It's good for pronunciation and fluent English 💕❤️
by Prachi, 2024-10-16

If it's an offline dictionary, then it should be able to give the definition and pronunciation of words offline. I don't get the offline vibe. The way the words appear are also just bland, no designs in the background. I owned a physical MacMillan dictionary years ago which I loved so much. That was my main reason for downloading McMillan over any other soft copy dictionary. If something could be done about it. I will definitely recommend this dictionary to everyone

I downloaded it now so I don't know more about it actually but I guess it's gonna be fine hopefully and along with it I heard such words for pronunciation so, its absolute neared into my heart in listening . moreover, I'm gonna try to get more understanding about it.
