Okay

It’s like every thing concerning technology play with it and see what happens.

Repetitive games, several flaws, no app support

Update. Had to downgrade my review to 1 star. The word games are VERY repetitive. I’ve played more since my first review an it’s the same questions and answers over and over. Not only that, once you choose timed mode or not timed mode, there’s no way to change it. So choose carefully. Also, one of the games starts by saying you have 15 seconds to answer each question, but the timer only gives you 10 seconds. The true and false game, at the end of each round it keeps saying I need 1500 more points to unlock the next level. After achieving 1500 points for the third time, and it still didn’t unlock the next level, I said forget it. I reached out to their app support to let them know about these issues. The automated message I got back said they don’t respond to messages, and gave several links to irrelevant support articles. What a mess. Hopefully they put more effort and attention into the dictionary.

[First review] Of course the dictionary is great. The games were fun at first, but after playing for a couple of days, I’ve noticed they’re a bit repetitive. The same quiz questions are asked repeatedly. I purchased an annual subscription, so hopefully they plan on adding more variety.

Why?

Even though a dictionary app is all but superfluous in this day and age, I’m old school and still like a classic dic / thus. Even if it costs $10 bucks a year…. That said, after logging in and restoring purchases the app crashes upon opening now, and as such, isn’t just superfluous but entirely useless. I didn’t mind paying the yearly fee (even though the same service can be found completely free of charge all over the internet) for the convenience of having access to a local dictionary, but it’s infuriating that the rare instance I go to use the app it fails.

I enjoyed using the Merriam Webster app on my iPhone.

App is always freezing

Hello!
I love this app so much, and I use it everyday. Like I use this app religiously. But I am so frustrated and disappointed that I just want to cry because it always freezes and lags. This actually happened on my iPad when I logged in my account there and it woouldn’t work but I just didn’t make a big deal out of it so, I didn’t do anything. And now, I never thought I would be experiencing this problem on my phone becsuse when that was happening on the iPad, the app on my phone was working just fine. I think it got updated like last month, and then that started happening but after a while it was working perfectly. I also emailed and try contacting for help. And then now, I got logged out so I logged in again and it’s not budging! It’s freezes, it lags, IT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING! And I know it is not my phone that is the problem. All I’m asking is please please fix this. This app is my everything, I visit and spend time with this app. And I don’t want to stop that especially that I have a lot of saved words over there. So, please I’m begging you fix this.

Best Bang for No Bucks

I don’t pay for this app, and I hope I never have to!

Best word a day

Best word a day app, purchase is only necessary if you want to go without ads but it’s still cheap.
Widgets still work without purchase.

Great



Easy and Useful

Amazing little app, constantly using thesaurus as I write and it never disappoints.
