Best Dictionary App All Round !!!

I’ve had this app since my iPhone 5S more than 5yrs ago and is one of the few apps I’ve carried through to my iPhone 7 and now to iPhone 8. It’s never let me down and the fact you can use it offline shows that the App Developer certainly chose customer experience over profit!
Love love love this app and always recommend it to others looking for a Dictionary App for on the go!

Love this! Absolutely handy and useful!

I love how this dictionary app is true to its definition and information, not leaving anything out even if its Christian related things. Because of this I use this app when I study the Bible and prepare for preachings. Please stay the same and don’t change that!

Lagging 😑

Have used this app as a reliable and fast source for many years. However, recently when selecting a word within a description to look up, the app lags, takes a very long time to load then shuts itself down. The recent updates might have created some bugs that need to be investigated.
