- (2022-02-07) Y Saeki: This is good Add-In. However, this Add-In may be advanced further. I hope that it can copy the text within popup and further popup can be showed up from popup text.

- (2016-07-12) qt qt: Good!But the frame including "powered by..."is very redundant.Hope it can be removed.
- (2016-03-29) Ngan: would be perfect if there is japanese-english option
- (2016-03-20) Gary Hall: It's a fantastic application and it's on the right track, but I hope the pop up dictionary cover more vocabularies rather than having to head to the Imagict website all the time for the definition. The vocabulary that I am specifically talking about are science and anatomy terms. If the popup can further expand the vocabulary to them, it would be a five star for sure!
