  1. 5/5Exception dictionary

    I extensively use dictionaries when studying. I look up every word I don’t know. This is my favorite because the definitions are simple and straight to the point. They do not use other unnecessary complicated words which simply confuse the matter. It is also a great dictionary for foreigners and children. And it has simple derivations. Sometimes, like all dictionaries with derivations, they will link to other words to complete the derivation, which is unfortunate. Would be much better if they just completed the job right then and there. Also, note to designer: COM- link is broken. There is no other dictionary that compares to this one online. Microsoft Encarta is amazing as well, but only available in hard copy. But for online, this one is unbeatable, hands down. And it is simpler than Encarta.

  2. 5/5Dark mode option bug

    Hi guys. Thanks for this wonderful app and thanks for adding dark mode Option. Yet there is a problem. If you are in the lightmode you can switch between always dark and not always dark in the app and it works well. But when I am in the dark mode of the system the app doesn’t respond. The switch you designed for always dark doesn’t not take the dictionary out of dark mode. In other words this switch doesn’t work in the dark mode. I tested it a few times. Thanks for your consideration

  3. 5/5this app works quite good on my iphone 11 Pro

    I like the app layout. It looks good on the iphone and ipad as well. The quality of the sound files for the headwords and the example sentences is surprisingly good. Overall, I am very pleased with this app....It is worth the money ! The latest update has really added value to the app. I hope the developer will continue to support the app for years to come. We need good apps like this !

  4. 5/5Reduce Motions

    This app is perfect , but new 5.7 add so many motions. For example , you leave the app in background when you started it again it takes almost seconds to display a picture of LDOCE cover. Hope reduce more motion and save our time . by the way , the new blue color theme is need to optimize and it is not so cool as the app

  5. 5/5MacOS version, please!

    I am passionately waiting for the macOS version of this app or the plus version because this app is my daily driver and I can’t just live without it. Therefore, if I have it also on macOS, it would be the best and I can do my teaching and researching better and better. Please, do it as soon as you can. Thanks.
