Ratings and reviews

I am a Filipino studying Catalan. I love the app, but I hope sooner they'll include the sound for the correct pronounciation of the words, just like in Merriam Webster.

Moltes gràcies per l'aplicació! L'app milloraria si hi cada usuari tingués l'opció de crear llistats de paraules des del seu compte (com es pot a +Plus de Cambridge).

Pràctic, extensiu, però hi manca la pronunciació a IPA (AFI) i/o l'àudio per a estrangers com jo.
