Great app, I really like the seamless integration with Anki, but sadly the app's word search suggestion list isn't responsive and doesn't even show up after I've typed out the word I'm searching for for some reason so I have click on other sections and come back to the search section before that list shows up... Will update my review if this ever gets fixed.

Developer efforts highly appreciated. However, app mostly works on browser like Chrome etc. Anywhere else "look up" option doesn't pop up if a word is selected /highlighted. Copy option is not practical, as many a times long texts are copied not intended for word lookup. I like concept behind app because I am iPhone user and was looking same functionality in android OS.

I loved this app. I have been waiting for this type of app since many years. I have no problem with ads or definations, everything is perfect. But there is only one problem whenever i search the word which contain f or ff like 'offset' it reads the f as  and searches for the word oÂset instead of offset. Rest is too good.
