Rubbish dictionary
Synonyms aren’t linked to definitions
Good dictionary; audio does not work; very poor support
The audio stopped working after my upgrade to iPhone 12, and it never worked in my iPad. Emailed the support team at Japan. It feels they don’t really care and there is no urgency. Otherwise a good dictionary; but, due to the above experience the overall rating is poor.
Doesn’t work and support is gone
This app does not work properly on my iPad Pro. The audio works but very rarely. My mail to the developer monokakido.jp could not be delivered due to the issues on their server (poorly programmed PHP?). I want my money back.
Good Dictionary & Thesaurus, But...
The Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus has a very good coverage of English language words, however, the app itself seems to be lacking in the claimed functionality. Firstly, there is no ‘help’ or ‘FAQs’ available to consult. Furthermore, despite downloading the 330MB+ Headwords File, none of the pronunciation features work either. Looking at the Version History, the app hasn’t been touched in at least three years and despite Apple saying it has compatibility with my iPad (a 2020 iPad Pro), it appears to lack the functionality described.
outstanding dictionary and thesaurus
Very fast, extremely easy to use and exceptionally comprehensive. The audio headwords were an unexpected bonus. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Only wished i would have discovered it years ago.
Hmmmn
So I finally caved and bought this. I had been contemplating it for a while. At £4.99 it isn't cheap at all but I'm really glad I did. Just like the previous reviewer remarked, I have also downloaded the headwords but cannot find the option to use them. I do not think a lot of thought went into making the option to use the headwords easy to find, when this app was being built. SOS! Please.
Great - full dictionary in portable form
It's surprisingly hard to find this official app in the AppStore, but I'm glad I did because it's excellent. Latest version adds audio headwords - or apparently does. I have downloaded them but can't find any words with one, unless the option to play them is incredibly well hidden? Minor bug is that tapping on pronunciation strings opens words using the letters in the underlying don't which is useless and confusing! Should instead open the pronunciation guide.
有新app替代
这是个词典，但这是个旧app，很久没有更新了，语音包安装不容易成功。可以在物书堂的app：dictionaries 里找到与这个一样的词典，而且价格一样。
关于app界面为日语和语音包无法下载或不发音的问题
语言设置：苹果设置——Collins——语言——英语 语音包： 1. 如遇到无法下载，可能是网络原因，尝试多下载几次。 2. 如遇点击播放却不发音，可尝试在app内删除已下载的语音包，然后重新下载。 个人遇到的问题，尝试以上办法有效，望有帮助。
