Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app and have used it for years as I like to learn new words. I even purchased all of the extra content. Recently the app has become either unusable (unable to get definitions - seems to be resolved) or annoying. I have some issues with the UX, but at least I can get definitions again. Download the offline dictionary if you have the space.

Because this app can be launched via the context menu in another app, I should be able to go back to the previous app I was using the native back function. I cannot express how much I loathe apps like this, where you basically hit a sand trap as soon as you open them. They hijack the app you were in and make it nearly impossible to get back to where you were in the previous app, which is infuriating because it means you risk losing unsaved content you might have been working on in another app.

Having used the website for years on years, having this app on my phone was an obvious no-brainer. Familiar, comprehensive, dependable. SIKE! This app is the ultimate bait and switch. Just a few days ago marked 1 YEAR since an update has been released. Not weeks. Not month(s). YEAR. Probably why it's so glitchy. It's crawling with bugs that have been neglected to infestation. I guess I expected more due to brand-loyalty bias or sth idk
