By using this app one can search meaning of the word offline as well as online while reading itself by just copying the word, the meaning pops up. This saves the time from switching to other dictionary app.

I am giving you five stars, because I would like to support what you've done, and I'd love to see you update the application. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked on my device, but I'm sure it's not your fault.

Impressive app! Really great, a very useful application that has been designed skillfully. Just one simple request: please give us the option to completely disable QuickDictButton. Sometimes it gets in the way of most of the other apps and becomes really annoying. I can set to 100% transparent, but even when it is transparent, it can be clicked. Please consider this option.

Why the developer is still resisting reason, I don't get it. Fact: we're living a commercial world. I don't donate money to the baker -- I need the bread -- I know the price -- I buy the bread. Fair and transparent. You have chosen "donation" path, shoving an unwanted, time-wasting ad down my throat. That's bad. That's UNFAIR! That's sad. Your app DESERVES more, satisfied customers. What's the price? Now it's your move!

This is the first product that I am writing a review for and I have only praise for this app. It does what it says almost perfectly. Simply clicking the Copy button gives the meaning with various uses of the word. There is one issue with the offline dictionary not being able to give the meaning of derived words making one either edit the word or search it online. But the developer has promised me to take care of that in next update. So I'll for the time being rate it a.5 star. Keep up the good work, truong

Just one Improvement, please see if it's widget can be made to stay on our desired homescreen. It's staying stuck to mobile screen & homescreens keep sliding beneath the icon. It's bit inconvenient.

So useful app! Please work on having more choices of dictionary added. I would not mind paying for such a useful app. This is a must have for people who are not native to the language of English.
