작동 안 됨. 갤럭시 노트8. 초기화면에서 얼어버립니다. 환불 요청합니다. 10월 11일 변동 사항. Diodict POP 이란 앱을 플레이스토어에서 다운받아 열어보니 되는군요. 환불요청은 그냥 취소합니다만, 다른 디오딕 사전에 비해 너무 질이 떨어집니다. 최악의 수준. 수많은 유저들을 괴롭히는 수준인데요. 원래 플레이스토어에 있는 콜린스코빌드를 다운 받으면 안 열리고 얼어버립니다. 그렇다고 Diodict Pop 을 추가로 다운 받으라는 소개가 있었는지도 모르겠고요. 다른 어떤 앱이, 이런 식으로 두 개 앱을 다운 받으라고 합니까? 속히 수정 및 업글 하셔야 합니다.

This is my favourite dictionary to study with that is why I did buy it. My problem is I can't copy the definition of a new word I just learned. I am trying hard to better my Grade 12 results. To copy text from the dictionary is very important to me at this point of my life while I study because I paste the definition of a new word in Microsoft Word because I study/ practice complex English and Mathematics Grade 12 books. Please I beg you to enable the text so that I can copy it. If you ignore my complaint then I will forever be broken hearted until the day I die. So be a good service and go out of your way to see that your customer is happy at all times.

: do you really need all examples spoken for "advanced" learners, and need "dio dic" opening screen? do i ? Diotic rhyme, it is. i'm erstwhile admirer of Cobuild advanced dic. Sadly so slow to Boot, this app left to rot in my galaxy Note3. Instead i tried 5th ed paperback, but this one is made with worst printing paper I've ever seen through. We engish learners are losing the greatest tool ever. Now I'm seeing Concise Oxford, it's stunningly fast & legible, user-oriented.

I am a big fan of Collins Cobuild Advanced. It is the dictionary I have been recommending to everyone who ask me for opinion. Although I already have a pc version and, of course, a hard copy of this wonderful dictionary, I still want to get an Android one as soon as I bought my first smart phone a week ago. Having browsed through it with a few searches, and to compare with my pc (first) version, I have the following comments to make. Please, the developer, take note of my recommendation for improvement.

My last feedback on the program took longer than necessary to launch (approx 5 to 10 seconds probably trying to access the internet, to verify or authenticate the license). This issue seems to have been fixed, the program is starting much faster now.Thanks DioDict for listening.However, I do observe another small bug though. The text spacing for English is not really flowing well, causing some texts of the same word to flow to the next line, which makes reading a little difficult. 5 STARS upon fixing.

Cons: 1. sound icons in full screen mode just take up lots of space, very intrusive as well. 2. It is very annoying that you always have to flick the screen in order to enter full screen mode. After searching for words, it should go directly to full screen if you click the enter. 3. I wish keyboard would be activated automatically if I click cancel button while I'm in full screen so that I can look up another word without clicking search bar again. Five stars on fixing these issues.

I am a dictionary apps of both IOS & Android fanatic. This one made me wow in just first 5 min after downloaded. Collins cobuild & Longman r the leaders of dictionary for English learners, as anyone knows. But this particular one is far better than any others in term of UI, functionalities, & many useful features. For the best of all, "voice search" is quite accurate & generous. It understands my strong non-native-English speaker's accents in most of the cases. Google play store's screenshots scared me first, because the dictionary contains some Korean language. But, do not worry, I found it is all in English. Just, trust me, this is the best of best!

Honestly! if you people buy this App, you will be very frustrated. What sort of Dictionary is that? I love Collins Cobuild on paper media and I like its PC version. Thats why I , as many others, payed for the Android version. But it was a huge deceive. 1- We can not copy the texts...Copyrights issues? Others famous dictionaries DO ALOW the reader copy every text, definitions ande exemples from their dictionaries. I DON'T think they are stupid. 2 - Why you don't let us to use our own text to reader software? This Aapp DioDict uses an horrible embedded text to reader that has a robotic voice, very bad pronounce, no respect to commas or points. I have IVONA and Samsung that are much better than that used by DioDict text to reader Honestly: if you people buy this App, you will be very frustrated.
