Ratings & Reviews
- This app’s overall rating was recently reset.
Fixed a crash where large dictionaries (e.g. English) would silently fail to install on device. The app appeared to download successfully but the dictionary remained listed as "downloadable". The fix writes the database file in small chunks instead of all at once, avoiding a memory spike that caused iOS to forcibly close the app mid-write.
