One of the best dictionary apps around! Yet only 3 stars. I super appreciate the absence of ads. I wish it offered audio pronunciation. But worse than that is the difficulty with conjugations. It's very hard to find the conjugation you want. When you're in the root word only a few conjugations show -- and they aren't labeled. Sometimes it's fine; but there's no consistency. Case in point: if you want to "clue someone in" you will be cluing them in. Or clueing them in. Which is it? Can't tell.

One major flaw makes this a Hard Pass for me. Predictive text when typing a word is TERRIBLE! If you are only one or two letters off in spelling, it can not figure out the word and gives you many options except the one you want. Example: If you want the word conjugate but type congugate or congigate it can't figure it out. My current app gets it perfect and suggests correct spelling immediately. This app is not for those needing quick, accurate results, and your word is part of the GLITCH!

Two app improvements are needed. The first is to have more Widgets, importantly a Widget for Random Bookmark and widget for manual cycling (left/right) of saved Bookmarks. The second feature needed is to (optionally) have Online references built into the main UI as a bottom split screen. This would be great especially as I and people I know use Google. This could be made a UI default with option to disable it.
