Ratings and reviews

Works well with single words. I've used English, Italian, and Spanish. Almost always gives excellent definitions. Translations are also excellent. Has alternative forms of most words and some idiomatic expressions. Occasionally, can't find a word, though. Offline dictionaries are almost as good as online, but take a lot of space.

For me, the page set up was too busy. After the word definition, would much rather have a SIMPLE example of word usage than origin. Origin should be on a separate screen. It clutters up the page. I like the games and brain tracking. Downloaded offline function but was unable to open/use. A 'help' category within settings would be nice.

I'm a non native speaker of the English language, and often times I need to look up a word's meaning, its pronunciation and a few examples demostrating its use. This app handles the experience quite beautifully, and it throws in a few useful features like idiom of the day and quote of the day. It also includes some features that are very useful for non-advanced speakers, like tense forms. I wish I had known about this app sooner. Been recommending it to everyone I know.
