This a well designed app to meet and upgrade human knowledge. This app is great and I do not have any hesitation to share it with my friends and students. Kudos to your elbows.

the thing that I like most about this dictionary is that it displays the phonetic of the word immediately after writing it; so I can learn its pronunciation before clicking on it even if I am offline, In addition to there are many useful features like; correct pronunciation, useful examples, putting the different ways of using the word under searching in one place.

Making things simple is an art in order to understand in the very aspect of the thing which we are stuck into . Perhaps this dictionary tends to be a complete guide making words simplified into what we are seeking a right answer up to , then on , there off .

I really love the app, but you need to work on the types of ads posted. Most times, it shows ads with pornographic images. It's really frustrating!

Shi. G. Aug 6, 2021     

It's a very useful app. i like this app very much. it tells the parts of speech of words and idioms,phrasal verb etc.But this gives very bawdy advertisement. These bawdy advertisement distract a student. So i give it 4 stars. I reduced 1 star for bawdy advertisement. 🙏🙏

One of the best Dictionaries I have ever come across in life. Giving more than just the meaning of a word and expanding one's knowledge of words with sheer rapidity. I express my appreciation to you for your wonderful work. I was thinking it would be a good idea if you worked harder to improve the Dictionary.

Ibr. M. Apr 2, 2022     

It is one of the most dictionary I evet met, it gives a clarifications in an easier way. It proves my English vocabulary. My words can't describe how grateful this app is.

Nid. P. Dec 17, 2020     

This is a very reliable and nice app but there are way too many adds. So searching for words in bulk becomes very difficult as you have to deal with lots of adds.

Yes. T. Feb 6, 2022     

I bought this application to omit the adverts on the 20th of December 2020. Unfortunately, I still see the adverts. Could you please look into it? It is a scam! They even did not bother to answer. I paid and still see the ads. I don't suggest anyone to buy this app.

Fyo. L. Apr 21, 2022     

Great dictionary but every now and then there's a page that doesn't load and it's really unprofessional.

Fan. V. Jun 28, 2020     

Everything is great. I can be tolerated with the advertisement, but that words beginning with "O" doesn't show any content is unacceptable. Fix this please.

Joh. D. Nov 22, 2020     

Too many ads from the beginning that couldn't be closed! Let people evaluate the dictionary for a few days without it. Deleted.

A. G. u. Nov 29, 2018     

Except for the unwanted, disruptive ads which pop up every now and then, the app is, otherwise, A1.

Sar. G. Apr 21, 2019     

Basically, quite essential dictionary for advanced learners of english language. But too much ads though marked 5 stars.

Yev. S. Dec 7, 2018     

Dictionary is great as it's the same. Just how app relates to Macmillan and its owner? Not clear. Thus, how it uses access to memory isn't clear too.

Але. А. Mar 20, 2020     

Great dictionary, but on my device it does not work properly. I can't load word explanations at all. P.S. I have no word explanations which begin by o. Has anyone the same problem?

Din. S. Mar 21, 2020     

Very slow open and taking to much time any searching words. If this rectify than very good for learning.

Asl. B. Nov 25, 2020     

I did not find it so useful since it could not find the proper definition to the words as ''novel''. In the context it goes like this ''......, but a novel way of making plastics out of ...........''.
