Some bad moments

I love this app but it crashes constantly since I updated iOS. Either it crashes completely or it wont return search results and I have to restart it. Id love an update!
This is a wonderful resource but after upgrading to iOS 10, it crashes after 2 or 3 searches. Constantly rebooting is not an option. Please upgrade so we all can use it again.
5 stars just for that. Will update the review down the road. བོད་ཡིག་ Time !
This is a really good Tibetan Dictionary app. Thank you very much!
Dear to whom it may concern: I truly appreciate this free dictionary that is accessible to us. Hopefully in near future the amount of words will increase, because at this moment, not many english words are not included. Thank you.
Awesome app, highly recommend! ཐུགས་རྗེས་ཆེ།
