- Jubair Sheikh
- it is not storing the previously viewed words😥 please readopt the unprecedented feature,
- Ferndo Kuo
- this is what I needed but it can't seem to properly store searched words in history, which is a shame I often want to re-look up words i previously searched, which couldn't be achieved in incognito mode where the Google Dict box appears and not the bloody AI overview
- Autumn B
- *Was*a great, simple extension you could use either by highlighting a word and clicking the extension, or clicking the extension and typing a word into the search box. It returned both the definition of the queried word and provided a list of synonyms--which, you could click on within the same window to see their definitions. Now, it's NOTHING. Every word you select or search returns a,"no definition found," message. What a shame. Hope they actually fix it and aren't just trying to force us into using Gemini--but, if they don't do it soon, I'll never know because I'll have moved onto another extension.
- Toni Siik
- Not working anymore properly! "No definition found." If you spam button, you may get the result randomly!! Please fix it. Thank You.
- B T
- couldn't define complex, installed, page, ratchet, Russian and too many more. I was just playing with it and was amazed at how many common words it couldn't find.
- Jay Mendoza
- is this still working? everything is now "no definitions found". is this another way of Google trying to push gemini? i just want a simple definition, not a hallucinating definition.
- Java Huan
- Not working anymore, just say it "No definition found." and if you click few more time, you may get the result randomly!! Please fix it. Thank You.
- k p
- It is not working properly. For most words, nothing appears at all. Only for a few words does it show the definition. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.
- Ramtin Ra
- someone, fix this. it stopped working, like my ex when she stopped responding to my texts
- KElvin Chi
- It is not working now. Please fix it.
- CuSetxa
- It worked great—but it does not work anymore.
- André Gustavo Carlon
- Used this extension a lot, but I am also getting the same error: No definition found. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it.
- Suho Ra
- it doesn't work recently as the pop-up (bubble) window frequently (one out of 2 times) shows "No definition found. Search the web for "XXXX"»" (fill in any words for 'XXXX') when i double-click on a word on chrome pages. I tried to update the extension by clicking on "Update Now" button and retarted Chrome but to no avail. Please fix it as soon as you can, Thank you~~

- Muhammad Adil
- Not working for pdf and also many words are not available
- Abhishek Rai A
- Great
- Om Gupta
- Everything works perfectly but just ADD A FEATURE FOR PDF too.
- Mm mmm
- Doesn't work like the picture...pop up doesn't work. It just is a little dictionary icon you have to click on, use their search bar, and DRAGGING the word so you don't have to copy it doesn't even work...might as well use google then. Search bar is faster.
- Roshni
- EVERYTHIG IS JUST FINE JUST ADD A FEATURE FOR PDF TOO
- R Kushwah
- please make it to work in built in chrome PDF viewer. Not as aspect, good if looks like real dictionary define meaning, nouns, verb, synonyms.
- Crisjer Maglasang
- Awesome! It's easy to handle. However, it would be even better if pronunciation symbols were included.
- AL AMIN
- It is so unfair that every language is available without Bengali. We want Bengali translation immediately. We hope Google team well do a fair decision for us thank you guys :)
- Achintya Gautam
- This extension makes learning so much easier. Just double-click on any word, and the meaning pops up instantly! It’s fast, accurate, and saves time while reading or studying. Highly recommend it to all students and readers!
- שרולי
- Very useful tool. I have been using it since 2018. The only issue is, if I have "Display pop-up when I select a word or phrase" selected, I cannot have it pronounce the words. It just doesn't work.
- Wajiha Abidi
- Thank you for making my life easier.
- YESEUL JEONG
- I want to use in pdf files too...
- Bob Loucks
- Simple and handy... Clicking to hear the pronunciation works FINE, can't say why others are complaining (??)
- Ivan Bachalo
- Please add Ukrainian to the list of supported translated languages
- Edward Avendano
- I Installed It Earlier & It Seems Really Useful.
- Md Salinur Rahman
- good
- Mitanshu Verma
- when i select a word , it gives the meaning but if i click the cross icon , it pops up again , so i cant access the area under the pop up , because it keeps coming after tapping the cross icon , thats annoying , hope this is taken seriously .
- Kevin Wong
- When I try to use the tool to listen to a word's pronunciation, it won't work unless you're on a Google page
- Sebastián Fuentes
- When I try to use the tool to listen to a word's pronunciation, it won't work unless you're on a Google page
- Blackman Sam
- Such a lousy and trashy extension. It wasted my time.
- Bryan Fernando
- Very sigma tool
- Perrson DC
- very very useful tool
- Landis Reed (LandisTwo)
- it's ok. could be faster and Needs to look More like a Dictionary and not a 'fortune cookie' ticker tape... but, i guess that's what makes it quick. 9 out of 10 words I 'look up' (double click on) are Not in Google's dictionary, which seem weird, being they've search the whole web. the option to 'add to personal dictionary' is a lie. there is No way to 'add words i look up' within a webpage. none. only text fields.
- Warren Halderman
- Good extension. Would be better if Chrome would let me disable extensions for specific PWAs.
- Anjali Chaurasia
- I absolutely love the simplicity and utility of this extension but for some reason it refuses to work on pdfs, the speaker icon too does nothing when I press it so that's why I'll give it 4 stars-
- minh hieu bui
- Helpful.
- Sameh
- Incredibly helpful. Even works for translating from other languages.
- Caden Nguyen
- 4 stars because it is useful. While you might say it should be 5 stars, it is sometimes hard to understand certain words in the definition. Certain terms are not in the dictionary. Also, if your school allow this extension, you should install it. This might help cheat in school in tests (if possible or if the test is done on a device). Overall, I would say install it (if it is not blocked for you) because it can save time and can cheat in school. We do not want to take this down this extension
- dev vaibhav
- I think i am facing this issue recently. The extension gives me the definition by double clicking a word but no sound when I click the speaker icon. I double checked my speaker settings and they were ok. Hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks in advance!
- Art of Healing
- Great.
