Terrible update, destroys the user experience

Unfortunately the new update is a complete disaster

renaissancess ,

better more than I thought

It’s good enough for me to look up as an offline dictionary. That very good. This app include an intact LDOCE6. We can not say its a mar because its interface is different from the former version-5..

Pronunciation doesn’t work

When you search a word and click on the pronunciation, there is no sound.
