Add British pronunciations?
I really enjoy using the app, it would just be greatly appreciated to have british pronunciations rather than just the american since sometimes they can vary greatly and I have trouble with my pronunciation as it is. Thanks.
Well my, my, my.
What a fantastic dictionary!
Needs update
The latest update was 7 months ago and this app keeps crashing in iOS 13 system.
Great dictionary but…
Would like an UI option for the search bar and mic buttons to be nearer the bottom of the screen so I don’t have to stretch my thumbs.
