Ratings and reviews

Does what I want over the stock Android dictionary app, specifically look ups within look ups. The overlay on the center of the screen is obtrusive though, I'd prefer if it popped up on the lower half of my screen without a dark overlay over the rest of it. Being able to quickly look up a word and immediately re-read it in context is nice. Edit: Reachability setting doesn't change that the box covers up text underneath it. Imo, the box would take up 35% of the screen without obscuring any text.

I haven't updated this app in a while, all was working well, suddenly after a recent update I'm seeing ads. Which... is regretable but understandable. But imagine my surprise when said ad pops up over my reading and I have to click it away! This really ruins the reading experience and I have to say I'm disappointed. Will have to look up (pun intended) a new dictionary extention.

This app has got perfectly everything i need, with a few exceptions.. Perfect for reading stories, saves a lot of time from opening a separate dictionary and type the word and etc hassles.. I wish the free version had the option to add 3 dictionaries instead of just 2.. And.. It doesn’t work on every app, like wattpad or wps office- my core reading apps. Which was a bummer tbh, i ended up having to find an online ver of the book just to be able to use lookup.
