Tried to search a word after installing first time and it asked me to purchase full version.

Only about 20 random words were available, this app isn't free. They lie from the beginning!

It's so useless, i regret buying this nonsense. It doesn't even define words or give examples yet i paid so much for it. I'm so disappointed ☹️

this is a suggestion, instead of making the app free on the store then the user is surprised by the in-app purchase, you could simply make it a premium app, so you avoid low rating.

I bought the app but you can't copy the text. I have contacted the service but they didn't care to fix it.

I bought it but I'm unable to download the dictionary. The error just says download failed, and asks me to try again. Very disappointed.

Audio pronunciation of weak forms are not available (Ex: hæz,həz). No explanation about silent letters (Ex: heir). No audio pronunciation available for derivatives.

Best pronouncing dictionary available. Could be better, but it's a niche thing.

there isn't any definition. The app simply spells out the word for you, without explaining what the word means. The "paid version" is the same, there isn't any content in the app, just a spellings bank. I don't know what they are charging for, really.

It doesn't working properly. Doesn't past tense of the verbs, even I write, it appears but pronounce only present tense, even if I click on past tense word.

It's a SCAM! Don't download it! The free version is completely useless, can't get any information without purchasing the full version.

Not free. There are only a few free examples. After searching the first word it tells you to buy a full version. Don't waste your time on installing it.

Provide few words' pronounciation only. If you need full access you have to purchase the full version. Should have mentioned that only trial version is available for free.

Great app that gives the IPA for both British and American English. Also provides recordings. Negative reviews probably come from people who have no idea what a pronunciation dictionary is and how useful it is for (even advanced) non native speakers.

This a wonderful App. though it needs a bit of tweaking, tinkering and streamlining from the Publisher's end. Would love it more if it had allowed the users to record their pronunciations and play them back to check if they come close to the App's pronunciation of a word; just to ensure that they are pronouncing the words right. And to get an idea of as to how they sound. Further, if a couple of sentences could be added to practice intonation and all that it would have been marvelous. But Five
