★★★★☆ Amruth Balbailu · Oct 8, 2020
Good database. But, need to make it more user-friendly: 1. There should have been a bookmark option to mark our favorite Dictionary. 2. Option to download and use Dictionaries in Offline mod.
★★★★★ Ganesha Vate · Jun 29, 2021
I have benefited very much. Can get meanings of all rarely used words of any indian language. Heartfelt, thanks. All children should use for a good idea of different words
★★★★★ Anustup Bhattacharyya · Jan 28, 2022
One of the best repositories on Indian Languages. There is a huges collection of books, videos, dictionaries, educational content and pedagogical books. Great app! Please install after uninstalling the old version.
★★☆☆☆ Narayana Kumble · Aug 25, 2026
Dictionary is good. But very slow functioning and meanings of words do not come fast. Not quick. We have to wait hours to find meaning of words. Updates needed. Not updated since 2017. Gets stuck
★☆☆☆☆ Vijaykumar Tukaram · May 14, 2021
Not getting meaning for most of the kannada words
★☆☆☆☆ Dr. Suresh JK · Nov 2, 2021
It's almost a fortnight since the app doesn't work on my android phone. Please help! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Why is this app down for more than a week now? I could not even access the website on the browser to lodge a complaint. For such an excellent resource, it is difficult to believe how irresponsible the website owners are regarding maintenance. In addition, the app and website are so very user hostile and take a long time to provide results for each search.
★☆☆☆☆ Plspls Plspls · Nov 14, 2022
App is not working. Modi government is killing our languages indirectly.
