Suggestion: More extensive Look Up

Not sure how the new app is going, and whether the Look Up function is being improved with it.

Just want to make a suggestion re: look-up (holding over a word) - that something a bit more extensive comes up, similar to what is available when one right-clicks on the PC. From here, we should be able to jump to bible word study, or straight to a definition in a dictionary of our choice.

I've noticed that the dictionaries can be a bit hit-and-miss - it's as if only a couple of the dictionaries are "visible" to the iOS app, even though they are available in the iOS library (and even available offline).

Hope some of these things can be implemented - to help catch up, and hopefully overtake some of the competition! (Competition is healthy!)

cheers, dave

    HI David - and welcome to the forums.

    I agree it would be nice to be able to more easily get to dictionary definitions in the app but I don't understand the comment about BWS.

    From the "Look up" button I can get directly to BWS, when online.

    Are you seeing something different?

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    True, I can get directly to BWS when online - I guess I just meant that we should be able to go straight to the dictionary definitions (and include among the searchable dictionaries everything from lexicons, through Merriam-Webster, through ISBE/AYBD etc) in addition to the BWS.

    Hope this clarifies the comment.

    Thanks again,

    dave
