Latest reviews

(2025-07-03) 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!
(2025-06-29) 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.
(2025-06-22) Wajiha Abidi: Thank you for making my life easier.
(2025-06-22) YESEUL JEONG: I want to use in pdf files too...
(2025-06-20) Bob Loucks: Simple and handy... Clicking to hear the pronunciation works FINE, can't say why others are complaining (??)
(2025-05-26) Ivan Bachalo: Please add Ukrainian to the list of supported translated languages
(2025-05-23) Edward Avendano: I Installed It Earlier & It Seems Really Useful.
(2025-05-10) Md Salinur Rahman: good
(2025-05-05) 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 .
(2025-04-30) 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
(2025-04-23) 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
(2025-04-13) Blackman Sam: Such a lousy and trashy extension. It wasted my time.
(2025-04-11) Bryan Fernando: Very sigma tool
(2025-04-09) Perrson DC: very very useful tool
(2025-03-26) 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.
(2025-03-21) Warren Halderman: Good extension. Would be better if Chrome would let me disable extensions for specific PWAs.
(2025-03-15) 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-
(2025-03-09) minh hieu bui: Helpful.
(2025-03-06) Sameh: Incredibly helpful. Even works for translating from other languages.
(2025-03-03) 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
(2025-02-25) 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!
(2025-02-22) Art of Healing: Great.
(2025-02-19) Ahmad Tamanna: Great but I wish there was search history like google translate.
(2025-02-18) Forest: very useful and easy to use
(2025-02-14) Md. Shakil Khan: It is a great tool that allows users to access relevant word meanings quickly. However, one thing I want to point out is that this extension does not extract words from PDFs automatically as it does on webpages. If this feature could be added, it would probably be the best extension ever. 😊
(2025-02-05) Micah liu: it annoys me, it always shows "No definition found." so I launched my extension :"OMG Dictionary and Word Collector"
(2025-01-31) Rahul Tiwari: Simple and easy to use. Does its job perfectly!
(2025-01-30) ANM Jubaer: really helpful...
(2025-01-16) Pedro: 1) I want to change the background color. 2) Why not show me the phonetic symbols? 3) I want to change the font and size of the pop up. THANK YOU. I REALLY LOVE THIS
(2025-01-14) Bibek Ghimire: "This feature is incredibly useful. I previously encountered it on my Android device, where highlighted words are automatically searched. I then sought the same functionality on my PC. Upon discovering it on the Chrome Web Store, I immediately added the extension, brimming with excitement. Diving into exploration, I was astonished by its features. It included functionalities I had been contemplating and actively searching for, or even considering developing myself – such as automatic searching of highlighted words and phrases. Most impressively, it also records the history of searched terms, however, the audio for pronunciation is not working." Thank you google.
(2025-01-13) Nabil Islam: Thank you
(2024-12-20) Scott Darrington: Why does Google always take down small wonders that are beloved by tens of thousands of people? What do they get out of making their platform less useful?
(2024-12-18) Isabel Carbalan: SO CONVENIENT! Please don't take it down! As a student, I use this extension multiple times daily. Love the synonyms and time it saves instead of looking everything up individually. Definitely recommend!!!
(2024-12-16) Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant: Best dictionary extension ever
(2024-12-09) Paris Lloyd: it doesn't work on google docs at all?
(2024-11-30) DRYASR: Fantastic
(2024-11-28) Keith Chau: This is the best out there. Please continue to support it.
(2024-11-26) hailie lyall: i really hope you dont remove its super helpful and well made
(2024-11-25) Muhammad Omar Faruk: Please dont remove this. its really helpful tools
(2024-11-23) Elizabeth Lee: Please don't remove this, it's a really helpful tool for getting quick definitions and synonyms.
(2024-11-22) Miranda: BEST THING EVER!!! i hate having to search every time i dont know a word.
(2024-10-21) Hua Bai: It can't store words by directly defining one by "clicking the extension icon, typing in a word, defining", meaning I cannot download and learn these new words. This is a little pity, despite the fact that it has been a great tool in many aspects.
(2024-10-20) chew: [2024/10/21更新] 我自己重寫一個Google Dictionary但沒有Google Analytics的版本了，在這裡: https://github.com/Kishibe3/non-tracking-google-dictionary 注重隱私的人歡迎來用，我已經用了2年多了可不可以不要在工具裡面還埋Google Analytics的追蹤碼啊? 我用hosts檔把google analytics等等追蹤用的網域都屏蔽掉，結果這個擴充套件就不能運作了，有夠沒用的。這樣我還不如直接自己寫一個沒追蹤功能的Google Dictionary
(2024-10-16) Isom Hightower: Great extension, keep improving! 🤝
(2024-10-13) Noah Motl: Xavior Morris u just suck at it
(2024-10-04) Xavior Morris: its so trash
(2024-10-02) T. F.: Pronoucing button doesn't work.
(2024-09-22) Shachar Cohen: perfect and simple to use - super helpfull dont understand why google is removing it without any other better option why?
(2024-09-21) Matt Carson: I can't believe that this is slated to be removed!!!! I use it constantly. It will be such as hassle to have to open a new tab each time once the Google Dictionary extension is disabled.
(2024-09-21) Lester Ho: This extension is very useful.
