I could be fantastic. Congrats to the developers! However, I won't 5-star it nor suscribe because there are no separate entries for the most difficult words in English: phrasal verbs. E.g., "give off", like in "the fire does not give off much heat" should be a separate entry, I would like to be able to list it in my favorites. On the other hand, "give back" should not be listed in the phrasal verbs and does not deserve a separate entry, it is just an example of normal use of "give" and "back".

Awful app, poorly designed, and when I purchased a dictionary through the website, I couldn't access it through the app, when I went to get a refund from customer service, they told me they wouldn't because the purchase had been "activated" (for 30 minutes while I tried to log in), and told me I need to make a separate purchase to use it in the app, because the "online" version is website only access, and can't be accessed through the app, despite being identical. Massive scam, don't do it.

This app is really excellent. Every word is explained well. Abundance of knowledge. We get 3 dict in affordable price. I had been using this for one year. And now my subscription ended, so i want to purchase it again. But it is not accepting payments now. Transactions are declined. Showing an error also. Please resolve this issue.
