Ratings and reviews

I have used this app for four or five years with FBReader. I just switched to an Samsung S10 and installed the dictionary and data files. Everything works great except both American and British voices sound identical (American English). Edit: I'm not sure what happened, but I now have both pronunciations. Perhaps something updated? Giving 5 stars.

I don't know what is wrong with all the previous users, but I find the app very easy to install every time I change phones. It first asks me to install an offline dictionary, which I do from the provided link, then it functions flawlessly. Thanks for your work! EDIT: Removing a star now. The wikipedia results show at the top of the result lists, making me scroll all the time. I can't find a way to sort the results or to deactivate wikipedia.

The ads block 95% of the pop up window while reading, rendering the dictionary useless. Great feature, but awful ad placement. The app becomes totally useless. There is no resize option for the pop up window. There is no paid version or any option to remove the ads. Such a shame. If there was an option to remove the ads I would gladly pay for it, but as it is now the app is unusable.
