The App completely not compatible with iOS 8

nikography on

This App has never been updated since 2012. The developer must have bankrupted and has no resource to update for compatibility for iOS 6, 7 and 8. Do not paid for this App.

Good

KB Stephen on

Give a few examples of how the word is used in sentences will be better.

Maw Sayar on

Clear explaination but lack of example to show correct usage and together with Theasurus will be the best.
