One of my favourite apps
I love this. It’s on the home screen of my phone with a select few others. I much prefer using this to searching for a word online. I love how I can save words that I’ve searched for. It’s a very well made app. Keep up the great work.Death by snoo-snoo
Used to be good (updated)
Had this app (paid version) for a number of years and it used to be pretty good, just recently stopped working so useless now. Doesn’t even recognise basic words like ‘car’ now. I’ve emailed support but as others have said, No response.
Update: it has now started working again so is my go to dictionary app again.Show lessJohn J Robinson
Solution found!!
It’s 8/8/24 and I’ve seen a lot of other reviewers seeing the “no result found” you’re not alone! I’ve been using this app for years and even paid for the upgraded version so I understand the frustration.
The solution is to purchase the app, go to settings, turn on “download the offline dictionary ” which is 800mb, and turn on “always use offline dictionary” and the “no results found” should stop!
I know people don’t want to spend the money on the upgrades but as someone who writes it’s a need and worth it, still giving this 3 stars because it seems like such a sleazy way to force people to buy an app, and even more upsetting that you have to do these extra steps! It’s clear the developers are sketchy or even con artist because there are many reviews all saying the same thing and they aren’t listening. I hope I was able to help!Show lessI'm cooler than every one
Developer Response
Most of the app features *do* require a network connection to function. The Offline Dictionary upgrade gives you access to our offline dictionary and thesaurus file; when downloaded, this allows you to still conduct word look ups in our dictionary or thesaurus while you are offline. But the other features in the app won't be available while offline; they continue to need a network connection to work.
