Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Best of the best

    By Anh Phan89 (Pcmac user)

    Could not understand those who gave this 1 star and whining , just because it needed to be paid to fully accessible. Look at Meriam Webster, Oxford dictionary, they all did the same. This is the best dictionary by far, coming from who used a number of ios dictionary (Meriam, Oxford...etc you name it). Worth every penny. Hope the devs keep updating to make it bug-free app.
  • Make more accessible

    By Black Ragar (Pcmac user)

    Huge disappointment, since the web version is totally accessible for searching and exploring all kind of words and some good features.I was expecting to experience the same thing in the app, i even created my own words list on the web version hopping to Synchronizing it via the application but none of these were available unless you buy the whole version which the price of it is a bit exaggerated. I think I’m gonna stick with the web version until i find another alternative.
  • Charging for dictionary...in 2018?

    By Rescuecat69 (Pcmac user)

    I get that the app should be profitable in some shape or form, but to prevent the general usage of the app without paying $10+ USD just sounds uninviting, especially since the browser version of the the app dictionary is free to use. I’d understand if the app pushes for purchase of the dictionary during offline mode, but the charge during online mode just seems counterintuitive. The rating I’m giving to this app isn’t based on its functionality or interface. Rather, it’s a rating for the poor business model.
  • The font is terrible

    By Yasooj (Pcmac user)

    Please use a bolder font for definition with blue ink!!! 2- use italic font with black ink 3- let the users choose a different color for background pay attention please! The fonts are very important they should be attractive to read!!!
