NAVER Dictionary for Negative User Reviews

✓ DissapointedI've been using this app to look up words and save them in the"wordbook" which is the feature it provides for you to save vocabs you searched. After the recent update, it just decided to wipe out everything I have saved. How unreliable and inconvenient. If I had known, I would've never used this app to store any information. VERY disappointed!!! What's the point of creating a wordbook if it won't save anything?.Lyn88615Version: 2.1.6

✓ Sign in with Apple is brokenSign in with Apple doesn’t work, so I tried to create an account but was immediately told I couldn’t sign in because of “suspicious activity.” I wouldn’t care, but the Word Book feature isn’t accessible unless you sign in..QuentamiaVersion: 2.8.4

✓ 이번에 버전업 하고 사전 이용하기 개 짜증남!사전 이용자들은 모르는 단어 검색이 목적이지 네이버에서 만든 각종 프로그램을 시청 혹은 청취하기 뉘해서 이용하는 게 아니다! 왜 사전 첫 화면에서 검색 하려고 하면 리로딩 되어서 자판을 못 누르게 하는지 모르겠다! 사전을 이용하지 말고 자기네들이 올린 컨텐츠나 봐라는 건지... 네이버 하는 짓 보면 장삿속이 시커멓게 다 보인다!.JP BaekVersion: 2.4.3

✓ The VLIVE examples function disappeared :(After i updated to the newest version, the translation script of VLIVE expamles no longer isist. Thats was my most favorite function of this app and in my opinion, thats function make this app different to the other dict app. I really hope it can be fix and make that function come back !.Camelly1594Version: 2.3.1

✓ Embarassing😂😂 the words are so off and don’t even bring up the actual words, I searched the word “full” and it brought up coffee this app is not trustable don’t download it.4kFehlize (add m on twitch)Version: 2.5.6

✓ 뭔 사전이 뜻은 제대로 안알려주고정작 뜻은 안 나오고 엉뚱한 것만 잔뜩 나오냐.웹툰Version: 2.6.3

✓ 기능개선요청몇년간 써오고 있는데 단어 검색후 발음 들려주는 기능 다시 추가해주세요. 저번 업뎃후 기능이 없어져서 발음을 듣는기능이 없네요. 그리고 동의어 반의어도 있어서 좋았는데....Ej amyyVersion: 2.3.6

✓ So slowSo slow that I rather use Naver website instead..TunaChamchiVersion: 1.1.5

✓ Helpful, but could use some workI got this app because I wanted to try out Accentia. The app has a lot of features that I find helpful. The dictionary is nice, the daily conversation is cool, and I like Accentia a lot, but it also has a lot of problems. I enjoy using Accentia’s talk feature, but the app often cuts me off while I’m speaking and makes me record things over and over. You can’t hesitate for even a second, or else it will cut you off or force you to re-record the sentence over and over. I like Accentia because it allows me to listen to native speakers and practice my speaking and reading, but these issues hinder my ability to do that. NAVER, please fix some of the recording features in Accentia..Ness227_Version: 2.8.3

✓ HORRIBLEThe app itself is very complicated, it also tends to freeze on me. It isn't an app getting after trying to translate korean to english, this app made things worse..AxzomosVersion: 2.8.4

✓ Poorly handled migrationIt seems that there is a new version and an old version of the site and app. The new version has a blue layout and looks slightly more modern. Both the old and new versions are accessible on desktop, confusingly enough, but the mobile app is on the new version. The frustration comes in the fact that the new version requires you to migrate your word book from the old version. This is apparently an action manually triggered by the user via a Start button, according to the blogpost. However, no where in sight do I see this supposed Start button. I feel like my account is in this weird limbo where I shouldn't add new words to my word lists, and I can't access my old word lists on mobile. Moreover, the new version on desktop is basically the mobile app layout but stretched out, which makes it look awkward and wastes space on a computer screen. Please resolve this word book migration issue and please design the new desktop site to be more optimal for desktop screen sizes..JyuuriVersion: 2.6.6

✓ Not really easy to use…Too many functions and dictionaries with not user friendly interface….DailyeyesVersion: 2.7.1

✓ Used to be great... butUsed to be a great app, I used it all the time to aid in my Korean studies. But now the translation feature is completely missing in the latest update. Almost have no use for it anymore..KendonnVersion: 2.2.1

✓ 무슨 이상한 응모 하라고계속 홈 화면에 뜨면서 창을 닫지도 못하게 만들어서 진짜 짜증나네요. 아니 어떻게 창을 닫지도 못하게 홈화면에 광고를 뛰우나요? 지웁니다. 다신 네이버 안 써요.네이버 망하세요Version: 2.7.7

✓ Really annoying startup, for a dictionaryThis is essentially a mini browser for one site. As soon as the page loads, you start typing, but then the whole page refreshes and deletes what you wrote. And then, because you didn’t react in time, your next keypress hits one of the homepage links and you start watching a video on another page..QuestacionVersion: 2.5.1

✓ 파파고 싫어They recently changed their own dictionary to papago by default and i hate papago!! please go back to the old version or at least give us the option!!! the previous translation service was so much better 😠.MimoletotyioVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Not for English speakersI downloaded this because I thought I could look up Korean words.. well they only have dictionaries written in Korean! In other words they have KR-EN and KR-KR but no EN-KR. Very disappointing, you would think they could easily reverse it..CaseypenkVersion: 1.2.3

✓ 도저히 단어를 찾을수가 없게뭐이렇게 덕지덕지 기능을 가져다가 만들어 논건지.. 정신이 없어서 단어를 찾을 수 가 없네요.Timkimmy72Version: 2.7.7

✓ Incredibly poorly designedThis app has a very over-complicated user interface, with help pop ups that make little sense. It’s better to just use the Naver website. It seems like they’ve tried to do too much with this app and didn’t really plan anything out, now it’s just a convoluted mess..Rlr524Version: 2.8.8

✓ I cannot login / phonetic symbolsIt shows an error message when I try to login with my Line account. Also, why did you remove phonetic symbols from all of the English words?.Bug100194Version: 2.2.9

✓ Inaccurate translationsUser interface has changed and the translations are wrong or poorly explained..Will8ableVersion: 2.7.5

✓ Unable to change the language setting to full KoreanIt's an amazing app, but I am unable to change the setting to full Korean. It resets to korean-english version everytime I reopen the app. Very annoying that I cant change the language setting..HennybahsldVersion: 2.7.5

✓ Can’t sign in with appleCan’t sign in with apple.Snaq5786777Version: 2.8.7

✓ 제발 아이패드 스플릿 뷰 다시 지원되게 해주세요 ㅠㅠ항상 아이패드 스플릿 뷰로 어학공부 했는데 업데이트 하면서 스플릿 뷰 기능이 사라졌습니다 ㅜㅜ 너무 불편해졌어요 ㅜㅜ.Yo! mtv rapsVersion: 2.8.0

✓ 잘 쓰고 있습니다만 일본어 단어장 공부할때 제발 이 기능좀 개발자님!!!일본어 미암기 단어장 한번씩 테스트 할때 뜻가리기, 단어가리기 있는데 뜻가리기했을때 히라가나도 가리기 기능도 제발 추가해주시면 안될까요? 일본어는 한문 읽는게 제일 중요한데, 히라가나가 무조건 옆에 붙어서 보이니, 공부가 안됩니다… 저말고도 전부 공감하는 부분일겁니다 선택적으로 히라가나를 가리게 할수 있게 하거나 해주시면 정말 완벽한 앱으로 손색이 없습니다 담당자님 조금만 힘내주세요!.Nick vivisVersion: 2.7.2

✓ So annoying after it changedUsed to like this dictionary app but after they add to show their web drama ad automatically it so annoying that I have to wait app load their drama ad twice load..KdksnssjVersion: 2.4.9

✓ Naver is inoperableThis poorly designed app is impossible to use in an iPhone. (1) I want to learn Korean and use the Korean dictionary, but the app keeps wanting to teach me English or some other language, even though when initially selecting sub-apps I selected only Korean ones and deleted all the English ones. (2) The placement of link icons is such that it’s too easy to end up in a place that is useless to a user like me and where one never intended to go. After multiple reinstallments, I give up and, most regrettably, will rely on Google Translate despite its serious shortcomings..“nonickname"Version: 2.8.7

✓ Slow and often not as good as other appsAs someone who speaks several languages, has worked on machine translation, and also used to live in Korea, I think this app is disappointing. The most obnoxious issue I’ve had is that I’m rarely still logged in and the app clearly has loading times that are egregiously slow for a mobile app. Compare this to something like Pleco for mandarin and it’s even more obvious. There should be an option to disable some features that require internet connection. Also, the UI is designed in a way that I can’t easily tell which direction (english to korean or korean to english) I’m even trying to translate in. The times it has worked in the ideal way, I did get pretty good results in terms of definitions and examples. Although, I think the examples need curating because they often aren’t very diverse. The desktop site at least has far better usability in my opinion.SicknannersVersion: 2.8.2

✓ 아이폰os업데이트이후 키보드 문제 발생실제 입력보다 검색창에 나타나는게 렉 걸린것처럼 몆박자 늦게 나옵니다. 매우 불편합니다. 마치 키보드 어플 쓸 때처럼요. 빠른 수정이 됐으면 좋겠어요..러버볼Version: 2.7.7

✓ Update?I don’t have this app installed on my ipad, but it keeps showing as if I have to update. :(.Jess Lee (JYL)Version: 2.3.1

✓ App vs WebsiteI noticed the new app version doesn’t have all the words and definitions that the web site version has. Just one example with a random word I just needed to look up - 밤새우다 - it gives me nothing in the app but it has a definition and examples when I look on the website. Can the app have all the definitions the website has? I like the app better because it includes things like conjugations and audio examples of them, but it’s not as helpful if it doesn’t have all the same definitions. 감사합니다!.ErrieVersion: 2.5.9

✓ Why is this designed so poorly!Your Papago app rocks! Like it’s incredible. I can’t get over how amazing your Papago app is. I really think you should take some of the styling from that app and borrow it. The app functions like a website? But it’s really messy and difficult to use. If you made it easier to use I’m certain more people would download it..Tanq_manVersion: 2.8.4

✓ Pronunciation not availableWhat’s the point downloading it if I can’t hear the pronunciation in the app?.FinitelyVersion: 2.4.6

✓ What happened with this update?Why does my dictionary now only have basic text and no graphics? It also no longer works. Super mad I updated!!.Squirrel6sVersion: 2.2.0

✓ Absurdly unintuitive UI!Perhaps one of the worst UI layouts I have seen! Instead of showing the user which dictionary has been selected (eg English to English), the UI fails to inform the user about the dictionary that is currently selected. This glaring flaw needs to be updated, quick! Otherwise, the app is fine and the underlying contents ie definitions are completely satisfactory.Michael O'LearyVersion: 2.8.4

✓ Terrible for Korean learners nowThe new interface has made it nearly impossible to use this for learning Korean. You can basically only use it for learning English now.Joslin81005Version: 2.8.7

✓ Glitch or not that great updatePreviously you could easily find the translator but presently it's almost impossible to find. Initially I was also able to sign in using my LINE account but now it doesn't work for me although the software regularly updates. I mean the new update is great as a phrasebook more than it was previously, I guess, but trying to find a translator I might now prefer the online web version instead. Nonetheless thanks for the service; anticipating for future improvements..\_(Y_Y)_/Version: 2.2.0

✓ Loved it before papagoI don't know if their was some sort of sell-out to, but the Papago translator engine is a serious step down from the previous version. Really frustrating that this change was made. Otherwise, this app is an essential for assisting my self-study..5 Yrs GermanVersion: 2.3.5

✓ Like itI pretty like it, however, I hope some info. that pop out first when I get in, hope to make choice to see or not anymore.Dictionary. popVersion: 2.3.6

✓ Confusing and SlowThe layout is just so confusing and clustered. It’s so difficult to even search for Korean Hanja. Please change the layout so that it’s smooth and simple..UsleasVersion: 2.5.5

✓ 여러모로 불편-Pronounce 는 왜 없나요 -발음기호도 없고 -활용형 위 세가지는 네이버 앱. 에서는 제공되면서 정작 사전 앱에서는 제공 되고 있지 않습니다. -유의어/ 반의어/ 동음이의어/ 유사어 등 네이버에서는 연관검색어 이더라도 뜨고(앱에서도 제공됨) 공부에 도움이 되는데 이런 부분을 사전 앱에 포함된다면 참 좋겠습니다. 네이버 앱에서 직접 검색하는 거보다 불편하게 되어 있는데 대체 그럴거면 왜 사전 앱을 쓸까요. 많은 개선이 필요해 보입니다. (5개월 정도 꾸준히 쓰고 있는데 이제는 사전앱을 안 키고 그냥 네이버 써요..).Aileen772Version: 2.5.0

✓ All the Korean websites needs Local id verification :(I have Naver id cause I made it in Korea before.....But all the foreigners and even Koreans who live abroad (with no Korean local mobile numbers or other local id verification programs) cant make a new ID ... So thats why naver cant be an internationally popular.IDGAFFFFFVersion: 2.4.7

✓ Using it offlineIn terms of the word book, actually, it’s impossible to study words in my word books through this app without internet. It’s quite inconvenient to those who are frequently out of the internet. It’s the function really necessary to download the word books in the phone and allow users to study words whenever they want even they are out of the internet connection..Streaming jazzVersion: 2.3.8

✓ Becoming BloatedPlease let me turn off the annoying TTMIK video. I like defaulting to the Korean Learners dictionary, but it is irritatingly bloated with media now. Naver is a great dictionary, but the app keeps adding more and more bloat. Sometimes it’s best just to stop (or just give people the option to disable display sections).RoninMoboVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Not loading properlyWhen I try to use it it loads to a blank page. I tried it over different internet connections and still get the same result. Please fix. Thanks..Alesya94Version: 2.2.9

✓ Used to be great, but not any moreWhen this app included the Naver translator, as a Korean language student I used it more than any other in my studies. Unfortunately, the translator portion seems to have been cut in favor of Papago translator, which is not even close. The Naver version had a superior user interface and also showed you the source words and possible source words — exactly what you want to assess and learn. Without the translator, this app does not seem much better than any other dictionary. In fact, I’ve ended up deleting it because I no longer use it, nor am I finding Papago translator very useful. Hopefully Naver will reconsider and restore what was the hands-down best Korean translation app available..KS4321Version: 2.4.7

✓ Bring back the old translator.I remember using the app a long time and I like the old translator that was inside the app. I don’t like Papago Translate. :( Please please bring back the old translator that was inside this app. :(.TheAnimeFan8Version: 2.4.1

✓ No audio for koreanYou say your app is for foreigners. but why is the audio only in english?? please add the korean pronunciation from 국어사전 on naver. your app is bad because i can’t hear korean. edit- i found out how to find it. but why is that hidden ???.FlatkatcarsnicoenckfcVersion: 2.4.0

✓ WhyWon’t let me sign up for some reason!!.KimchiQueenVersion: 2.3.1
