Text size too small

AsianTarHeel on

Speed is better than before. But I’ve been using the web version on iPhone browser, and the text font size is big enough. Now coming back to use iPhone app, found the text font size too small. Need to be able to adjust the font size to my preference.

synonym of the day widget does not seem to be working

Annoying ads

PetyrShelby on

I had been quite content with Dictionary and decided to purchase the ads-free and offline packages. Everything worked fine until a few recent updates which have allowed ads to creep back. I have tried to restore purchases, but nothing changed. Hope the developers could detect and fix this bug.

No upgrades

一個輕度使用者 on

I love the content. However, why should I buy the upgrades again on my iPhone since I’ve purchased them on my iPad?

Something noisy

Anderson7533967 on

Hey, I really like the synonyms and that’s why I paid it to upgrade of ur service. But something annoy me I have to tell u. Firstly, the synonyms list does not separate with squads, which the website’s version doing it well. It makes me spend more time to find what I want when the word has a bunch of synonyms. Secondly and the most annoying one, when I swipe down some buttons, like pronounce, show spell, etc., show out and vice versa. Please firm it and make it be a smaller one, or put it on the down of the screen and make it transparently. To conclude, I know u guys have the ability to make a fancy apps, but if possible please firm the buttons and keep more space for the results spaces. Thank you. Sincerely.

Word origin problem

謝約翰 on

Where should I find the word origin section in this app after the latest update? Bring it back, will you ?

iPad version plz

y.Sponge on

Could you please develop iPad version?

Tiny suggestion

Desk shel on

I enjoy reading the articles posted on the app. However, every time when I’m done looking up a word I don’t understand in the article with the app, it jumps back to the main page. This is a bit inconvenient because I have to find the article and scroll back to where I was again and again😅. I think a “touch to look up definition” or any better solution you can think of would be a nice feature. p.s. I purchased the power pack and so far everything is amazing😉!
