Wowbehr ,

Awesome dictionary!

So the developer updated this app right before the release of iOS11, that’s 3 years after the previous update! Congrats to the reborn! I love this app on iPhone, and it gets even better on iPad now. But I hope developer can bring back the translation feature which I think is very convenient in app.

Great Dictionary — Horrible App

It appears that this app has not been updated in years. I paid for this app years ago when it was still being updated, but on my 2020 iPad Pro, the app itself does not fit the aspect ratio of my screen. That means it’s blurry and doesn’t even expand to the full width of my screen. I get the app in the middle with two black bars on the sides. This is a great dictionary with a huge number of resources, but I expected the app to continue to be updated since I paid for it. If they had discontinued the app, I would understand — but they still sell it on the app store. That means people are buying an app that is already well outdated. I would love to see a refresh to this app similar to what they did for the iPhone app, especially if it is to stay on the app store for any considerable amount of time. It seems silly that the iPad app could be so ignored when there is a shiny new iPhone app.

Developer Response ,

Sorry to hear your experience has taken a downturn. We'll certainly share your comments with our app team, and let them know how much you'd like to see they updates to the iPad app.
Thanks for being a long-time user of our app!

Would be 5 stars if notable flaws were fixed

For a paid app, it is a disappointing experience. You cannot launch the app from its own notifications or the widget. When I get a daily word notification and press on it, the app tries to launch but crashes. Every time. The same happens if I tap on “Learn more” in the daily word widget. I have been using iPad Pro 2018 with the latest software. The app also suffers from formatting issues. You can’t see the widget very well if you turn on dark mode. Otherwise, once you do launch the dictionary it’s a nice app.
