    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,

    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?

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.

      Hi Sultan,

      Because we don't have much experience with Android Development. So the progress is a bit slow.

      We will try to release it soon, but It may miss some minor features for the first version

      Thanks for your understanding

      Hello Ronny,

      With the latest SDK from Apple, We just can support the iOS 4.3 as the minimum os version.
      You have to upgrade your iPhone to 4.3 to use Dict Box then.

      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

      I hope this is fine and clear to you,

      Thanks a lot

    can u tell me why this happened?(were them trial?)and whats the solution?

      The Longman dictionary is huge and expensive. I did not try to have its license. If you really need it, it would be better to buy the official one from App Store.

      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.

      Have you got it solved? just try remove ads again. It won't charge you if you already bought Pro version before.

      Thanks.

      I don't really get what you said.
      If the ads appears after buying Pro version. Please try removing ads again.

      Thanks

    Very nice application for my ipad, I use the Dutch dictionary often for my language class. The sound was a nice feature but is gone. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

      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.

      Thank you

    I've enjoyed using your app on iOS. I noticed that on the latest update the definitions were removed from underneath the word after performing a search. Now it's required to click on the word to view the definition. Any reason for this? It was very convenient and it would be great to have that feature back on a future release!

      Hi Michael,

      I don't really get what you meant.
      Did you mean the "Tap mode" requiring another tap ?
      BTW, could you tell me what language of DB you are using?

      Thank you

    chào bạn Xung Lê. MÌnh muốn hỏi làm sao để download gói dữ liệu âm thanh trên máy tính vì download trên điện thoại rất mất thời gian. Hôm qua mình mới restore lại máy nên bị mất dữ liệu âm thanh, giờ không phát âm được.
    Cám ơn bạn
