Ratings and reviews

Seems rather amateurish. When you enter a word, several definitions appear, each preceded by a star much bigger than the text; there's no option to change this to something less distracting or repetitious. The definitions look like they're from different sources (some are capitalized, some aren't), and there's an annoying, time-wasting redundancy between them. Perhaps you could study some good existing dictionary examples, rather than feeling you must "reinvent the wheel"?

Everything thing is fine but, while search word onTextChanget event is not help user, please fix it to get best user experience! Thanks for incredible development! 😉

Looking good so far, better than other offline dictionary apps I have tried. Takes up a lot of space but I suppose that's inevitable! But... Nothing happens when I tap on a definition in the list - it "acknowledges" my tap but nothing. So, "Search inside definitions and examples" - how? I can't! Is this a bug? I thought I could tap a word within a definition, eg it says "See also crocus" but doesn't take you to 'crocus', you must type the word in the search field. And... It would be useful if the keyboard opened automatically without having to select the search field (maybe as an option). This alone wouldn't drop a star, though.
