Ratings and reviews

BUYER BEWARE. I wish I could give zero stars, not an option.. The first word I looked up was not in the dictionary. Within 10 minutes of purchasing the premium version, I asked for a refund. The developer refused and directed me to the Google Play Store. They refused my request too. Guess I just wasted 9+ dollars. O e lives and learns. I learned never to buy an app from this developer. Buyer beware.

I love this app and the other American dictionaries and give 5 stars to them, but give a big ZERO to Mobisystems support! After a few emails, the support didn't solve my problem or any reasonable reply, while I purchased four expensive dictionaries. In this kind of support and help from an American company like Mobisystems is weird and horrible. Don't expect of them to behave with their customers in this way.

Good. But a warning comes to me that your trial is over!! And I can't use it anymore
