Question

Lost ability to copy definitions

I use this app to read foreign language books.  I used to be able to touch a word, define it, copy the definition, return to the word, highlight it, and paste the definition in the note section.  This allowed for easy review of words I looked up.  This no longer works because the function is gone to copy the definition after recent a recent iOS update. PLEASE repair this function.

 
And, while you’re at it, in the definition window, consider adding a button to 1. Highlight the word, and 2.  directly paste the definition in the notes.  That would be worth 10 stars!

Hello @Mr. Truite 

 

I hope you're doing great, and sorry for the trouble.

 

To see the definition of the words, please follow these steps:

  1.  Long press the word to select it.
  2.  You will see the menu bar appear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Click on this ">" icon.

4. Then click on "Look up"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.  You can now see the definition of the word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know if this works.

 

Regards,

Krutikka

Hello - Your answer doesn't address my issue exactly.  I know how to see definitions for words. I lost the ability to select, copy, and paste the definitions into the comment section.  This ability was helpful to review the comments words I learned in foreign language.
