Wonderful

Exactly what I’ve been looking for! Simple, clean UI; no fussy sign-ins; and actual offline functionality without having to pay.

The only suggestion I could offer is to maybe broaden the scope of the synonyms? Particularly when it comes to scientific applications or not-quite-everyday stuff. Even the simplest additions, such as expanding the synonyms of “microbe” to include more than just “bug” and “germ,” would be greatly appreciated.

That’s just a little personal preference though. Keep up the great work!

Functional and accessible!

I found this app a few weeks ago (after deleting multiple dictionary apps—as a copy editor, I'm extremely picky) and downloaded this, and it's been wonderful! Love the design, the usability, the lack of ads, and the accessibility. I'm SO glad this exists, and I hope the creator keeps maintaining it. Thank you!

Simple and Effective

I saw that this app doesn’t have a lot of reviews, so I decided to write one. Lngo is clean and straightforward to use without a bunch of distracting adds. I like how quickly I can switch to synonyms and can even save words to review again later! Will be keeping this in my repertoire for when I’m writing.
