Dictionary?
Why is this called a dictionary? I asked for a simple definition and list of the word I sought with a nation after the word! Then a national flag in a column to the right. How is that a definition? All the notification choices that came before I even got that far scared me which leaves me with one choice, abandoning this bizarre app for less demanding and more productive, simple to use Dictionary’s.
What is going on
Hey. What’s up with this dictionary. I have known this dictionary for years now to be so effective and good. But now most of the good features are gone. No audio Pronunciation anymore. I even thought the lite version is the problem. I upgraded with £3.99 or so. And yet it’s still not good enough anymore. What happened…????????
Good app
Good app
web version is better!
app is harder to use, web version is easier. where’s ‘word finder’ on the app? 😕
It just works
Why is a dictionary one of the best apps on the App Store?
Pretty good app
Helpful to improve vocabulary and culture 👌🏿
App not working
App loads but nothing appears! I used to use this all the time will switch to a reliable app
Add free upgrade function is not working
Add free upgrade hasn’t been moved to the new version and cannot be restored. Disappointing.
Word of the Day notifications not working
Great app but notifications aren’t working on iOS 16
