Ratings and reviews

I like that if you copy any word within the meanings / synonyms provided by the dictionary, it'll paste itself onto the search bar directly, and you can easily search for its meaning there. It's such a small function, but I really love it. Also, the option of integrating multiple dictionaries and wikipedia search all of it is simply very useful! edit: that "copy and paste directly on the search bar" option is called "word jump." I just read the actual term under the app info!

I have been using the dictionary with ease for many years. Unfortunately the new method of downloading dictdata is confusing and not easy for many. At best provide a direct download link at the bottom of ColorDic as was the case before. Even those suggesting links are not giving beginners complete guides. The new download task now is like writing an examination. Make it user friendly

Using for many years and find very useful, however this version has Wikipedia results that I can't turn off. Please tell me how to go back to dictionary only results, and I'll change my rating to 5 stars. EDIT: found the problem. To move or disable Wikipedia don't click on the tripple-dots click the 📂 at the top of the screen. 5 stars great app.
