- (2020-10-11) Abby: This extension is great for doing research with hard to understand words with my schoolwork. It helps me understand what the text is talking about and now I can have a trusted site at my finger-tips. Great Work all!
- (2020-03-31) John Thimakis: Extremely handy extension. Works very well. No problems encountered so far. * TIP: If you have trouble finding definitions for a word and it reports that: [Sorry, we couldn't find any matching definitions...] Try not using plurals. Eg: Use, ie highlight: "allusion" instead of "allusions".
- (2019-11-20) David Blum: Great extension! She is really very helpful and fast!
- (2019-07-21) Oleksandr: it would be cool if when pressed the 'and * more' button the result was displayed in the same window rather than redirected to the site
- (2019-06-09) Gene Grant: Love this tool, very useful! I am curious as to what information it gathers beyond what is needed to look up a word, though. Is there a privacy concern regarding its use?
- (2018-09-14) Andy Li: For me it's the best dictionary program!
- (2018-02-12) Yigal Ben Efraim: Very useful app for instant definitions...
