crashes
can’t even look up a single word
Didn’t work at all
I downloaded and opened the app on iPhone 12. I typed in “Germanic” in the search field. The app crashed. I tried again. It crashed again. I deleted the app. I wrote this review. Done.
Audio does not work
For etymology, finding cognates, definitions in multiple languages, conjugation, etc. very useful. However, none of the audio files have ever functioned in the app.
Only crash, no define
Does not do anything useful. iOS 15
Does what it says on the tin
I never review apps, but I'm so happy somebody made an app for this! Perfect for etymology rabbit holes. One nit: would be great if swiping right took me to the previous page instead of to the top-level search bar. Because of aforementioned rabbit holes, I go "back" a lot, and it's annoying that swiping right not only doesn't have the expected (imo at least) behavior, but also makes me lose my history (to go back to previous page you have to press the little back button at top of screen). Relatedly, would be cool if swiping left took you forward in history! Otherwise love it; it's simple but exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Crashes
Crashes every time I type a word and hit the search button
