Too hard to use
Second word I looked up isn't in there! Univallate, bivallate, & multivallate are commonly used words in archaeology to describe types of hillfort and other enclosures.
It transpires that the dev thought IPA too difficult for people, so he made up his own! /dh/ = 'th' in 'the'. 👀 The arrogant, conceited tool.
New search facility - great! But I typed rec* and recto was not in the list. But it was in the dictionary. What's that all about?
The refund option was missing immediately after refund. The Wordweb
dictionary is far better. Please refund my money. I'll go with Wordweb
audio.

Why does this product even exist and cost $10? It is inferior to the excellent and free wordweb. If it has any features that are worth paying for (I haven't found them), they should be made clearer. Do not waste your money.

I've used this dictionary for years, but the search for words using wild cards doesn't work on my new Samsung galaxy
