Dictionary.com: English Words Positive Reviews

LOVE. THIS. APP!!!I use this app absolutely every day! If I’m in a meeting, or even just having a conversation with someone, and they use a word I’m not familiar with, I’ll make a mental note of it, or jot it down, and as soon as I have a chance, I immediately pull up this app and look up any words I made a note of. I do the same thing when I’m watching TV and any new or unfamiliar words come up... I press pause, and pull up the word in my amazingly handy and convenient Dictionary app! 😁💁🏼‍♀️ This is one of the most substantial and most frequently used apps I have, and I ALWAYS go for any upgrade they offer, which I reallyyyy COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE! One of my FAVORITE things about this app is the *Learners* tab, which you can click on, especially if the definition is somewhat vague or unclear, and I’d say a good 70-80% of the time, at least, they have a break down of the meaning of the word, how to use it, and how to incorporate it into a sentence, etc~ which is incredibly valuable when you’re just beginning to learn and understand a word and how to use it. I just love it!!! Inevitably, I will continue on to the *Example Sentences* tab to see how the word is further used in different ways and contexts, which is also extremely helpful. It’s always surprising to me how much use I get out of this app, but it has helped me immensely to expand my vocabulary, and for that, I’m extraordinarily grateful. I wish I could give this app 10 stars!!! ✨⭐️🌟.Lauren808Version: 8.13.1

User Interface is BadWhen it comes down to actually using the app, user interface is pretty bad. Non-English ads pop up and you have to guess which word will close the ad. There is no X to close it and a bunch of pop-ups open when you guess wrong. I mainly use this as a widget on my iPhone home screen, to see Word of the Day. For that purpose, it is great. However, if you want to dig deeper into the daily word, you open the app and the ad issue appears. Close the app, reopen, and try the action again. The same ad reappears. I am 24yo and have never wasted this much time on an app before. I might buy the ad-free version, depending on the cost. But if it’s a monthly deal that costs more than $1 then that is a bad deal. My advice to the developer: ads are annoying enough, but we understand the necessary funding they provide you; please use the language per user so we can waste as little time as possible. Leaving reviews like this is time consuming and not fun. I hope this report helps to improve user interface for all users..Sydney's SecretVersion: 11.2.0

Bad word of the day trendI used to engage this app often. When I needed a word, when I wanted to expand my lexicon and improve my parlance. I loved to see the exciting word of the day and challenge myself to use it. However, recently they have begun exhibiting boring and commonplace words of the day that I have absolutely zero interest tapping on the notification. I found myself loathing to even open the app when I need a definition because of the stupid mundane word of the day. Curse the developers for having damned me to this wretchedness. But then, one day, I tapped on the word of the day. It was something stupid, like “garden”, and the actual word of the day when I opened the app was something like “meliorism”, a word I actually didn’t know. In conclusion, this was a user error. What was happening is that I was getting notified of the synonym of the day, which supplies a simple word and several synonyms for it. Which it totally fine. Boy do I have egg on my face for that one. Rather, I have albumen and vitellus on my visage. Good app all in all..Yana man 25Version: 11.1.1

Dictionary of the day is awesome!Dictionary of the day is an effective and fun way to easily increase your vocabulary or remind you of words that might have slipped your mind over the years or for that moment when you are distracted and do not want to wake up slapping your forehead at 3AM. Also, one of the biggest benefits is that I am usually able to sneak in at least 3-5 other new/remembered words after reading the daily one. This is why I initially got the app. However, after now using this Dictionary app every day over the course of years; I have found it to be helpful, efficient, easy to use and can be fun and diverting. The reasonable price is the cost of an high calorie, high cholesterol, fattening and unhealthy CappaFrappaAnywayYouLikeItCino and once you enjoy that drink it will be gone forever. But this wonderful Dictionary/Thesaurus with all of it’s content will be with you forever. Considering other options that I have personally used; such as MW, et. al., I most highly recommend this app..GirlDrVersion: 7.5.21

My opinionI love this Dictionary/Thesaurus. It’s easy to use, quickly find the perfect words, because words mean something. Willy-nilly putting words in a business letter, school paper, or Doctorate Thesis because they sound lofty, or because your Professors used it in class(that may not be too bad), or because you’ve used it already in the paper you are writing and that can sound redundant. Words convey your thoughts, your ideas, they are the basis for communication, and in this world of “post-it” text where you have limited characters in which to get your thoughts, feelings, and ideas across, words are even more important! The love of words is something I have had all my life, but then I grew up reading, and enjoying how good writers expressed themselves. Get to know this app! The extra perks, like Word of the Day, and other beneficial extras can test your mind and keep you thinking. So yes, I would recommend this app for everyone..MoldyIrishVersion: 10.0.0

I don’t know what’s happening with the app.For the last few weeks (or maybe the last month) I’ve been experiencing a lot of issues with the app, I have the upgrades and everything in order to avoid distractions in the app, however I been having a lot of issues with the search of vocabulary... when I used to type something I would have to search for the word and then refresh for the result to show up as it always gave me an “error” and I wasn’t able to see the content unless I refreshed my search which got super annoying after a couple of times I had to do it, now after this update I try searching for words and it keeps loading indefinitely and no results are shown. This is very annoying and time consuming and it’s super inconvenient... I been having to go to google in order to find the definitions. Super disappointed, please fix these ongoing issues..GrglzoVersion: 8.3.1

Where did all these forced ads come from???1) The ads are overkill to say the least. This used to be. 5 star app- I never had to deal with all these stupid pop-ups and inescapable video ads. You’re lucky Siri’s integrated thesaurus is so limited or else I would’ve deleted this app a long time ago. 2)Personally this has become a more recently growing issue. I’ll search thesaurus for word, “x”, with 0 results, no synonyms available. However, if I search for something synonymous with “x”, such as “n”, a whole list of synonyms pop up, including “x”!! ugh 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Other times when I’m looking through a given list of synonyms , I’ve clicked on a word for its definition, but there is no definition available bc the dictionary doesn't even recognize this word exists. . Vise versa after looking up a definition , I’ll try to use thesaurus on it , but it comes up no synonyms available. And trust me both problems are equally frustrating. Seriously, how can you know the synonymy of a word on one side of your app, but can’t deliver its friggin definition on the other side. Stupid..The.RachelVersion: 7.5.1

Vocabulary is PowerMark Twain advised ; “Never argue with a stupid person, they will only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” I use the Dictionary app every single day, no kidding. To take quizzes, learn the difference of and the correct way to use words. Word of the day is awesome and in my morning email daily. Pretty cool right? The videos are clear concise and often humorous making learning fun. Sometimes I am little shocked by the subject/content of the articles/videos ie; (or is it eg;?) lol Topics of sex & sexuality, rec. drugs I kinda think “whoa” however by all accounts they’re current, relevant and educational. The other apps associated with Dictionary are fantastic also! Using the same or similar format makes them easy to navigate from day 1. I have this app 5 stars because they didn’t offer any above that..Keely MaltbyVersion: 8.13.1

An excellent app that functions wellI appreciate the use of the Dictionary app every day. Learning words by definition as opposed to context has been quite the enlightening experience. The ads that are shown are not frequent, and are usually done/ can be skipped within 5 to 10 seconds. This is always appreciated when my mind is athirst for knowledge. Jeffery Epstein did not kill himself. The app functions well. I have no complaints on its performance and have kept it on the front page of my apps list for a very long time. The added Thesaurus in the app is a very useful tool as well, being able to easily access unique or more suitable words for my sentences both at work and in my personal life. Major props to the administrators who keep the app functioning well. Thank you so much!.SzordorlVersion: 11.4.0

Best dictionary everSo all of this started about 2 years ago when I got this app, I didn’t really use it because I had a thesaurus app that was also a dictionary, and because I had a real dictionary. Anyway, I randomly logged on on Star Wars Day (I’m a huge fan) and the word of the day was Jedi. I thought that was great, so I logged on the next SW day, and the word of the day was saber. Now this time, being a year older and therefore so much more mature, I decided to actually check out the app, and it’s really great! It has crosswords and other puzzles, words quizzes, (there’s a SW one) a scrabble unscrambl-y thing, and a crossword solver! It’s honestly so much fun, and very useful. You should really get this app, you won’t regret it. P.S. For marvel and Harry Potter fans, there are also quizzes for your chosen franchise..1treasure4lifeVersion: 10.0.0

DictionaryI am a writer but terrible at spelling. And even do not how toPronounce a word. This is my favorite app. If u want a easy app. That just helps u with hardly any effort. This app is for u. I am writing a book for God. I use this app a lot and I have gained do more knowledge from it. I love looking up definitions to words. To open the meaning of it. And it pronounces words that I do not know how to. Thank you very much. This app has opened new worlds to me. By really learning words we often use. But each time I look up a word. After reading theDefinition and hearing it pronounced. I have gained a deeper knowledge of that word. If I can not pronounce the word. I keep listening to thePronunciation of words. That this app taught me. ***GET THIS APP*** u will grown to depend on it. And the knowledge of words are addictive..Lov moneyVersion: 9.13.0

Likes and DislikesGreat App! I love the layout, it’s quick and easy. Lots of options including word of the day, favorite searches, and a premium package. I only have a couple cons, I do wish the app had a “recent search” options which ties into my second con. Sometimes when you exit the app momentarily, when you open it up you’re back on the main page. If there was a recent search option or a way for it to not time out so quickly it would make it a bit easier. I personally use this for school and my business. So when I’m looking for a word I use the Thesaurus frequently. It’s very nice you can click on the word options and view their definitions. But if you exit the app and it’s gone. Can be hard to find that trail again..Of course that name was takenVersion: 7.5.29

“Try it for Yourself”I downloaded Dictionary App few years back. I’ve never been considered a Nerd, in fact I was the opposite. If I made a C, I was happy. (good golley not cool). But in the midst of all that, I always had a Dictionary…in fact I found myself looking up words anytime I came across one I wasn’t sure of. For real! Daniel Webster & I were pretty tight. My first SmartPhone was an iPhone 6. I quickly realized w/ all the stuff that phone could do, there was one thing missing. Can you guess? If you said Dictionary, you’re very much correct!! I shimmied to that App Store & downloaded what I knew to be a Webster’s Dictionary aka the Dictionary App that prompted this Review.👍🏼👍🏼 One last thing…try it for yourself, you’ll be glad you did. 😃😁 I love it!!♥️❤️.Onionw/2manylayersVersion: 11.2.1

I live word of the dayAbsolutely the most used app on my phone at least the most daily personal app that gives me insight and I’m in some way moved when it seems that on most days that they are specifically hand picked for me or that it had a close encounter with something of my life that seems to be all to normal to me know because I can see were in knowledge comes very interesting things like education and technologies and that can be shared like a virus and that each time we send a idea or image in our Minds that we are spreading out disease of a thought processs back into the world around us to be chipper fed and recalculated into one disease infested blob of a thing after the next to composer of the world in broad daylight running in famed out crantastic lightbulb yikes for fact.Julie meyersVersion: 8.13.3

Rip-off | No choice view1st comment: I purchased all of the options listed as a bundle cost. When this upgrade came along all of the expansions except Thesaurus was removed. Now all I see are cost on each expansion to restore. Not good. 2nd comment: I can’t stand this new “Forced Portrait” view. An iPad is best held in “Landscape” view. Plus, all of the iPad-support-stands support iPads in the Landscape view. It is so inconvenient to look up a Word on iPad then have to grasp, rotate to vertical view just to read the definition. Please, unlock the rotation feature and restore this option. And with all these new advertise in play it would suggest that the original developing company has been sold and the press for profits is full court..Taylor RevereVersion: 9.4.0

Updated reviewI use this app a ton, and I love that it has IPA descriptions, and includes various pronunciations, however (at least on the app, maybe not on the website), it'd be helpful if each version showed (with an abbreviation) the country of origin, i.e. US, IR, AUS, GB, NZ. One last fix I would make: please review the example sentences. I was contacted by someone from the app about this, which is really cool, and he/she explained that they are automatically generated and may use one definition more than another. That's fine, but what I've found frustrating more than anything is that if a word is pretty rare, the example sentences will often include proper nouns as they example, like someone's last name. It'd be great if they could screen for that, because it's definitely not a good example!.RheaMaggieVersion: 11.5.0

Bugged and missing(?) advertised features.The sign-in screen doesn't work for me as a returning user. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I can't download any sort of basic or complete dictionary or thesaurus, despite it being advertised in the IAP benefits. Maybe the feature is hidden - in that case, please make it more obvious, or add a link in the "Upgrade" tab. Also, it's a little strange that the Upgrade button doesn't go away in the side bar after the purchase, nor does it help you understand how to use your benefits. Other than these issues, it's a pretty good app, and the only full-featured dictionary on the app store with a one-time purchase option that I would wholeheartedly recommend if I could be certain that it worked. This review will be updated when these issues are addressed..Isak_ScamDetectorVersion: 11.5.0

Love it. Use it dailyI began using this app a couple years ago to help my son expand his vocabulary. Soon after, I was using the thesaurus for myself on a regular basis when drafting anything from professional letters to simple emails to friends! The thesaurus is my favorite. I also use the dictionary occasionally when I'm not sure if I'm using a particular word appropriately in a sentence. I love this app. I also used it to help a friend draft a resume that was very professional. (Yes, she got the job!) I should also mention the speed of this app. I can find a synonym or definition in a matter of seconds. Again, I LOVE this app. Now, if someone could come up with an app to help us learn to use punctuation correctly, I would use that everyday as well..AnnlynnRNVersion: 7.5.21

A wonderful tool for elementary students too.My daughter uses this app almost everyday as a companion to reading her novels. She oftentimes comes across words she is unfamiliar with. The dictionary app provides a quick way to access words while she still holds onto her book. We also did homework together last night and the thesaurus feature was wonderfully designed so that one can search antonyms and synonyms while effortlessly switching back to the definition of the original words and newly found words. Lastly, this is a "must purchase" app. You'll experience the app best by having no interruptions. This is important especially if you want a child to use it to build vocabulary while reading independently..JoaniewrightVersion: 7.4.4

Review about the application dictionaryI am finding that studying the word pronounce with comparing like words may show strength in contrast to words that may have same meaning is a promising way to learn how and when to use; also rather used as a noun or verb helps me. I have dementia so it is also keeps my brain functioning better with using this app. Needless to say it is fun and I feel like I am gaining ground instead of losing my ability to use correct words and pronounce correctly. Thank you so much for the gratitude of helping me. I hope that I can more ways to help me to maintain my thoughts and expressions. I am gaining more confidence that I might not lose words. It is a joy..Patricia TracyVersion: 11.6.0

Overall pretty great, a few annoying ticks, thoughGreat website. Great definitions. Ok app. It is not the most user-friendly. I will be looking up various definitions and all of the sudden, a loading icon will pop up and not go away until I leave and refresh the app. The scrolling is also extremely sensitive, which can get annoying at times. The app also has a feature that allows you to press a word in the definition, which takes you to the definition of the word you just pressed. Super useful, except when you press the back button to return to your original search, it takes you back like 4 searches ago instead of the one you just came from. This means you have to go out of your way to re-search what you were looking at in the first place. Other than that, the app is pretty great..A stressed hs studentVersion: 7.5.13

Feature request & The new update is fasterThanks for making the searches faster. I have a feature request that I will happily pay for. Allow me to add my own words, complete with synonyms etc. allow me use existing definitions for those words if I can find a synonym in your database Allow me to create categories/tags within my favorites. - you guys can also create ready made default categories that I can add to my collection. Allow me choose what words will be my word for the day. Preferably from the catergories I mentioned . Some times you want to brush up on engineering vocabulary or writing or songwriting or medical or travel or political vocabulary. Your suggestions are just to arbitrary Allow me to add pictures that describe a word. To explain categories: So I can store the word malaria under say medical and disease Or the word church under buildings and religions Or the words shuffle under card games or movement so I can easily review the vocabulary I need depending on what I’m working on. Check out the app Kalimaty they’re doing exactly what I mean but I don’t want to migrate over to another app. Thanks! Please reply/acknowledge.Temi.kelaniVersion: 9.7.2

Compared to MW, this is more bang for the buckI originally used the free version of this and was frustrated with the pop ups and constant crashing (every couple search, it crashes and you have to reopen). So, I paid for Merriam-Webster and I will say I got frustrated with that because definitions are short, no second or third options for pronunciation, some words don’t show up (I guess that version is based on abridged? Many words I found on here, I couldn’t find on MW). So I re-downloaded this and for a few bucks more that MW, you get tons more feature. I find the Learners, Idioms, and Example Sentence really useful. If you use this everyday, just shell out the 6 bucks. It’s the price of a Frappuccino, for Christ’s sake..P124Version: 7.5.18

Where’s Dictionary?I have had this app for years and I love using it. I always read and enjoy all u have to share too. Today, I get on, look up a word, it takes me to an ad, I waited and nothing happened, then it pops up again and I don’t want what ever the ad is offering, I try and get out of it.. then a page pops up saying “ Google has removed this ad”. Must have been my Dictionary app because I can’t get it back on my screen. It could have been my fault but I lost my words I saved before… I hope this doesn’t happen again. I am thankful for the long time I’ve had your app. I’ll wait and hopefully it will come back up..OnwordsVersion: 11.3.0

The BestI like this app much. I like I can build my vocabulary, the word game is fun an is an extraordinary learning tool…It shows you the words you made withe the scrabbled letters they give you and of course they definitions too. I wish rhyming words would be free. The thesaurus and antonyms I like too; and I like there is grammar too. At this time it good to see differences between “pandemic” “epidemic” and “endemic” and this morning I encountered an article that read What one can use instead of “Sorry”. Some friends think I waste time on my devices but this Dictionary is “The Best” after awhile in it. I feel I am a little more smart than others. Keep up the good work!.Luv_doze_appsVersion: 11.4.0

It’s A Portable Dictionary! 📖So, I’ve been through all the iterations of this app since the very beginning… and, although I’ve enjoyed the latest updates—finally making a universal app (one app that works across iPad, iPhone, and Watch), adding home screen widgets, word games, etc.—there are a couple “discrepancies” that keep this app from being darn near perfect. My biggest complaint… landscape implementation on iPad has been removed. I use this app daily (on my iPad) while I’m solving crossword puzzles; the fact that I either have to use my Watch or reach for my iPhone (which could be charging) really takes me out of my element. The other option would be to constantly detach my iPad from my keyboard and rotate my device, or tilt my head to the side to use the app. NOT user-friendly at all. Also, on the Watch—in previous versions—when you tapped on the “Word of the Day”, the text was very legible. Now—even though the layout of the WOTD page matches other screens throughout the Watch app, the text is extremely tiny and illegible. Hopefully, these issues will be fixed soon..🐯 The White TigerVersion: 10.0.6

Lies, progressive liesHow dare you claim to be a dictionary when you are spinning progressive lies? Net Neutrality is a misnomer, created by the Doublespeak Party. Net Neutrality means the government regulates the Internet. Remember when we had 69 years of Telephone Equality, wherein every home had a phone and a phone line? Net Neutrality offers a return to those days, with zero progress, all in the name of equality. Notice who wants Net Neutrality: The gatekeepers, Google, Facebook, and Twitter, so they can control user content and maintain their power. Net Neutrality lasted for 2 years; for the decades prior to that, the Internet flourished. Net Neutrality is about Facebook, Google, and Twitter control and federal taxation, not about free markets and the development of satellite technology to replace fiber optics..SFVeelaVersion: 7.5.3

Why I love the Dictionary app:Think of all the hundreds of apps available to humankind. Ones that answer questions about gardening. Ones that give alternatives to meditating. Ones that give multiple recipes for the same meatloaf… Ones that answer any question under the stars. And I simply love the. DICTIONARY APP. I love it, perhaps, because I love words. I have always believed that words give us power. Power to uplift, power to crush, power to heal, power to express ourselves, in the written word, and in conversation. Power to encourage others. Power to console. Power to offer hope. And sometimes when I want to convey a special thought, or a wise piece of advice or a humorous story I search for just the right word that elicits the effect that I want and I find myself going to the dictionary app and using it again and again. What simple joy it gives me! What a sense of intelligence emerges as I widen my lexicon. As Jimmy Fallon writes silly thank you notes to ideas or pop culture, I, J.W. Thank you dictionary app!!! You rock! TRULY.Love, JanVersion: 11.6.0

Ads...really?I’ve used this app since before 2014. I’ve used it for school, writing, even work. Not once have I ever been bothered with a wait-to-skip ad interrupting my definition reading. Look, I get money is a thing, I run a business myself. I get it. But banner ads are enough in the case of what your app’s purpose is. Imagine you writing a song or paper and having to wait a collection of 15 seconds between your searches to get what you’re looking for. That is extremely frustrating and annoying. I’ve had so much loyalty to this app. I’d have more respect if you just asked us the user to donate because you need it for operating costs or something. You have a great platform, but not the platform for playable, wait-to-skip ads that interrupt the user experience..ThatNastyManVersion: 8.8.1

Is This a Legitimate Dictionary?My question, after reading some “articles” from this “dictionary”, is — is this a legitimate dictionary or yet another medium of the Left wing propaganda machine? Should we just label this as “The Progressives’ Dictionary”? I have not taken the time to look up definitions for “socialism”, “capitalism”, or “gender” yet, and I won’t bother, but I would be wary of many definitions that this dictionary offers that have political/social significance (for example, “assault rifle”). I love words, and I like all the extra information about each word that this dictionary offers, but the concern is, can this information be trusted? I would not use this as a primary source for my word definitions, but as curiosity. It is fun to compare real definitions of words with the Progressives’ definitions of the same words..KonokopiaVersion: 7.5.13

IPad User: Great App w/ Great FeaturesI’ve had a few months with this app and I can say I absolutely loved everything about it with the exception that it was not very well supported for iPad. Well, they must have herd me because that recently changed with the new updates. The horizontal mode makes it so much easier to look up words while I’m working without having to tilt my head or the screen. The new added widget feature also comes in handy whenever I need to make a quick search without having to open the App. Continuous updates like these really reassured my purchase decision..BF_HectorVersion: 11.0.0

Mr CThe thesaurus is as important to me as the dictionary, maybe more. It will receive in any week more hits from me than the dictionary. It is the best tool to build vocabulary. I like this app because it not only helps me increase my vocabulary, it helps me by being quick about it. I don’t want to take time to go to that page or check here - no - punch in a word and have the app give me options, it’s good to have options. The only thing better for your app would be the logarithm s that will keep track of word belonging to a topic i visit frequently. Thanks for your app! It is great!.89978766Version: 9.3.0

I love it and am grateful for it.The interface is enjoyable. I appreciate the simple themed blog posts about words. I like how you can favorite words and the easy switch to thesaurus mode. It would be cool to have fewer ads, or at least a different type of ad. Those upper corner countdown ads are irritating. As a songwriter I’m always playing with words, and not just rhyming, but syllable breakdown - lining them up with different melodic lines and rhythmic ideas. It would would be cool to markup the words within favorites - have metadata. Like be able to write “about” the words, sort and group them almost by project, and have them linked to audio and journals docs in like a google doc or another app. Thanks!.Matt SteinbergVersion: 7.5.3

SuggestionI have an issue with the scrolling method while reading a definition or a list of words in the Thesaurus. When you scroll down the page, the bar that has the “Definition”, “Thesaurus”, “Learners”, and “Origin” tabs wants to move up to cover things like the searched word, its pronunciation, etc. I like this feature because it tries to give you more space for reading. However, slightly swiping down brings the upper half of the page back down. I like the idea, but if scroll back and forth a little bit then the content on the screen to just move around instead of staying in place. I hope this makes sense what I’m trying to explain..Monteghetto20Version: 7.5.13

Who said dictionaries are boring??Such a great app this is!! Not only does it provide just definitions, but also tons of synonyms. Not to mention that for the extreme word nerds like me (💁‍♀️), there is are learners and origin sections to grow your knowledge of the word you just looked up! And not only that, but this app provides all sorts of interesting articles on language and word confusions. Not to mention that the developers recently added quote articles, which I absolutely LOVE!! The only two complaints I could possibly have are: 1. Sometimes random adds will pop up that don’t have an x. As a result I have to get out of the app and reload it. 2. One of the many awesome features of this app allows you to click words in a definition, and then it will go to that word’s definition. But, when pressing the back arrow to go back to the original word, the app goes back two or three definitions. But other than those two minor annoyances, this is such a great app and I’d recommend it to anyone!!.Nat The PotatoVersion: 7.5.18

Good tool and a suggestionI myself use this app in many different situations, and find it useful and informative . One item that i use nearly everyday is the word of the day. There was a word this last week that appeared and i shared it with my wife and kids. They questioned whether it was used that way. I looked it up and it was not found in either the dictionary or in the thesaurus. My first reaction was that maybe I had used a different App. However, i checked the list of words of the day and it was there. There may be reasons for this but I would suggest that any words of the day be included in the dictionary. The word I was looking up was “dumbledore.” Thanks for the great resource..JimestaVersion: 7.5.19

Font size sometimes too smallWish option to increase font size. When looking at previous word of the day words the definition for some is incredibly tiny... hard to see. Some are okay.

Excellent!!I love this app! Everyday it gives you this “word of the day” and it tells you it’s definition and examples. When you don’t know how to spell the word then you can say it on the microphone, but if you don’t know how to spell it nor pronounce it that you can type the word in the bar how you think it is spelled and then it will give a list of words to see which you you mean.

Dictionary.com: English Words Negative Reviews

Dictionary of Lies (pt. 2)In response to the developers, the definition of what a female is will never evolve or change. Female: “of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of [large] gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by [smaller] male gametes.” A male can never identify into being a female; a female is not a set of insignificant stereotypes. Do not aid in the erasure of the language of women. Without our language, there would no longer be any legal protection for women—adult human females—in law. What’s next? Can a canidae now identify into being a felidae or an ursidae due to its specific personality? Are we going to include humans in all of the different kingdoms, phylums, classes, orders, families, genuses, and species purely because biology and language have ‘evolved’ into losing all basic meaning? Can people now identify into a different age brackets simply because they feel like it? Will blue now become orange? Where and when is the line drawn? You’ve altered the definition of a female in order to placate the wishes of a group of delusional males that wish to be included in something they’re not. In the real world, the word female is never used to describe a male. Words have meaning for a reason..Tsams11Version: 11.6.0

Word of the day still doesn’t workIt would be nice if when I receive a notification about the Word of the Day that tapping on it would actually take me to the Word Of the Day. Sometimes it does work, but frequently it takes to me to a previous Word of the Day. When I tap on “View All” it shows me a card listing of all the “Words” of the Day EXCEPT the newest word - the Current word for which the notification was generated. It’s as if the notification for the current Word of the Day was generated in advance of when the word is actually added to the list. If this were only an occasional thing I wouldn’t complain, but it happens so frequently that it’s irritating. Here’s an idea: don’t generate the daily notification until the Word has already been added to the list of all the Words of the Day.???? Here’s another idea: when a customer taps on your notification, make sure you navigate them to THAT word REGARDLESS of what word they have currently displayed in the app and regardless of whether the word has yet been added to the Word of the Day card listing. I’m on the newest iOS version..SixspencersVersion: 8.1.1

Bye Bye AppBe forewarned - they sell your info and hide the fact that they do. This “option” is automatically turned on and buried at the bottom of the settings page. Probably by the time you find it it will be too late to turn it off and they’ve already sold your info. The other thing that is absolutely frustrating is they changed how they display a list of words as you start typing. I used to be able to type a few letters then a list of words would appear that you could easily scroll down to preview. Now it sort of lets you scroll but not really. You have to PULL and HOLD on the list to see a few words past the last visible word but if you let go it BOUNCES back to the top. You can’t see past the first few words. For what purpose does this now serve? Why make the rest of the list so inaccessible? This is in the paid app version - at least I hope it’s the paid version because I paid for it and tried clicking Restore Purchases just to make sure. I just made the switch to Merriam Webster and deleted this app..Lsajra99Version: 8.4.0

Gone completely dowhillI downloaded this app on the first iPod I ever received about 10 yeas ago because I was stuck in the countryside during the summers in an area that only carried one cellphone company’s tower (but not in the house I stayed in, spotty at best in the rest of town, and naturally not the one I had anyway). I got a lot of reading done...so many books. This app gave me the ability to look up words as I tried to expand my vocabulary and interests in other genres/forced summer reading for school. It was the offline feature that drew me to the application in the first place, the only limit of having no internet was the inability to here the audio pronunciation. It was perfect! How such a feature would be a paid service now, disadvantaging children and adults who may have limited access to internet services is disgusting. Would be enough for me to rate one star but then on top of that you’ve put so many intrusive ads as to make this app unusable even if you have internet unless you pay for the upgrade. Shameful.VerotheelfVersion: 7.5.11

Constantly crashing is the biggest flaw... among othersBoth this and the pro version constantly crash. Like others, I found the advertisements incredibly frustrating and vastly excessive, but as a writer, I decided to invest in the pro version. What I discovered was an app that should be better, but is plagued by numerous flaws. The crashing occurs often and is obviously frustrating. So much so, I started referring to my Alexa for word information instead. I have also experienced the app stating I need an internet connection when I’m clearly connected and with all other applications working on my device. The voice recognition for looking up words is also inferior, and results in so many inaccuracies, it cannot be trusted to be useful. I wanted this app to be great, especially after paying for the pro version and utilizing the website, but it’s just not at this chapter in its existence. I will be looking to see how similar app’s perform..British PaulVersion: 7.5.29

Used to be great, now it's terribleThis used to be my favourite tool as a writer. I had all the synonyms I could need right at my fingertips without having to jump down a Google hole to find something. I never even complained about the whole buying-the-offline-version thing. But recently this app has been a MAJOR mess. Thesaurus synonyms used to be alphabetised, now the words are all scrambled up and I have to go searching for a word that I can't think of. I have bad eyesight so this an awful struggle for me, to have to read through every single word instead of just skipping to where I know it will be. I have no idea who thought THAT was a great idea, but whomever it was should be dropped off the side of a tall building because this B.S. isn't even worth being free. Not to mention the billions of ads that pop up. I understand it's free but I'm not paying $3 for an ad-free experience I can just as easily get by using a web browser. TL;DR do NOT get this app - it's disorganised, messy, and annoying..SceneQueenKJVersion: 7.5.13

App, Root word, AdThis has been a fun app to explore. Lists of related words with stories of their origin etc. I PURCHASED an additional component, the rhyming dictionary in addition to the free app. This did not protect me from the obnoxious, random ad pages that cover the screen and can’t be closed for a very long time. The impossible to get rid of ads are also louder than the volume you have set. Once you can eventually close the page hog it will return. It already has been forced on you so long you can’t avoid seeing it is, so forcing the same ad over and over is infuriating. Not the feeling you want your app to create every time you use it. The value in the app was exploring other words. The in-depth info was well written and could keep a word lover happily occupied for a half hour. Someone worked hard on that content and it was always interesting and educational. But it’s too often and too persistently gone behind ad walls..YoulistenhereVersion: 10.0.6

Used to love itIt seems like every time I open the app the frequency of ads that completely hijack my cell phone increase to the point where I'm considering switching to another dictionary. Have some mercy and consideration for those who have supported your website for years and years and years. Surely you get more than enough revenue from the plethora of other ads that make the interface almost unbearable, no? It feels a lot like greed at this point and I'm honestly tired of it. Update: replying to each and every person who is giving fair feedback about the ads with a sales pitch shows you do not care about us. We understand that ads might be necessary, but DO THEY HAVE TO BE FULL SCREEN, VOLUME MAXIMUM, AGGRESSIVELY ANNOYING, RIDICULOUSLY ABRASIVE ADS OR IS YOUR ORGANIZATION JUST GREEDY. Think, think, think, think. Look at how many reviewers are saying the same thing. Fix it soon, because you've just lost yet another customer due to your lack of care..Cc ApolloVersion: 8.10.0

Why Ads if i paid for Upgrade???I downloaded this app about 6 years ago maybe. I instantly opted to upgrade because the ads were so intrusive it was almost impossible to use. At the time there was only one type of upgrade where you paid an upfront cost and it would permanently remove ads and allow you offline use. Everything was great. I use this app daily. And then today, out of nowhere, i get on the app and a get a huge DO YOU APPROVE OF TRUMP? ad. I was like ummmm.... what?? I absolutely paid to never see an ad on this app so i thought maybe it was a glitch. Until i restart the app to see that they’re offering me 10 separate upgrades. One to remove ads, one to use offline, one to create sentences, and a bunch of other unnecessary things. So do i get a refund for my upgrade since you removed it from me?? Please tell me this was a glitch. This was my favorite app :(.Meli026Version: 8.0.6

Doesn’t work anymoreI loved this app- I bought every update and played the word puzzle several times a day - in fact I use everything all day. I also bought every single upgrade. Yesterday, the word puzzle “slipped” to the bottom of the usual right hand list. I went to the App Store and did the upgrade. Now I can’t find all the additional stuff I bought and the word puzzle is very small and when I tap a letter it won’t show up - and there’s some nonsense about coins. I don’t want coins, I don’t know what to do with them and I don’t care, I want the letters I tap to actually work, I want all the additional pieces like examples, rhyme and everything else I’ve paid for to work- i want the word puzzle to be s size like it was where I can actually touch the letters. I’ve recommended this app to all my friends (and as a priest I have a very large contact base) Thank you. (The Rev’d) Kate Guistolise.Your KatVersion: 9.13.0

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Ads block you even after paying.Huge problems here and guess what? they don’t care. Here’s what to look for: - Even after paying for the highest upgrade, the app inundates you with obstructing ads that block you for 10 secs at a time that you cannot close. Moreover, you’re a full paying customer at this point and they still desperately force ads for revenue. - the ads’ “X” button to close the ad suddenly disappears after 0.5s before you can close it. They must think people are complete idiots. - you can’t look up words like “craving” — it only takes “crave” in the thesaurus. Basically, the app is pretty dumb too. I’ve had this app for almost a year now and finally switching since they have not responded to a single review, comment, or email touch my team and I has sent the past year. We were giving them a chance but now we plan to start hitting social hard with this review. The conclusion is that desperately monetized apps that disregard user-empathy at all costs end up losing fast. The ones that wait for thousands to complain about something (trying to get a quick buck in before the media rants) lose all respect. The ones that don’t listen stop being listened to by the public in return. Too bad, you had your chance..MaskedVillainVersion: 7.5.15

Woke App - Be careful, altered definitions and thesaurusWhen looking up a word that I’ve known for decades I discovered that someone has altered the true meaning of a word to fit an agenda. The meaning of a word includes thesaurus terms. However, the “woke-ism” of this app revealed itself. (Eg. The word Conspiracy) Dictionary’s Thesaurus lists treason, and sedition which has little to nothing to do with the word. In fact, conspiracy is likened to be fact until proven to be false. Webster’s dictionary words, require panel reviews to alter a word’s meaning. Webster’s synonyms for conspiracy are: “cabal, crew, gang, Mafia, mob, ring,syndicate.” Which is, and have been the true synonyms for the word. And... as it has been said. Everything woke turns to .... Also, Wikipedia is being altered by woke initiatives by unaccountable individuals without pedigree. With Wikipedia at least we can see “who” (usually an entity that fails to list first name, surname and credentials) altered the information when they altered it and what was added or changed. Not in Dictionary. This Dictionary app icon got moved next to my urban dictionary app button at the back of my references group. Another app moved to the front of my reference group of apps for dictionary..Mikie247-365Version: 9.10.3

Became progressively disappointingFirst of all, the ads are ridiculous. Watching a five second advertisement between searching a word and seeing the definition is supremely inefficient and frustrating. Second of all, since the Roe vs Wade overturn, every word of the day has been related somehow to the current event. I understand and even enjoy correlating the WOTD to certain holidays like Flag Day or St Patrick’s Day, but I downloaded this app to get interesting and new words I can learn each day, not listen to someone whine about their political agenda by defining words like “prerogative, choice, and draconian” for days on end. Regardless of political beliefs, this comes across as either annoying or campy, and, coupled with the frustrating need to monetize through ads, was the last straw that broke this camel’s back..EbaygrantVersion: 10.0.6

Need to fix the audio pronunciation - upsettingly tied to phone’s audio settingsHello, I have noticed the pronunciation feature no longer works. While scrolling through other users’ reviews in Apple’s App Store, I found a developer response to a particular review on March 26th, stating the app had updated to only provide an audio pronunciation when the audio or ringer is off. However, I do not believe that makes sense as the user self selects into tapping the pronunciation feature to hear the audio version whether or not the ringer is off or on, so the audio will not be intrusive as it is expected given the user’s immediate environment. Could you please look into allowing the audio pronunciation to work if tapped, regardless of volume settings. Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks..A_E_88Version: 7.5.18
