What's New in Version 4.2✔ Restored compatibility with 3.1.3 devices✔ Stability improvements ✔ Fixed a bug whereby wordlist wasn't overwritten Customer ReviewsUseful to a point (3 stars)I wish the description had mentioned that this app provides only the British pronunciation for most of the words in the dictionary. There are a lot of legitimate sound substitutions between American English and British English. Howjsay (2 stars) I don't find the app useful. Lots of words not inside. Not worth the money at all. Awkward (2 stars) Look up "bologna" with this app. It pronounces the word like this "boloa". Other than that one word, it's ok. I just hope I don't pronounce a word in an AWKWARD matter because of this app. If one word is pronounced wrong, how about the rest?
