You could technically still build a worse optimized search algorithm Also, your app has half of it's screen just, empty, and yet you still feel the need to take over the screen with full screen ads. Now with the video ads with sounds, interruptions and it asking you to install extra apps, free trails and more ad related stuff. It's slower than just using Google.

There should be a setting to remove all webshop/store related buttons including the invite friends button. These buttons are a visual distraction on a daily basis. Yes even the icon in the upper right corner. A setting is needed to hide all of that already seen marketing of further dictionaries. As these are, or become, further waste in the visual perception. Other than that, happy user since 2017.

Invasive! Look it up! Very poor development... Mobisystems prioritise ads over dictionary usability/functionality. Mobisystems cannot be trusted at a free app level. Hard to believe The Oxford English Dictionary have let Mobisystems loose on such an institutional reference! Update: nearly three years on, nothing has changed with the invasive ads OED's responding representatives said, they will review the frequency of ads. FREE advice to OED; if you change nothing, nothing will change!! Grow up!
