TRULY deserves ------10 Yes NEGATIVE 10 review
I don't tend to write reviews but this app truly deserves a -10 star review! I saved the worst for last since I quote their OWN privacy policy! 1. The app says that it takes 3.2mb of storage. However when loaded it takes over 5.64MB for the app alone. 2. IF it takes well over 5 MB of storage why does it require internet access? It will NOT run without internet access at all. The dictionary should be stored on the device. The Bible would take far far less storage if you need a comparison. 3. The menu is ONLY available from the home screen. It doesn't show up anywhere else, and doesn't even let yoiu know that you can only get it on the home screen. 4. The privacy policy included with the app is written in VERY small small print. When expanded large enough to read it because a major job of scrolling to discourage people from reading it. 5. Okay WHY does it need internet access when the dictionary is probably stored on the phone? Well lets look at their OWN privacy policy for the answer since most people wont read it. The privacy policy gives the company the right to not only save your devices ID, all the activities you do with their app, and your general location! Not ONLY that but that they can share it with ALL their partners including your phones ID! For those that don't believe me then here is part of their privacy policy in their OWN words: "[...] may collect and use information related your device, such as the unique device ID ("UDID"), the device type, operating system, and carrier information. [...] may collect and store information about your activities on the app and online/offline status and tie that information to your UDID. [...] may share such information with vendors who power certain features of the App such as voice recognition or push notifications, and with analytics vendors who help us better understand our App user demographics. Advertisers and advertising networks that place ads in the App may also collect, store and use your information about your usage of the App, your general geographic area and interaction with ads and to link this data with your UDID for their own usage, including targeting ads to you." This is in the app itself. I cut and pasted it directly from the app. If is written differently on the amazon site.
