Customer Reviews
No graphic figures
At this price, it does not have figures. The paper copy not only is cheaper,but also have graphic figures.
Do not buy this! I am duped.
Excellent
This is by far the most expensive iPhone app I've bought, but it also ranks for me as among the most bang for the buck. The audio pronunciations are what sets the app apart. I finally know how to pronounce "milieu." It would be nice, though, if the history stored more than 100 words. A 1,000-word history would be better. That would make the app more useful for reviewing words you've looked up in the past. And it would also be good if individual words could be removed from the search history rather than only having an option to delete all of them. Still, of the handful of dictionaries I've downloaded, this is easily the best.
