  • Ads | \ 'adz: An excuse to delete an app.

    Irritating. I paid for this app years ago. Then they started serving ads, so I deleted the app. I decided to try it again, but the ads are still ridiculous. I have to pay $9.99 for another version that doesn’t have ads. It’s a bit steep compared to other apps. I don’t fault a developer for needing to have more income than my one purchase years ago. I do fault a developer who chooses ads that are intrusive, cover over the word I am trying to look up, and never go away. I routinely have to force quit this app to get around these annoying ads. They load the App Store (something Apple shouldn’t allow) and never finish displaying. If I can’t use the app because of the ads, what’s the point of having the app? Here’s my big issue. Because the ad presentation is so odious, and because I already paid for this app years ago, I have no faith that shelling out 10 bucks for the ad free version won’t put me in the same situation a year or two down the road. I wouldn’t mind the ads if they weren’t so intrusive. Now I’m just deleting your app again and denying you ad revenue. Well done.

    Love love love this app, misspelling and grown people not knowing how to use verbally or written English drives me crazy. Therefore I drive people crazy. I’m Native America, knowing about our history and how our Native language was stolen makes me even more determined to speak and write English correctly. I will never understand the white man trying to assimilate us into their culture, making us learn their language yet they couldn’t even teach us how to speak and write it properly. I get so tired of hearing people make fun of us and how we talk. I’ve often wondered if we had to learn English because the invaders wasn’t smart enough to learn our language. Thank you so much for this wonderful app. I just wished more people used it. It is awesome!!!
    I live in NC, so I talk with that old southern draw, but for some reason we Lumbee still have a way of speaking the southern dialect a little different than other southerners even here.
    I don’t care where I go people want to hear me talk, or we can be in a different part of NC, well for that matter anywhere in the USA away (Robeson County NC), someone will hear us or we’ll here them and it’s on…!! @“Hey cuz you from RobesonCounty?” “Where you from and whose yer people?”
    Anyhow I love home and my “people.” I hope it never changes, every country, state and city needs to learn and keep alive the things that keeps them interesting, different and unique. 🪶🦅

  • A wonderful tool for creating ideas!

    I love to write. I am in the middle of my first manuscript, and I regularly write prose poetry. I have been able to find unique and unusual words to use so my thoughts are expressed in a different manner in each of my works. Meridian-Webster is easy to use, offers a wide variety of synonyms and antonyms, and the definition is easily understood when trying to find a word that fits the context in which I am trying to convey. I have played around with other sources just to see if there is any other words that are available that M-W might not have listed. It has been my experience that the words offered in M-W are complete and that the offerings are quite a bit more significant in number and complexity compared to the ones I dabbled in. I come back time and time again to assist me in keeping my words fresh and engaging in my writing style. I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different and mundane. I subscribe for the year at an unbelievable low cost and get way more than what one would expect for such a small cost!
