Missing meanings in the Finnish dictionary

Overall I would say it's a very neat and powerful dictionary app. Clear layout, quick response, no ads, no need to use the Internet except for downloading dictionaries upon first use.

I have only one complaint though, which unfortunately is not a small one: The suomi dictionary contains many items missing important meanings. For example, if you search "aikoinaan" in the app, it will only give you one meaning. By this, I mean that only one meaning is displayed at the top of the right-hand-side column, and there is no button for switching among several different meanings (or parts of speech) towards the bottom. However, if you look up the same word in Wiktionary, there will be two meanings, a noun, which is identical to what the app displays, and an adverb, which the app lacks. Unfortunately, the second meaning, i.e., the adverb, is actually more common in usage. Wiktionary shows the less common meaning first only because it reflects the construction of the word.

I have not yet checked other dictionaries to see if the same problem exists. But the Finnish one definitely needs a fix. I guarantee you that such a fix would be a lifesaver for learners like me who wish to continue using this app.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! I just checked the entry you mentioned, and the latest dictionary lists both the noun and the adverb. Are you using the app on iPad? The part of speech button might be obscured by the on-screen keyboard. This is something I'll fix in the next version.
