No money
I don’t understand why the human look at everything as money, why u locked up all the options for payment!?

Love this dictionary
I used the print version of this dictionary all the time and was happy to find this digital version. Certain things could be better, like maybe a dark mode. But these aren’t deal breakers for me, and I still use the app frequently. I am concerned it will stop functioning with iOS 26, since that will be a major overhaul to the operating system. This app hasn’t been updated in years.
