Scots Dictionary for Schools Reviews

English to Scots?!

Being able to find Scots words by search on the English word seems like a fundamental feature that’s sadly missing.

Not good at all don’t get it

Not good

Mental one that

It’s mental

Nae to shabby

Great wee hing

Much better!

The changes in the latest update make a BIG difference. It’s much easier to follow the entries now. Loving the random word feature too 👍

Noo pall

Braw app fur the bairns and weans

Useful app for schools (weans and bairns and language enthusiasts).

Poor

Good idea very poorly executed. If the intention is to broaden the use of the Scots language then a much broader spectrum of words is required than that on offer. One way search only. Scots to English. Why no reverse search function? Enter a word not in the dictionary and there is no response. The page stays where it is with no message explaining why. This app has a very long way to go to make it worthwhile.
