Ratings and reviews

Have you heard of an app called bluedict (known as the best host for mdict files on android) ? You can forget it ! This is simply better . Also less complicated , more powerful , much better design , unique features (comments, word book, pc server, lovely smart viewer and so on and on) Excellent job 👌 A few suggestions : more color options for article background . Scroll entries using volume keys .

I have two requests, could you please add an option to optimise the app for e-ink devices? and if there was an option to scroll up and down with volume keys it would be great. Specially for people who are using your app in android e-readers / tablets with e-ink display. update: perfect, thank you very much :)

The dark mode is kind of a negative filter effect, it's not properly showing image or font( some dictionary not going dark at all). So please make dark mode like proper dark background separated from font and image. Also "background color" change, only changing the "dictionary area" rest is white, that is discomfortable for eyes. Please add theme, indifferent color ( except dark mode or background colour options) for menu area and navigation area.
