Ratings and reviews

I'm about to uninstall this app because it bombards me with inescapable ads in a row. I just shut down the app, earlier, because I looked a word up, and had to x-ray of 3 or 4 ads, before getting to read my definition. Then I started the app up again. Got one definition, tried to look up another immediately after, and, again, had to quit the app because ads won't allow me to see my definition. It's a decent dictionary, but I'll install a different dictionary app.

This app was the worst. Every single time I opened it. Up popped a full screen ad. Tapped the X and it took me straight to Google's app store. Barely escaped from there and guess what? Yeah, You guessed it. There is another one staring me right in the face. Not at all a good app. Beware. If the ad fiasco is any indication. Besides uninstalling it, where will I have to go to get it gone?

5 ⭐s. Thanks for being the only offline dictionary I acknowledge. This is an excellent dictionary with a huge variety of words. I like how it remembers my past searches and when I start to type, it suggests them depending on the spelling. My criticism is that the definitions of the same words with the same meanings are repeated except just phrased differently. Those alternative seperate definitions make the app slightly disorganized. Aaand still fantastic! I find it useful.
