Search for the page you want, tap on any word to listen to it being spoken, scroll up and down the word lists for each topic, and swipe left or right to go to the next or previous page. Perfect for study, work, and travel. Features: • Over 7,000 spoken words and phrases per title • UK and US English available • Save your most-used words to a Favorites list. Favorites can easily be added or deleted at any time • Audio can be removed from your device, and re-downloaded when required • After the audio has been downloaded, the app can be used offline • Buy more books and unlock more audio through a link in the app Developer note: For Ukrainian users learning English, please first set your device language to Ukrainian.

Pretty useless for the way I want to use it

Can’t believe this app is designed without the ability to search for a specific word or a topic (like “travel”, “restaurants”, etc.). It’s strictly by page number from the book. This is very limiting because I’m not going to carry the book around. Preferably, I would have liked using this as a quick reference or as a study supplement for specific topics while waiting somewhere.

That’s kinda it. I got this book at my local library and I decided to try out the audio app and it worked great. Something’s I want to say is why do you have to download the audio files yourself and it’s kinda hard to find the word your looking for but other than that I’d say it’s good at least for the Russian copy.

I bought a hard copy book the other day, (Russian English bilingual Visual Dictionary) hoping I can use the free app that they are promoting.To the developer of this app, please fix it because it’s not functioning. I have scanned the barcode of my book and I wanted to download the audio and it’s not working. It just says “audio downloading” and still on 0% not moving an inch.

Chinese Audio Will Not Install

I downloaded the app, could not get Chinese audio to download. I deleted and re-downloaded the app three times and still could not get audio to download. I’m very disappointed I paid good money for a dictionary to use while I travel that I can’t even use. Do not recommend!!!
