After several tries, I could not install the database. But for some reason it didn't like my wifi connection and was able to install it on another.

Wholly agree - too pricey for a flawed app... mine tells me I need to buy it & it won't let me access anything about half the time (I did buy it!) :(

Fast and easy to find words, but pricey and the pronunciation app doesn't work on my Droid incredible. Too much for a flawed app.

Completely agree with other reviewer: it is deceptive not to state flash card option is extra; also agree that price is beefy enough to include flash.

Excellent. As good as the merrium-web software on my pc (and modified slightly to make searching easier - wish. My software had this feature. Thanks

Easy to find words and fast. Add flash card app to store words you want to study. Worth the money since you don't need service to look up words.
