Comments:
Great app to look up a Lallans word. There does seem to be a lacking in words. The dictionary entries can be confusing sometimes (might just add "means **** in Scots/English").
Great to see an app like this and more recognition for the Scots language. There's so little support of any kind for the Scots language, many people think it's just slang or deny that it's a language at all unfortunately.
Absolutely grand app, helps me look up words when I'm studying and reading or listening way easier than I've ever been able to before. Among the few good Scots dictionaries out there on the internet, this is definitely one of the best S-E ones out there. Keep up the hard work over there, we ought to get this beautiful language into a brighter spotlight! I must ask though, are there plans for any E-S dictionaries?
