  • One Problem

    You cannot search for ANYTHING that has more than one word. Why? If you try using one word without hitting search, you’ll often see defintions for phrases with more than one words. So why tease this if you cannot search it? This is literally the only limiting factor, get rid of this and you have a great successor to the original app (RIP).

    4/5 until this is fixed.

    Hey there! Thanks for this feedback, I'm not sure how this bug slipped through the cracks. I have an update coming next week that fixes this, and adds a couple small features too. Fingers crossed this solves the search issue. Thanks again :)
  • Looks Modern, Lacks Basics

    I love the look and feel of this app. It makes Urban Dictionary feel native on iOS while staying true to the UD design. However, there are a few major flaws to this app. Firstly, inserting a space breaks the search, so you cannot search for multiple words. Second, there is no way to see a scrolling list of definitions for the same word like on UD, so you must click each definition individually and swipe back constantly. Third, there is no way to vote (👍/👎) on words, which means I cannot participate in improving the site. If these three things were fixed, this would be the best UD client for iOS. However, I’ll have to go back to the default UD app for now, since these features are critical to me.

  • Great interface but the search is broken

    Probably the only app to access UD that looks modern. However when your search contains multiple words, it doesn't work.
