode; requires multiple clicks to start searching.
