This is a good dictionary overall but please rectifying the following issues would make it better; = make it automatically follow light/dark modes setting of the phone to avoid eye strain in a dark room = add ability to sync bookmarks across multiple devices (preferably via Google).

A fantastic app that leaves little to be desired. Small, fast, ad-free, and customizable. Doesn't ask for unnecessary permissions and does not claim to collect any personal information either. Although, I would've appreciated an option to display closely matching words when I get the spelling wrong as it helps when I'm looking up esoteric words.

I have WordWeb installed on most of my PCs for more than 20 years. It's a piece of software that never lets you down. Always gives you a perfect word definition with a perfect example usage. No ads or tracking or data collection. Every feature makes sense and has been useful to me on occasions. I installed the paid version of the app today: WordWeb audio. I am sure, it will be similarly great. It's a small gesture for the amount of time it saved me over the years.
