The dictionary is amazing. It has all the words and their matching meanings and the best part is it works offline. I just have complaint tho, we used to have a feature where once a word is copied from somewhere and you open the app it would automatically search the word. Now after some update, we manually have to paste it. Can we please bring the former feature back?

Thank you so much for this free dictionary !It’s up-to-date. It covers all kinds of words across all subjects like even technical words in science or geography which are usually skipped in an Oxford dictionary and the best part is we can refer to Wikipedia or other apps also for reference through this dictionary app.I regularly use it and it has helped me so much in my studies as well as my general daily life. I highly recommend it to everybody.

This is a great app. Very useful product which is absolutely free of cost. No ads and to the point meanings. I just have a small suggestion, it would be really great if you could add a feature where we can listen to the pronunciation of the word.
