Reviews of WordBook (Universal)

  • Some Words Not Listed

    Used the free version for a couple years, then found that some common words are not listed, so purchased the ‘newer’ version and Dang! There are still missing words. Look up the word ‘TART’. I should have listed the others but this is the last word and the last time.
    Paying for something that is no better than the previous free version.
  • Sorry I bought this

    Just be a dictionary!!
    When I search for a word it always comes in third position in the list even when I intentionally write the whole word, why?
    I don’t want to systematically see whatever previous search!! Why can’t I change that behavior?!
    Etc.
  • Simply Fantastic

    As far as minimalist dictionaries go, this is by far the best. I especially like the customized URLs option, so you can add a dictionary website of your choosing.
