Ratings and reviews

Spent many hours to download the 2.9 GB app (yes, 2.9 GB). Upon opening the app, it asked for permission to access local media / files, which I did. Then it showed: net:ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE at bottom. Searching any word will result: no match. I also confirmed from Settings that the app has permission to access local media. Had a high hope, and now so disappointed.

The dictionary is great, but only a limited number of words include their word origins. For example, the original Oxford Dictionary provides the origin of the word 'Gobsmacked' (1980s: from gob 'mouth' + smack 'slap'), but that information is absent here. Including this feature would be incredibly useful for advanced learners, and I hope it can be added in the future.

A comprehensive learner's dictionary with a user-friendly interface. However, the pronunciation would be delayed even when I am connected to the internet.
