User reviews
Had for years, but for some reason, it's only wickipedia . Wikipedia is good, but I look for information on many items from the Bible. The Bible dic is gone. Also, the thesaurus and other sources are gone. Very unhappy. I had a paid version, uninstalling and reinstalling, in an attempt to activate other publications, and I now have ads again. Being retired on SS, I have no use for anything other than I discover I truly need. Which is little more than food, so any ad is only an annoyance.

I've been using this amazing app for year but after moving to never phone I can't get dictionaries working even after following the guidance and placing them in the correct folder. Very disappointed.
