Excellent aid to my reading. Could you please try to implement a pop-up bubble where the defined word well just show and fade away after couple seconds? This way, you will never have to leave the reader to go to dictionary and back.

1. I NEVER SAID BACKUP FEATURE WAS EVER USED THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. 2. I KNEW THE NEW UPDATE FEATURED BACKUP/RESTORE. 3. WHY COULDN'T YOU PLACE SAFEGUARDS FOR PREVENTING DELETION OF MY FAVORITE WORDS EVEN AFTER THE UPDATES? GOOGLE DRIVE DOES NOTHING TO RESTORE MY WORDS FROM FAVORITE LIST. I TESTED IT. 4. WHEN YOU UPDATE YOU SHOULD WARN PEOPLE BEFOREHAND ABOUT DISAPPEARING OR REMOVAL OF SAVED WORDS. 5. WHY EVEN USE GOOGLE DRIVE FOR BACKUP/RESTORE? USE ANOTHER METHOD WITHIN THE APP TO SAVE WORDS! COME ON... USE COMMON SENSE! 6. I LIKE CONVENIENCE NOT COMPLICATEDNESS. THAT'S WHY I PURCHASED THIS APP. PLEASE UPDATE WITH CAUTION PEOPLE!

I bought the premium. However, the pop-up works only when I read articles in html. format (webpage). When reading a PDF page, the pop-up does not work at all. It is a bit disappointing. Please help how to make the pop-up possible in PDF page reading. I will give you 5 stars if it can be done. Thanks.

A more expanded dictionary, maybe with synonyms too, would be great. And a dark theme would be nice. The whiteness feels violent when you read and write in apps set on dark mode (Pocket, Moon, Simplenote). It stops working.

I bought this app after only using it for 10 minutes it's perfect for what I want. A couple of thoughts about developments that would be helpful. The first is that the text enlarging button in the definitions would benefit from a few more size increases. As someone who has difficulty with small text the largest size is ok but a bit of a challenge. The other thought is that the text to speech option would be much improved if it could be linked to my preset text to speech options . Overall though, great
