Ratings and reviews

It has a lot of details, and the info is good, but there are a lot of missing definitions!!! That doesn't help me when I'm looking at the dictionary! I have to turn to other sources constantly, which eliminates the benefit of having a dictionary app. Also, like people have mentioned, the voice playback doesn't work. Also, I wish that when I return to the search bar, that it would erase the text previously searched to make things a little faster.

Was good, but latest update now text to speech won't work.. have checked all my settings and uninstalled and reinstalled.. text to speech works fine in my other apps... just a problem here

Works offline on Flight mode. Pronounciation included. Easy to use. No annoying adds. Works like a charm.
