Not fully functional
The app is good but it’s not great. Using the thesaurus, it seems like there are certain words that are banned from viewing results.
Im not sure if the app developers are homophobic, but they try to whitewash certain search results in thesaurus, as if to try to cover up their meanings.
I cannot view thesaurus results for the word ‘Queer’ and it’s very disheartening to notice consistent erasure in my community.

We payed for this
You guys are being ignorant about the customers’ complaints. Pls read and know what the problem is about this app. It used to be a perfect dictionary app but now it does not even work properly. I would appreciate if you could fix this problem.
Online dictionary is broken
The online dictionary returns "no definition found" for EVERY word. The links or database entries have been changed so the *entire app* is broken. The only fix is to download & use the OFFLINE dictionary. Ironically, my old review found the exact opposite problem (below).
Old review :
“ Offline dictionary is broken"
The offline dictionary is severely out-of-date, gives very incomplete definitions, & using it causes the app to not give definitions at all & then crash. Needs some work. ~ "Noticeably improved in version 7.x" : This app has improved markedly since I wrote my previous review (left below for posterity). Most of my qualms with the application have since been addressed, leaving me with very little to be non content with. My sole issue would only be the "tiles" UI display for the word of the day. A list, or option setting for a list, display would be far more straight-forward to navigate. They added a history, which is extremely useful, & the commonly requested back button to reverse through the user's recent series of definition lookups. Kudos to the dev team for adding the most complained about features. Honestly, this had become again quite a good dictionary, & I can again recommend it without needing to list stipulations. ~~~ "A mess" : I'm not really sure

Unable to search any word
This dictionary has become unusable now. Cannot search for any word. Someone please have a look.
Can no longer search words…
This version of the app no longer functions in searching any words
Definitions not working!
I've been using this app for a few years and have never had any problems with it until a few days ago. Normally when you start to type a word in to the search box it has suggestions. That doesn't work anymore. When I type in a word the definition page is blank. There are no definitions to the words I type in. This doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure what's going on, but I use this app daily. I use it to homeschool as well. Can someone help or possibly fix the problem?
Thank you for taking the time to read this review.

Dictionary
What a great app. Very help. Just one request; can you guys add a word counter. I like to know the words I have memorized.
However, I tried using it now to look up a word and it is not giving me any feed back
I keep getting the message “no results found”
I have the paid version

But, when in Word of the Day mode, and you click on the white space in front of it, it goes to hanging mode. Please fix and I will give it five stars.
p.s. I do this on my iPhone 8, could this be the culprit?

Very useful. Love this app.
Notifications not working?
I don’t receive any notifications despite the fact they are turned on both in-app and via iOS settings. The option to send in-app feedback relating to said issue is also non-functional.
