This is a great app, it even works off line. However there are Swahili words or phrases that don't translate or are hard to piece together for multiple reasons. Don't know how to fix that, and don't have any input on how to fix it unless one was to input every possible interaction along with the translation. Not good if your beginning to learn Kisawhili, but great if you need a boost further into your education.

Wonderful app with the best dictionary experience. It does what you realy want. It gives you the very wright word in the very wright meaning. I recommend it. For five stars, developers please fix the popping of saggestion words that blocks what you are typing. It should pop up and still allow us to see what we are typing in the search bar. Otherwise its the Best Dictionary app I have ever used

Excellent and truly excellent dictionary! Even super that it is usable offline. English to swahili and vice versa is too good a style. I use it a lot even when reading the Word of God from the Bible. This is a good dictionary for preachers who would want to improve their preaching vocabulary in the other language He or She is less used to.
