What happened to the offline dictionary data. No matter how many times I download the Data, it simply can retain it making it impossible to use the app without internet. Kindly fix that inconvenience. We paid for the app expecting smooth experience.

1 star for pestering me to give a 5 star review after I have paid for the app. Reviewing the app should be voluntary! One month later it started displaying ads. (The app no longer displays ads on the paid version after several updates but it still asks for a review constantly). So, please do not pay for it! Use WordWeb! UPDATE: Now constantly displaying a reminder for premium/subscriptions for a few seconds even after paying for the full version.
