od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 15053446, před 7 letyHi Suraj, I am enjoying your add-on very much. I have installed (and later uninstalled) several Firefox dictionary add-ons because they did not have the information displayed in a way that was pleasing to me. You seem to have nailed it -- great job!
From the previous reviews I've read, it seems you are keen on obtaining suggestions from your users. I have a few helpful ones for you to take under advisement:
1.) directly beneath the first line where you have the word's syllables, please add the phonetic spelling of the word as well. Furthermore, the screenshots you've provided seem to show a speaker icon which I assume is an audio pronunciation. This was going to be my next suggestion, but after seeing it already shown in your screen shots, I am now thinking that perhaps it is just a bug that needs to be worked out. For your diagnostics, I am running a custom stripped-down bare-bones version of Win10 Pro v.1809 which I obtained from TeamOS.
2.) I would like to be able to verify a definition as I am writing sometimes; however, it appears that the add-on does not allow the user to get a definition pop-up box from a word selected within a textbox element.
3.) many words have multiple meanings and contexts. I would like to see the definition section formatted a bit differently to reflect this fact & for clarity. Specifically, have the word's part of speech (noun, verb, adj, etc.) with it's own CSS style & color scheme indented on the first level, then on the next line & indentation level, show the definition for that particular part of speech. repeat this format for each of the possible parts of speech that any given word may have. This will allow users to ensure they use the word correctly and is a much more thorough implementation structure in my humble opinion.
4.) Finally on to my last suggestion. I would like to see a collapsible link for synonyms and example sentences listed for each word's definition on every possible part of speech variation. When the user clicks the link once, synonyms or example sentences will appear directly below the link. Click once again and they re-hide themselves. For an example see lexico.com, who have a very nice yet minimal & effective implementation of this feature.
I hope that this review proves helpful & gives you a good list of goodies to work on for future releases!
Best,
James

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele stk1, před 17 hodinamiThis extension just doesnt work at all. All the words I highlight say no definition found
- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Moo, před 5 dnyDoesn't work at all anymore, sad :( Hard to find extensions like these, many don't work anymore.
- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18984254, před 15 dnywould love this. the only problem is it doesnt support multiple languages at the same time.
- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele MrMoodle, před 18 dnyI appreciate this add-on and the work that went into it. One crucial area of improvement to make it much more user-friendly would be to disable the popup in writing/input text fields. I find myself constantly closing the popup in search fields or text input when I'm not interested in definitions, but a word gets highlighted, and it's a nuisance.

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele faird, před měsícemThe addon is abandoned. It doesn't work any more and the dev is ignoring the submitted fix: github.com/meetDeveloper/Dictionary-Anywhere/pull/85
- Hodnocení: 2 z 5od uživatele bryanmac199, před měsícemI've used this extension for years, and found it was a must-have for me, even at work. However, it no longer works.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18599020, před 3 měsíciWorks again, also works much better than Dictionariez which is a scam app and I reported to mozilla.

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Vrako Mugion, před 5 měsíciIt was one of the best add on i used daily. But since last few weeks, it shows - "Sorry, No definition found." for every word even the simplest one and I have checked all. Permission, internet connectivity, reinstalling - but no use. It seems this add on is dead.
Developer do something please.. - Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele quoodles, před 6 měsíci
- Hodnocení: 3 z 5od uživatele RT, před 6 měsíciWhen it's working, it's great. But it keeps breaking - saying sorry no definition found for every single word. It did that a while ago so I turned it off and found a different add-on, but I didn't like it as much and I forgot why I'd stopped using this one so I turned it back on and it worked for about a day. Then it stopped working again. I see an update note saying this problem was fixed, but it has not been fixed.
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18882793, před 7 měsícithis extension is very good for me. I'm a student and have to research a lot of document and this extension really save a lot of time for me.
- Hodnocení: 3 z 5od uživatele Marc Lyons, před 7 měsíciYears ago, either this one or one similar worked so well to define any word I clicked or double-clicked.... it worked so well then and it was dependable. Was 5* dependable from what I remember.
This week, I found it strange that I was unable to see many options for a similar browser add-on and a couple days ago went ahead and grabbed this one. I've probably used it before and don't recall why it wasn't (until a couple days ago) in my extensions list.
Anyway, quick to the point, it worked for about 24 hours and now doesn't show any definitions in popup at all. I'd love for it to be consistent and to be dependable but currently not even the simplest words are defined.
I get the popup window but it shows, "Sorry
No definition found."
Hope in time there's a fix because it's an important tool for me and if I could count on it, I'd gladly buy those cups of coffee.
Best of luck and thank you for your work. Looking forward to using the Dictionary Anywhere extension again but for now I'll have to disable and search for something else. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Lawrence, před 7 měsíci
