Ratings and Reviews
Looking forward to LDOCE5 features
- No Split screen in iPad
- No phrasal verb search
I'm a LDOCE5 lover. After thinking for a couple of weeks, I made my mind to buy this worse version. Without "phrase search" you get no result for very basic search query such as "look forward" and it's disappointing. The only reason that I bought this app was to support LDOCE team. Please update your app!
Search issues
When I want to search something, search icon doesn't work, so have to go to menu and have to tap search icon and it only works in that way for one word. If I want to search another word, I have to go to menu and have to tap search again. To add insults to injuries, half of search bar is covered by its oulines contents. So I can't tap on search bar to find next new word and I have had it here with this search icon issue all the time. So may I suuggest to check the app carrfully before launching it. I would be happy if you guys fix it in the shortest time. Bcoz I rely on this diction.. App. Thanks.
Improvement and my 2 suggestions
Suggestion 1. It is too hard to access the word information, verb table, and thesaurus, which are all hidden under the "i" button. Those information are so useful, and the design makes me feel inconvenient in comparison to the LDOCE5. I suggest to move those information to the very top of the interface.
Suggestion 2. The status bar is all-black when using the app. At least shows the time and the battery.
Other than these, I think this app is pretty robust. But before you fix it, I will still suggest others to stay on LDOCE5.
