Could be much better – Oxford Russian Dictionary 2018 Review

I use this app because it’s an app, and my other, more complete resources are books or websites. On one hand, it’s handy for what it is. It seems to have quite a few words. On the other hand, it could be so much better. Eg, it could have the keyboard related to whether you do English->Russian (English KB), or the opposite (Cyrillic KB). There is no reason to have to select both. For some reason I often can’t easily get rid of the previous word typed. The interface just doesn’t work as efficiently as one would hope (sometimes seems better than others). But the thing that is most unfortunate is that declensions aren’t included. So you can end up searching for a word for which you don’t know the nominative/dictionary case, and not easily find it. Maybe this would just be too big, but it’s something to know and a negative when web-based options do do this. So plus side: handy, Oxford-based; minus side: word lookup clunky, words not declined.
