Ratings and reviews

Extraordinary & extremely helpful app; I wonder why is it not popular! Jazak Allahu Khairan! There can be improvements though. "Rate translation" doesn't get clicked, and you've used the arrows (those used to expand and collapse a dictionary in search) upside down. When it is closed, it should point downwards, and when opened, should point upwards. You can add a dark theme as well, that would look great. You can add suggestions in search bar as well.

Recurring subscription plans only, without any possibility to purchase the software once and for all => uninstalled. The programmer's answer is the usual BS about having to cover costs, but so does every company, professional and individual on the planet, yet millions of them thrive just fine by selling instead of renting their products. Offering both options (purchase and subscription) would be smarter than losing all those who might be willing to pay once, but not forever.

The "improved display ... so you can quickly find what you want" makes it actually much slower to find what you want. It takes a few taps EVERY SINGLE TIME to actually open the entry you want, when you don't close them all altogether, because it is written too small on a smartphone. Really annoying. I totally understand the idea behind it, and it's a good one, but it is actually not practical at all and a total loss of time (and patience!). Please get it back to how it used to be!
