Pros and cons of LexicEN English app for iPhone and iPad

LexicEN English app good for

Good app available offline, simple in usage, common practical features like audio pronunciation, drop list etc. are at hand and work well; optimal design. Vocabulary of the dictionary is without doubt beyond average. Example sentences include many sentences with synonymous.
This is a fabulous App and I really cant think of any way it can be improved. Its perfect as it is.
Absolutely love this app, extremely helpful, however itd be nice if it had some more features like a saved, favourite, history, pronunciation etc
intuitive as you type which is fun, then makes you wonder what else you might read about. good app
Sorry that I left a bad review before, but now with the audio pronunciation this app is more than perfect! And the "favourites" function allows you to store vocabulary very well too. Im really loving this app now, thank you very much! If in future there are some add-on function that helps vocabulary learning, Ill be more than happy to purchase!
Very helpful when trying to find and define words. Easy to use interface. Only problem is that the speak feature is at times too fast to clearly understand how the words are pronounced. If there was a way to change the rate of speaking, I would give this app five stars. However, when trying to understand a new word, the rapid rate at which she speaks can make that difficult, especially if the word is long and complicated.

Some bad moments
