Ratings and reviews

This app has been a truly marvelous discovery. Booksmarking feature is phenomenal, but what makes this app better than any other, is the links within each definition. Many minutes have passed simply diving into different words. Awesome! And because I can't spend money on apps, having a free dictionary in my pocket is just brilliant. Thank you.

It's my first time I'm reviewing with this eagered heart. I appreciate its translation feature and all that stuff, but I seriously want to mention one issue, can you add a frequent copy pop up. whenever, I copy the text it pops up like Hindi to English dictionary which also have the same feature. It would be alot more helpful and the user base would also increase with this single feature update for sure

I propose that...lookup, search, recent, bookmarks, x–ref...all be placed in the same location in which 'lookup' and 'search' presently reside—limiting the others to a menu, hidden from plain view, only renders the app cumbersome.
