Deceiving I installed the app, downloaded data, went to use and was prompted I had a 1 day trail then had to pay an astronomical fee to continue using it. Shady.

Not free Don't be fooled. The offline version is not free. They should make this clear from the outset.

Boooo! Shame on you Mobile Systems. I saw three previous reviews with one star, and even though one of them didnt seem too bad I was curious why such low ratings. I own the Mobile Systems Office Suite HD&PDF, and thought that, with how sweet. (no pun intended) and absolutely wonderful the Office Suite is, how can this app be different? Sure enough, I downloaded the app and then touched, "Open." When it opened it said, "To use this app in offline mode you must download the whole data." When I selected, "Download," a quick, almost like "Pop-up," covered up the previous little screen which said, "You have 1-Day remaining in your Trial Period." Then it gave me the option to either, "Unlock, "Cancel" or "Buy;" unlock and buy took me to the same Webpage. There is no way in H.E., double hockey sticks that I am going to pay $30.00 ($29.99) for a dictionary app, are you kidding me? Especially when I only paid $14.99 for a complete Office Suite; you want me to pay double that for a dictionary? Come on Mobile Systems! Bad form, bad form!

Deceptive: not free. This is not free. There is a two day trial and then you must pay $30. Thirty dollars for an app! Uninstalled.
