Ratings and reviews

The dictionary app in Google Play shows a Brazilian flag suggesting it is Brazilian Portuguese but it is not, it shows a Portugal flag after I instaled it. I checked it and I could read the meaning of some words in Brazil (Brasil) and Portugal, what is great! But the subject pronoums "EU(I), TU (YOU), ELE (HE)/ ELA (SHE), NÓS (WE), VÓS (YOU), ELES (THEY)" are missing in the verbs conjugation!!!

I like the fact that the words have IPA notations for both american and english accents, etymology, examples of use, read-aloud, and translations of each meaning to various languages which when clicked takes you directly to the word in the corresponding app (this translation part is not complete, bot it's an extra). Almost makes it unnecessary to have other dictionaries. I'm very thankful this set of apps is available for free, offline and so compact 🙏

I love this app. It would be so great if you also added an option to turn on notifications with a word a day. A dictionary app I use for Georgian-Russian allows me to turn on reminders (as many as I want) and get either random words or from the ones I have favourited. I will be very happy to see something like that with this app.
