  7. Hello,

    I must say that your application is very good. It integrates most of the necessary functions of a superb dictionary, says,Thesaurus Dictionary, English-English dictionary, combination of EV and VE, all of them into just one dictionary. Users dont need to switch among of them while looking up for a word. It is indeed so great. However, a dictionary that I am still looking for on iPhone is collocation dictionary of Oxford publisher. As far as I know, there is second version of this dictionary and babylon data for it as well. The collocation is essential to any serious learner who wants to use correctly English words. If you can add the dictionary into this application, it will be virtually perfect! I would could not be satisfied more! In addition, I suggest you create a paid version not including any advertisement for serious user like me. I am willing to pay for this application since it is indispensable to me.

    Thank you, and look forward to seeing your new updates.

    Thang,

  8. Thank you so much Xung Le. You are a genius. Since I started to use Dict Box, I've forgotten all other purchased dictionaries. There are the depth of the original dictionaries multiplied by your creative flexibility. Perhaps, that's all users want.
    I have some suggestions to contribute:
    1- Could you add a button to clear the search box faster? The default one is hidden and sometimes not responsive.
    2- Do you have a Dict Box for Italian? If yes or if you just plan to make it, I would suggest a website which has an amazing store of entries as well as its capacity of verb conjugation.

Just one thing that annoys me that ever since I upgrade my IPod, and of course this application, I am not be able to find the defining of Longman! Can you tell me why?

  16. Oh I'm so sorry to know that! If I had known that, I would't have doone the update! Hic hic. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Hope that you will have the license to put it back soon. You know, Longman dictionary is so suitable for English learners because they define a word basing on very common words. That's why I specifically love it, much more than Oxford or any other English dictionary. Wish you well, Xung.

    1. Ok, Sir
      I think of this solution:

      Downloading all pictures is impossible because the number of words is too big, downloading could be never done.
      Instead, I will introduce the most common english words (maybe 10,000 words or more) in Dict Box. Then If users want to have pictures offline, I will allow them to download the pictures of those words.

      btw, I will support picture for any word in any language, not just English

      For the Oxford dict, You could download "English Dictionary with Examples" as a replacement, it's currently available in Dict Box. There are a lot more free dictionaries available for you to download.

      In the future, I could add Wiktionary as a offline dictionary into Dict Box.

  58. Great Dictionary…DICT has already become a friendly stuff to most emotional users. Most visitors would be unaware of the mini tool and would be glad to know the major world-wide languages are embedded to show a crystal path to the web of communications.

    Currently, I can't support removing ADs for Android version because Google doesn't support that in my country.

    Please tell me the language of Dict Box you are using. I will try to update an AD-Less version in next release.

    1. Hi Mariana,

      First, Please make sure you iPad speaker is working by checking it with other apps.

      If your speaker is working with other apps, please try the following steps:

      - Hard reboot your iPad (long press the power button). -> check if sound is back.
      - "factory reset" your iPad (Settings App -> General -> ...) -> check to see if sound is back
      - If it still doesn't work, please try deleting the app and reinstall from App Store.
