Good application, but lacking flashcards and voice functionality.
Good app. But I really really miss a button for quick switching the direction of the dictionaries. Have to go via settings > dictionaries. Too complicated! Slovoed or Collins provide those buttons. And You have to reselect the input field for the next search. Could be faster if that field had already focus.
