Im a lecturer and over years I made my students download the app. Im so disappointed now because the voice that pronounces words for me is no more. It used to be very helpful but now I have to download other dictionary apps. I wish you fix this problem. Regards.
How I am able to understand Arabic more better!

I love this because I don't have to figure out the root, it's really good at suggesting possible words and definitions. I wish it had all the diacritical marks in Arabic so I didn't need to play the pronunciation to be sure of how to pronounce ever correctly. But it's still really great! Thanks!
