Dictionaries

親のアカウントで購入して子供に使わせたいのだが、子供のアカウントで使おうとすると「App内課金が許可されていません」というダイアログが毎回毎回毎回毎回表示されて非常に邪魔。（当然ながら、子供のアカウントで課金を許可するわけがない） また辞書ごとに別々の単体アプリだったのが統合され、目的の辞書を開くのに余計なワンアクションが必要で、とても使い勝手が悪くなった。

Some users have reported here that dictionaries they've purchased have become unavailable to reinstall. I bought a Collins Spanish Dictionary from Cole Zhu Inc that had exactly the same interface as these ones from Monokakido. When I replaced my iPad and tried to access the app on my new iPad I got an error saying the app was "currently unavailable in your App Store." This is totally unacceptable for a dictionary app. I don't know if Monokakido changed its name from Cole Zhu Inc or bought the dictionary interface, but they should have given some thought to existing users. And SHAME on Apple for not standing by us and making sure that apps remain available to users who buy them. I'm totally disgusted after this experience. No wonder people don't want to pay for dictionary apps. It's really the worst kind of customer service, and it's about more than the money when it would be so easy for Apple to provide the app to people who paid for it.

過去に購入した、同社販売の単体辞書アプリの統合も可能なので、後に同社の他のアプリの購入を検討されている方は便利かと思います。

I wanted to buy it but noticed it works online. Why wouldn’t you add full offline support for this one? I read when I go somewhere and I won’t be able to listen examples only a word, why? I have a lot of memory on my phone and what use of it.

Monokakido’s app spoils me. It’s perfect. It’s beautiful, easy to use, and full of pleasant surprises. I’ve purchased many dictionaries from them and have never regretted any. Compared to quality printed dictionaries, they are very affordable and there is simply no downside to buying digital. Only upside - it’s with you on all devices, you can look at your history to learn better, and the pattern based search makes finding things far easier than paper. And Monokakido doesn’t stand still. New dictionaries are released often. Just as one example, I looked today to see that my favorite grammar dictionary was just added and is on sale. It’s almost as if the company is reading my mind. I hope Monokakido considers publishing more of the world’s dictionaries over time. Their style, attention to detail, and love for dictionaries make this app a true gem.

I love this dictionary app! The pronunciation feature is incredibly useful, and the search function is lightning fast. The elegant interface is a joy to use. Highly recommend!

Swift and useful dictionary app. But the bookmark function seems way too primitive and 2 basic features are needed: 1. User’s note for bookmarked item; 2. Bookmark export as csv file (including user’s notes).

I cannot restore or update dictionaries that I bought. It says there is an unexpected error and I need to force restart iOS. I did force restart many times, but it does not work. I have plenty free storage space left, so that should not be the problem. Also, sync issues: devices do not have the exact same number of bookmarks.

Great app I must say, tried force restart device for about an hour, didn’t work, great experience otherwise... hope there is way to fix it permanently.

Now I could restore and download the dictionary.
