Invaluable App

This app is an asset for prompt and good reference when reading and editing any material. It good investment to pay for and one does not have to connect to the internet because the app is installed on your device.

Great

Hands down the most neatly designed and elegant dictionary app available.

Only improvements I'd wish to see would be the search button relocated to the bottom of the screen where it can easily be accessed with either left or right hand, with 'add' and 'bookmarks' moved to its right, (current 'info' tab is a complete waste of space where it is now); and that the word search functionality could be built into spotlight search directly if iOS permits it.

Spectacular

I’ve been using this app for years and it has never failed me, as my English is not great so I deeply depend on it to help me with my spelling and meanings of words.
Thanks for creating this app. I would definitely recommend it.
