2024-11-17 | Dan-Albert Pierce | 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. | |
2024-11-08 | Suseel Bhatt | Why size increase rapidly upto 1 gb when i juat import 200mb of file ? golden dict has no change in size after import. like lookup or aard 2 dictionary when selecting a text, there's a dictionary option along with copy paste. is it possible for colordict to do the same using dictionary by selecting a text anywhere not just ereaders? other than that i like pop up feature | |
2024-10-03 | The Secret | I love this!! BUT THE ADS DUDE!!!!! Offer a paid version WITHOUT ADS! | |
2024-09-30 | Dpki8p | Used to good, now too many ads in the way. I wish it would save your words in alphabetical order. It would be much easier to go through. | |
2024-08-31 | Stanislav Bříza | 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. | |
2024-08-12 | chisala mwami | I have been using the dictionary with ease for many years. Unfortunately the new method of downloading dictdata is confusing and not easy for many. At best provide a direct download link at the bottom of ColorDic as was the case before. Even those suggesting links are not giving beginners complete guides. The new download task now is like writing an examination. Make it user friendly | |
2024-05-30 | Iolo and Peibyn | Developer: DARK MODE PLEASE. Please enable all dictionaries to appear in light fonts against a PITCH BLACK BACKGROUND, for comfortable night-time reading. Bright white backgrounds in the middle of the night are disturbing! Otherwise this is an excellent dictionary system. Meanings are instantly supplied as I read. My favourite dictionaries are Webster's, Concise Oxford, and Brittanica. | |
2024-04-21 | Olena Kalashnikova | Was a great app, but since recently cannot use it anymore. All dictionaries crashed. Reinstalling didnt help. Coupd you explain where from to move the dictionaries? On the tablet the app works fine. Only on the phone its not working. Reinstalling doesn't help | |
2023-12-31 | K. M. | I've been using it for donkeys years but after the recent update the ads have become so big they completely obscure the field to type words in. EDIT: Indeed, now that the problem has been fixed, the dictionary is fully functional again. Thank you! | |
2023-08-10 | Anushaa N G | I'm using this app since couple of years, it is wonderful dictionary at your finger tip. But since I changed my mobile 2 months back and re-installed the app, app is not responding . Can anybody please solve this issue. It says 'search error in Akhyatachandrika'... |
