Andrew Gray - June 19, 2012 - HTC Desire Promising but needs polished

As a dictionary, pretty good! My quibbles are mainly visual - the main page has a clumsy looking [edit] ; [refresh] link in the template which might be worth suppressing. There's also a lot of empty space under the word of the day box - perhaps a link to a random entry, or something noting that it covers English and non-English words as well? On individual word pages - firstly, indenting is a bit of a mess. After three levels of indent, the text is squashed to just half of the screen, making even a short quote quite hard to read and leaving a lot of unpleasant whitespace. As all example quotes have this sort of indenting, it's very apparent... (This is also a problem on the Wikipedia app, to be fair - but there, it usually only manifests on discussion pages, which most users won't read through the app.) Secondly, the audio links don't really work well - they take you to a file description page, which is pretty clunky. An embed here would be amazingly good. On the whole, the failings are mainly stylistic - as a tool, it's pretty useful. Some polishing and better handling of audio, and it'd be excellent.
