Alright

Certainly slangs are like slagging off some words in a boozer. I wouldnt say its a wicked app in comparison with the others but Im not dischuffed. Pretty enough for learning common British slangs.

Could be better

It would be more useful if we could type the word and have the meaning - like a dictionary!

Great!

Easy and super useful!

British slangs

Glad its free, because some of them are just completely WRONG!

Am I missing something?

Lack of a search function makes it hard to use.

Needs a search option but otherwise great

Its a good app for British slang but has one critical flaw. Theres no search option add this and then Ill be happy

Much not slang, just Standard British English, the Queens English!

Not only is the presentation of words random, and there doesnt seem to be a way to look up the meaning of words, much of the so called slang is standard British English, as one finds in "The" dictionary of English, the Oxford English Dictionary. Very sloppy and not worth the time, and likely to cause embarrassment to anyone who tries to use it as a language guide in the UK. Horrible!

Cool

Although not very beautiful, this app is great to pick up some real life lingo.

What is a biscuit?

In American English a biscuit is a cookie, very different from a biscuit!

Very funny!

I am gobsmacked that they havent used at least some the words in a sentence. But I really like this, cute and interesting. Have had a lot of English GFs and brings back memories!

Not what I expected

Cant search for a word or phrase.

Good fun on a road trip or while traveling

The app is very helpful and provided hours of entertainment on a recent road trip. I would read off words and wed guess what they meant in American and Australian English. Only thing Id suggest as an enhancement is a few sentences to put the slang into context. :)

Needs some work

1) Needs ability to do a word search. 2) Needs ability to turn on/off the profanity, crude words. 3) Needs ability to show all words in a list. 4) Needs ability to show favorites in a list. 5) Needs ability to allow user to view words in random order or sequential order.

British words

Love it

5 minutes... Thats it..END

Some inaccurate "synonyms".. Overall its very useless; broken Cockney Rhyming Slang mixed with Northern word abbreviations; a reet load o bollocks but worth a chuckle

Cute app, could be better

This app is good in that it has the database of all the slang so its fun to read, but its not useful. It needs to be made more useful - as others have suggested, allow words to be searchable. But also add in a feature to give a "British slang word if the day". That would be awesome!!

Cute & funny,could be better

I love British slang and I always wanted to know more! This app helped me and actually laugh a few times! Its overall material was so so. Repetitive.

This app is awesome

Ok this app is pretty cool I had a lot of laughs over it

This. Is. Bad.

Terrible.

:/

It would be a funny app if it could be more age appropriate for a 13 year old.
