If it's an offline dictionary, then it should be able to give the definition and pronunciation of words offline. I don't get the offline vibe. The way the words appear are also just bland, no designs in the background. I owned a physical MacMillan dictionary years ago which I loved so much. That was my main reason for downloading McMillan over any other soft copy dictionary. If something could be done about it. I will definitely recommend this dictionary to everyone

the thing that I like most about this dictionary is that it displays the phonetic of the word immediately after writing it; so I can learn its pronunciation before clicking on it even if I am offline, In addition to there are many useful features like; correct pronunciation, useful examples, putting the different ways of using the word under searching in one place.

When I want to explore the Thesaurus for "fighting in a war and relating to fighting in a war", it doesn't work. I am still endlessly grateful that at least one version of the dictionary works. Thank you, good app.
