Love learning new words
Quite the opportunity....new words, old words, over my heads words....but it is a easy opportunity to keep building my vocabulary and learn something new quickly. I love to pass the unique words on to friends...usually my really young high school friends. I always get 😜 comments back.jbl&cj
Complain
Actually i ve being using it normal before. Buh after this recent update its not really nice again. Because you can’t use it offline now. You must connect to internet which is not fair to me.Zahru2007
Very out of date
I use a dictionary to find the meaning of words I’ve not seen or heard before. This edition of a dictionary has none of the more recent vocabulary, whether street lingo, social newbies, or technical terms. Also no commonly used foreign words sprinkled within our English. I’ve tried this app about a dozen times and rarely found it useful. I think it came with my iPhone, so it would be Apple that needs to upgrade this embarrassingly useless app.
Recently, I started allowing ‘word of the day’ notifications. Big mistake. Words chosen, said to be at random, are words an average, but well educated, person would seldom need. Today’s was a New Zealand lizard!
Really? Think I’ll need that one soon?
Yet, as said earlier, I read often. Words from France, Germany, etc come up Freqently.
Yet those words can’t be found without paying for your ‘Translate’ version.
One can find them via a Google or Yahoo search! And at no cost.
I’m finding your app less and less worthy. In fact I just took away one star from my earlier rating and plan to turn off your ‘Word of the Day.’
Overall, this app is not useful. I do plan to search for a better one.Show lessCarreellee
First ‘word of the day’ was a man’s last name
It was 3 stars and I have downgraded it to 1 and I am deleting this app off my iPad because your opened first page is positively hideous.
Really? Your very first Word of the Day is a man’s last name? Unimpressed - not much to define there.
And the first word of the day is unchanged.
Colouring - of an awful light blue shade of background and white is hideous and distracting and the page doesn’t fit the screen.
I’m hoping now that I purchased ad free and rated this - these obnoxious boxes will disappear because I can’t close them or ignore them because they are so large.
Guess what - They don’t disappear. They take up over half the screen. Every time I open this app this is what I look at. There is nothing about this that I would recommend to anyone.

Complete words,Learning system,Audio,Perfect!
So far one of the most complete dictionary I have tried. Of course there are dictionaries for specific areas such as medicine,technology,etc so this one works for my needs. The Word of the Day is great for learning; the audio is clear too as well as the suggestions for other apps to improve and help you translating sentences.Show lessMWiiiiii
Fun
There’s lots of fun on this app. I had no idea! I was just killing time and had never opened this app before and I got to play Hangman, and there are other cool things to do as well. Totally helps with those of us who aren’t great with vocabulary/English words. Love it!!NahbiSora
Not great; a printed dictionary has more life
This app isn’t great. Its ads impede most of the app’s functions, I think, and of course users can opt to purchase the full version to remove those pesky ads. However before I buy an app, I’d like to at least see how well it works, or in this case, how well it may serve my needs. And this just doesn’t measure up.
I’ve tried using this on multiple occasions but each time I search for a word’s definition or synonym, the app lags as both it & I wait for an annoying ad to load. Several times the app has kicked me out completely or frozen, which definitely defeats the app’s purpose. I’m not looking for an app that takes more time to search for a word/offer synonyms than it takes for me to do the legwork on my own. At this point, I’d rather search for the word myself and figure out the synonyms on my own, or by using another app. It’s far too frustrating and not at all worthwhile.
It’s a good idea, yes, but it so poorly executed that it’s just a waste of time.Show lessCarieFitzi
Celebrate the English language!
I love this app, especially since I see writing looked upon, more and more, as an odious task. Save the English language, dare I say celebrate it? Well SOMEONE should. It is how you express your inner most secrets and thoughts, expand and learn new words.
We need heaps and heaps of obscure words and a better history of the origin of the word would be delightful.Show lessLeeshann
Works as it says and very useful!
I have been using this Dictionary from time to time during my writing and it works pretty nice. I haven’t really dug in and looked at all the features, but for what it is “a dictionary and thesaurus” I am pleased.DCMENT
great app
this is my go-to app for both dictionary and thesaurus. even when I'm using my laptop, i keep my iPhone or iPad handy so I can quickly access this. when writing my books on grammar, it was never far from my reach.aentarra
