LookUp Dictionary: Learn Daily Positive Reviews

Clever, unique, elegant vocab builderI love this app! I love words and dictionaries. I own lots of dictionary apps. I teach English to non-English speakers, ESL. Contrary to another reviewer or two, I find this to be a unique, browsable, and helpful vocabulary builder. It's NOT a simple dictionary, a reference, that's not the best purpose - it's something to sit and spend time with. I wouldn't recommend it solely to use as a dictionary for quick look ups. I don't need such interesting distraction, I would stay in the app, get lost in words, and not get back to my work. Also contrary to another reviewer, they are NOT words common to daily ordinary American English speakers. You may have at least heard many words, studied them for testing, and even gleaned the meanings from context. There will be words you've heard many times and may even use but you never looked them up yourself, those words you can use and describe with examples but cannot cite a definition. So it's very interesting. You get visual imagery, etymology, grammar and related words. And links to more comprehensive definitions, a wiki. The presentation of each word is colorful and appealing without cartoonish sensibilities. By simply visually browsing you can learn, hone, or refresh your vocabulary without the tedium of drilling, memorizing, or winding thru long repetitious dictionary definitions..CrasshipsterVersion: 4.0.4

Best in class!!Are use this app on my iPhone on my Apple Watch, and on my MacBook. After and recent minor issue where my collections were lost during an app update, I am now very confident that the developer has integrity and will seek quickly to correct any issues. This has given me confidence in continuing to use this excellent app. I love to use this app. Whenever I discover a word that I would like to add to one of my collections it is easy to get the definition and add it right away to either one or multiple collections. I love that on the MacBook version of the app I can export a PDF file of any one of my collections along with definitions. That allows me to export my own back up of my collections on a periodic basis and allows me to easily share my collection of words with someone else. My wife and I are able to each use the app because the app allows for family sharing. I greatly appreciate that and it adds more value to the subscription..Rodrigo4DVersion: 7.5.2

The best dictionary I’ve ever ownedThis is a wonderful app! Love the full support of the features of iOS; the widgets are great, they’ve built in Siri commands, and robust features for thesauruses, translation, and etymologies. I wish they had definition lookups for the words you get wrong in the quizzes they provide/curate (GRE Prep please!), and had an option to display one or two translations alongside/below the pronunciation guide! These couple of features would elevate the experience of the voracious consumers of information this app have been so satiated by so far!.SackyjVersion: 8.1.1

Weak AttemptLet me start by saying that I have no problem paying for a dictionary app; new words fascinate me and Lookup looked like a ‘fun’ dictionary. And the reality is that this application is actually very pretty- the night mode is stylish and word of the day drawings actually motivate me to open it frequently, which is something a dictionary app has never compeled me to do. But it’s greatly deterred by the fact that so many of the real, English words I’ve looked up are hit with a ‘no results’ find. In fact, it seemed that any word beyond a high school-level vocabulary could not be found. The reality is that a dictionary app is primarily used to define words we may find in our day-to-day lives and just aren’t familiar with, and there are plenty of free dictionary apps with things such as built-in thesauruses or far more information/uses behind the word that you are searching than this app can offer. The only true thing that Lookup has going for it are it’s looks, and that unfortunately doesn’t justify its price tag..Jeffgc7Version: 4.0.4

Would give it 5 Stars, if not for some key missing featuresSo I love this app and always find ways to increase my usage but I feel this app is missing a couple features that I think it should have one of those features is the ability to generate random words what I mean by that is there should be an option like Wikipedia's random article feature where we can jump from one word to another real fast which gives us a reason to open the app randomly and use it more. Also Japanese translations were supposed to be there but so far that is also missing. Fixing these features and adding a few interesting features will make me give this app a perfect rating and recommend it more. Edit - the developer has addressed the bug and I got access to lifetime with no issues, they were very helpful in addressing my concerns in a timely manner..Kirti VardhanVersion: 9.5.4

Word of the day complication not refreshingThis is an amazing app save for the fact that despite the app showing the current word of the day, the watch face complication will refuse to refresh unless I restart the whole watch. The word of the day also doesn’t change at the start of each day; it changes in the middle, at least for me. It would be amazing if there was an option for the word of the day to only change in the morning, so that there is actually a new word at the start of every day (even if it means I’m technically not caught up to what the current word is; like, my word of the day would lag behind the “real” one so that it switches in the morning of my time zone). I would gladly pay a subscription if that’s what it would take for these features to be implemented. Either way, thanks..Zguy20Version: 7.5.2

Is it worth it?This is a fun little app with good widgets that does what it says on the tin — a new word every day with an accompanying definition. I was fortunate enough to get it when you could buy a lifetime “pro” version for a one time, $10 purchase; I can’t honestly say that I would pay a monthly or annual subscription for it. Also, while most of the art for the daily words is inoffensive at worst, it occasionally features these creepy, large-eyed characters that look rather like what you would expect of a fake children’s book in a horror film. I always hide the widget when that art style features because I find it unnerving..RechiefVersion: 9.6

Great App with Room for ImprovementI love this app. One of the best dictionary apps I’ve come across. It’s beautiful, well-made, and easy to use. The only things I’d improve do not hinder the app, so I still think it deserves five stars. I’d like to see the following: - Images/graphics added for more words (right now there are only a few and they are removed over time). - Better word recognition with the camera. It’s not something I really use, but even if I wanted to it doesn’t really work. - More learning options. I could’ve sworn there used to be options to study and test. Currently I see an option to learn. Would be nice to have a flashcard option. - An option to rearrange the tab bar would be nice. - More suggestions in search; right now the same words cycle. Just a few ideas and suggestions, but overall this is a wonderful app..W00K33Version: 10.0.2

Continues to be a 5 star app.2nd Update: It works now. Restoring to 5 stars. Update: Developers replied asking me to update to version 9.6.1. I did. I didn’t work. I bet there are no issues collecting those subscription fees though. First review: Really?!? Paying for the app wasn’t enough? Now you want a monthly subscription too? Stop spamming the app with your subscription model. You have to be a lummox (I learned this word with your app) to pay a monthly fee for what is basically a fancy dictionary / thesaurus..The_TackleberryVersion: 9.6.1

Update to LookUp+ finally worked!Update: changing my rating to 5 stars now that the update has worked. Great app!! I have updated the app to version 9.5.1, but still can’t update to LookUp+ !!! Please fix this!!! Supposedly this update was to fix this exact issue yet I’m still not able to update… just get a spinning wheel indefinitely when I try to restore purchase. Will rate the app 5 stars when this issue gets resolved..JungleSportsVersion: 9.5.2

Very much enjoy!I very much like this app, makes learning words more enjoyable, and I enjoy the colorful illustrations. I wish there was a built-in thesaurus, though, so I can see antonyms in addition to synonyms, which also unfortunately are not included with all words. I contacted the developer to see if he has any plans to add a thesaurus, and he replied back within a day to say that he’s definitely looking into the possibility of adding antonyms to LookUp, although it’s not on the immediate roadmap..Mgmiller68Version: 4.0.4

Everything you want from a dictionaryI love this app and it always makes me happy when I open it up. It has all the meat and potatoes you want from a dictionary app: easy to use, complete and thorough, excellent origin details and Wikipedia info and a full thesaurus. It's also very easy on the eyes with a beautiful minimalistic design that is fun and clever without being garish. Every time I come here to look up a word, I end up perusing. Couldn't recommend more..TurkishovalVersion: 6.0.1

How to restore purchase to unlock 🔓If you have the lifetime access for people that has bought this app a long time ago, you can restore your purchase. In the app, just tap on Discover on the bottom left scroll down and then tap under Store purchase. Then you will have all the features unlocked like you had before. This app is really great 😎🙌🏻👍🏻🌸🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠.DudemanLAVersion: 10

Good all-purpose Dictionary AppIt’s pretty good, for the words it includes. Thanks for allowing me to restore purchase from previous iPad. Unfortunately, it will not allow me to sync favorite words from my other device. Not a huge word base, but I like the UI and the amount of information included..BAR112Version: 10.0.3

Awesome app that adds to your day.Fantastic App. Think I only had to pay once but I would pay a subscription to have the app further developed. I would like to see more Apple Watch notification features. For example: I would like to have the ability to adjust how many times I get notified a day and at what times. Learn through more repetition. I would also like to have quizzes as notifications with adjustable frequencies and times. Long term, could be fun to have Siri listen to user use the word in a sentence and verify. Longer term, teach grammar? (Maybe another app) :).Billy Billy mc bobVersion: 8.1.1

Amazing appThis is the only app I’ve run into that makes consulting a dictionary appealing. I love the word of the day widget. I bought for macOS and iOS. Yes, there are free online dictionaries, but they don’t look anywhere as good as this app or encourage you to actually learn new words in the way lookup does. 100% recommended..Choooo_Version: 7.0.4

Please add search functionality!It would be awesome if when you click on the search tab, it auto selects the search bar, instead of needing to click it as well. All other dictionaries I’ve tried have this feature. Super simple, but extremely helpful. Please 🙏🏼.Tony Two-ShoesVersion: 9

Great graphics, ok appThe pictures are great but the app always struggles to load and the words reset at odd times of the day. Honestly, it’s worth half of what they charge which isn’t a lot but it’s a glitchy app. It does let you save your favorites and you can look at past words (whenever it eventually loads). All in all, it’s a pretty fair app for people who love words, they just need to work out some kinks..KitNix6Version: 4.0.4

A joyous momentWhen you sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, and that moment is empty but not sad. You look around and want something interesting but not overwhelming to enter that space. The perfect space for “Lookup”! Try it. It surprised me. It is fun, valuable and a real contribution..JohnJay01Version: 9.1

Apple Watch Widget issueI love Lookup (+). Unfortunately, the Apple Watch widget stopped pronouncing a word when you click the pronounce button. This happened when the Lookup+ was I traduced. I hope this get fixed in there near future..MankarVersion: 9.6.3

LOVEI’m obsessed with this app. i love words and it is so cool. the only reasons i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because it can be a bit glitchy and slow. plus, i wish that when i hit my favorites the words would still pop up with the image, instead of just the word and definition. but i love this app..MegggcellentVersion: 4.0.4

Not able to restore!!Update: the update 9.5.2 fixed it for me , Thanks 🙏🏻 Original post: Not able to restore my purchase after the new update Please fix it and thank you.Mʀ.AMiNEVersion: 9.5.4

Look up is a daily dose of nerd funHey this won’t show what I’m writing I would fix your review box Look up is an adorable little app I love seeing how esoteric the word of the day can be it’s always about 50/50 that I will already know it but my vocabulary is fairly extensive..ThouroughlyModlenMillyVersion: 6.0.1

A step backYour update deleted my dozens of “liked” words which were important for my studies. Don’t you test before you push an update??.Cimarron501Version: 9.2.5

Great app but keep getting the same word in the daily alert.Great app but when I get the notification of the word of the day it has been “acrophobia” for the last 2 weeks. In app and in widgets the word changes but not in the notification..MdavesVersion: 10.0.2

Great app, needs to improveThe design is just awesome, I’ve found a lot of words with good definitions and also with good-looking illustrations. I only have one problem, when tapping the ‘pronunciation’ button, I don’t hear anything, even when the sound is on its max level..FrankJGCVersion: 4.0.4

Smile to LikeThis app is all about attention to detail and adding the latest iOS features. All bundled in a clean and well designed app, that’ll help you learn new words. The smile to like feature worked perfectly..NehaywardVersion: 5.0.2

Fantastic App!I love learning new words and word origins. This app has wonderful graphics, origins and pronunciation. It has landscape mode for ipad and looks great on the iphone because the words and graphics are in a big tile. If you love words get this app!.FreshbaoVersion: 5.2.3

What is the main purpose of this app?Great app BUT the main thing that I come on this app to do is SEARCH. Your landing page should probably include the search bar somehow. That extra tap to get to the search page irks me. Thanks..Affirmative !👍🏾👍🏾Version: 8.1.1

Total PackageIf you’re a fan of learning this application makes a small does the the dictionary interesting with a smooth background, picture, definition, and audio pronunciation sample..Infamous_99Version: 7.0.8

Just one problemGreat app, but when I click on words in my Liked Words or Collections lists, after I go back, the list keeps scrolling all the way back to the top, causing me to lose my original place. Please fix this, thanks!.ClaudxieVersion: 5.2.4

Widget is glitchedBought the app for the widget which worked fine for the first couple of days but now it does not update anymore.DannyleontieffVersion: 7

Excellent AppEasy to use and has a ton of features. I like how the watch app lets you dictate or scribble. My only suggestion would be an option to also display word origins on the watch app!.Kgarv3Version: 5.0.4

Writing down lists of words — no moreThis is the app to finally do away with dictionary lookups and then keeping a list elsewhere to remember and practice..VermontEscapeVersion: 7.0.4

Feature to organize collections !!It is really a good app however can we get some feature to organize the collections like sorting etc..Tejpratap27Version: 6.0.5

Positive attitudeI bought this app because the developer is positive about Apple on Twitter. He is not cynical. I have really enjoyed using the app. It is well designed and a delight to explore. Thank you for making it..JedinatorVersion: 6.0.1

Drag & Drop Feature Is a PainGreat app, but it’s just extremely hard to do Drag & Drop. Sometimes it’s not even working. The app would me nicer if it allowed me to just double tap a word for definition instead of the unnecessary pain of the pointless Drag & Drop function..MidnightRamenVersion: 5.1.1

Brilliant app. Great developerThis developer has improved his app since it was first launched. If you are a lover of words this app will be your new favorite.JoehvVersion: 6.1

Best Dictionary AppI love that they are always ready for the newest features of iOS when it comes out. Best dictionary app I’ve used..ME43665644Version: 9

American AccentsNeat app so far but it would perfect if we could have the option to change the pronunciation voice to an American accent. Certain words are a bit tough to fully take in because of the British accents. Thank you..Camperjohn64MCVersion: 10

Best dictionary so farIt’s the best app that I’ve seen to learn and save the new words you’ve learned and later use the pdf as well. Before I had to google every word and open in every new tab and then I used to compile it in word. But now this app is all I need😍.PajigarVersion: 10.0.3

Most compelling dictionaries very intuitive UIBy far, the best rendition of a visual dictionary designed specifically for electronic format (take that Britannica) with a compelling visual, rapid way of wanting to learn new words. ( take that Webster, Oxford, erc) Family integration is a great way to keep in sync with my kid and spouse. The additional extra language translation is an unexpected bonus. As are the external links. Decent subscription model. Excellent choice of widgets style. Works specifically well on my iPad , with a landscape tuned UI layout. I got the lifetime. I genuinely wish they will not lose their way. I'm rooting for them to not disappear as some big names did or made confusing and/or unreasonable priced decisions. Kudos !.OvideotronVersion: 10.0.2

Simply amazingThis app is definitely one of the best apps I have. It’s extremely useful to enhancing vocabulary, it’s beautiful and most importantly it has a great privacy policy. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s simply amazing..Bob_LelysVersion: 8.2

Beautiful but does not sync to WatchFirstly. this is a beautiful app and the use of images really enhances the user experience. Unfortunately, the collections and favourites do not sync between the iPhone and the Apple Watch which is disappointing.ExpoundVersion: 9.2.7

Yo mamaYo mama so clumsy she got hit by a parked car.ScotttianVersion: 10.0.4

AwesomeOne of the best dictionary / vocabulary learning apps I’ve ever tried. Absolutely love the graphics—so helpful for learning new words. But as some others have said, the dictionary quite often loads very slowly. Please do something about it? Thanks..자야밤둥이Version: 8.1.1

Collections are getting deleted after 24 HoursEverything is great with respect to the range of words that are available and UI are concerned. But there is a problem with the Collections. We i create a collection to save words they get deleted after 24 hours. Not sure whether it’s a bug or a feature. It will be very helpful is they don’t get removed..J013RVersion: 8.1.1

Looks good but dictionary search is really badNo doubt the dictionary looks good but search results are really slow and sometimes it would keep on loading even for very obvious words. Then I’ll end up opening other dictionaries..Tousif OsmanVersion: 6.0.5

Suggestions1. Add French translation please 2. Support play pronunciation on the widget. 3. No machine pronunciation, we need real humans voice! 5. Your widget has a big issue. It keeps refreshing every few minutes, which is really annoying seeing it says loading and I had to remove it! To me the widget is pretty much the only useful thing from this app. I hope you can fix it and make my money worth it!.CommunismisterrorismVersion: 6.0.1

Beautiful with cool features but the dictionary is lackingHands down the most beautiful dictionary app in the AppStore and I really like the idea of organizing words in to collections. Having said that, the actual dictionary is sub par. A relatively simple (to readers) and common word like “haughtily” doesn’t have an entry. I can only imagine what else is missing. Also, not really a complaint but their choice for word of the day seems relatively simple compared to other dictionary apps..SkeuomorpheusVersion: 5.1

Great appI read about this on today’s “Mac Stories”. Looks like a great app. They like it, and so do I..BrightonPeteVersion: 5.1

Best dictionary app!Without a doubt this is the best app for looking up the words. Great work! Also it takes a LOT of icloud storage, even bigger than the app itself..PythomiereVersion: 7.5.1

NICE!It would be best to add a quote a day and a word a day, seeing as where this could be going. Have them lined up side by side or something..IydcmccnncVersion: 3.1.1

UserLookUp is very useful and handy app to have on any iOS device. It helps to conserve time while reading a physical book or searching randomly for a word. Usually opening a browser / google/ yahoo search apps to find a meaning is expensive in terms of time and a person loses interest. LookUp is a good alternative to it. Its a convenient dictionary for any user who needs to have a utility app in least space on their phones/ iPad..Deeksha Sharma25Version: 1.0.1

Helpful appI found the app really helpful. The design simple and crisp. It's easy to navigate as well. Overall a nice app..Namrata KansalVersion: 1.0.1

LookUp Dictionary: Learn Daily Negative Reviews

Might as well charge to download the appThis app is horrible. You get the app, it gives you two words for two days. And then asks you to pay $30 a year to get more. The primary purpose of this app is to give you fun word of the days but then instantly locks it behind a pay wall. What is the point of that! There’s plenty of other features of the app that are locked behind a pay wall… why not keep it at that and let us have the BARE MINIMUM advertised in the app! Horrible decision in my opinion to advertise an app as free but to then make it absolutely useless unless you join their subscription model. Stay away from this junk of an app..NotJalpyVersion: 10.0.2

Love the app, BUT…I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro and I noticed my battery was draining rather quickly. So I went into the settings and saw that over the last 24 hours a whopping 27% of battery usage was from the LookUp app. Under where it says LookUp app it lists “audio” as the activity that is causing the battery drain. I really do love this app…I even have the widget on my home screen. I’m a bit of a vocabulary nerd so this app really filled that niche. But if this battery drain isn’t resolved, I don’t see how I can keep it on my phone. I will upgrade my rating if the battery issue is fixed..MSC531Version: 10.0.2

Subscription required for features I already paid forThis app was great for looking up words on the go, adding them to my word collections, and translating them to different languages. I also enjoyed the learn tab that helped me build my vocabulary through interactive quizzes. However, the recent update 9.5 ruined everything by requiring a subscription to access these features. This is unfair because I already paid for the app and I should be able to use all the features without paying more. I want my money back or my features restored..DrmoaliVersion: 9.5

No longer works.This app use to work great, everyday it would give me a new word of the day, but once I switched over to an iPhone 13 Pro the app no longer gives me a new word. It’s been stuck on the same home page with the same words for weeks. When I uninstall and reinstall it finally gives me a new word but now it’s stuck on that new word and it’s been a week with no change. I receive no new word and the home page doesn’t update with any new recommended words..TeneBrae18Version: 8.1.1

Missing a basic notification settingYou can't set a time for the daily word of the day notification. This is absolutely ridiculous. Look Up sends me the notification in the middle of the night, meaning it gets buried with all the other notifications that I get overnight. Allow me to choose a time and I'll reconsider this app. It might be a fun app to browse words in every once-in-a-while, but currently isn't very useful as a daily vocabulary builder..RcnimanVersion: 6.0.1

Pretty but slowIt’s got a good interface and looks, but content is shallow and brief. M-W or Webster dictionaries provide more info. Also definitions are pulled from internet and not stored locally, so in places with slow or no internet it does not work. It’s not for word study, it will only give you very brief definitions without examples or much of etymology. I recommend paid version of merrian webster if you really want a functional dictionary. I don’t know why apple is promoting this app. Like I said, it’s all about the looks, not brains..Nate&lucasVersion: 6.0.2

Cool idea, meh executionI love expanding my vocabulary and learning new things. The app (but not apt) description says that drawings and examples help you retain the words, except for how they don’t at all. Only about a third of the definitions show the words used in a sentence. In some cases, the artist seems to have chosen the least common meaning of a word to illustrate. The Wikipedia links are sometimes irrelevant, like the word ‘evanescence’ linking to a page about the musical group and not the word..EvanowskVersion: 4.0.3

Worldly chaosThe app displays one word on the corner Apple Watch complication but when you click the app displays a totally different one and there’s no way to see the one from the complication. While on iPhone widget there’s another word and if you click it’s a totally random 4th word inside the app. At least on iPhone you can check previous words. This bug is never fixed..ReaderKVersion: 8.1.1

I second the 'all looks, less content'Inefficient. That's it. I shut the app up coz I'm tired of waiting those few seconds for the app to even 'show up'. And the widget is terrible! Shows mostly just the word. But sometimes, just by chance, ends up showing the definition too. Clearly shows that the app was built in a very mediocre manner..DevmistryVersion: 4.0.2

Not impressed with the bait and switchI bought this app when it first came out. I was impressed. It’s very good. However now that I’ve purchased it they’re asking me to purchase it again through a subscription. Unimpressive business model. Frustrated. Won’t be subscribing..ZwerlieVersion: 9.6.3

Not like it says it isDownloaded for the word of the day widget feature advertised, which doesn’t work, the widget shows nothing And the word of the day stopped after 2 days even in the app and haven’t showed anything. Had a potential but didn’t turn out to be nice..Hayden4245Version: 10.0.4

GREEDY (deleting this app!!!)It’s fine to make this app a subscription based model but some basic features should be freemium like hearing the pronunciation of words..KvldeepVersion: 10.0.2

Offline useI would love it if you could implement offline use for all applications..Canada029977Version: 8

CanadaNice app but the etymology of Canada is not Portuguese as app says. OMG. It is from the Huron-Iroquois word kanata meaning village or settlement..Macman wpgVersion: 3.2

Terrible "iOS 10" DesignI reinstalled seeing the update but it didn't help, uninstalled again. Seems Watch and iMessage apps come first though. Terribly awful iOS 10 inspired design that doesn't work, slow, with no dark theme like prior. Big bold flashy is jarring to deal with. Keep it simple. Before it was subtle and nice.
