Lookup words in any other Android app with the Tap to Translate feature, and do it in style with any of the four colorful new themes. Is it correct to pronounce "mischievous" as a three-syllable word (miss -chi-vuhss) or a four-syllable word (miss-chee -vi-uhss)? Should we write "12 am" or "12 a.m."? If it is right to use "alumni" as the plural of "alumnus," why is it wrong to use "octopi" as the plural of "octopus"? What is the difference between "principle" and "principal"?

Não recomendo. Comprei em 2016 o dicionário OALD (A-Z+audio). Paguei quase R$ 80,00. Troquei de celular e para manter a versão paga precisa comprar de novo. Suporte lixo.

Ужасное приложение.На главном экране три иконки призывающие купить премиум на месяц за 1100 руб. Каждое действие, это призыв купить премиум.+ Рекламный баннер внизу. Такой мерзкий маркетинг давно не встречал в приложениях.
