One Thing Missing
Perfect dictionary app, except that I would like to see the origins of words, like on the iPhone app - specifically, I enjoy reading the origins of every Word of the Day :)jamesmichaelpratt
Would be 5 stars if notable flaws were fixed
For a paid app, it is a disappointing experience. You cannot launch the app from its own notifications or the widget. When I get a daily word notification and press on it, the app tries to launch but crashes. Every time. The same happens if I tap on “Learn more” in the daily word widget. I have been using iPad Pro 2018 with the latest software. The app also suffers from formatting issues. You can’t see the widget very well if you turn on dark mode. Otherwise, once you do launch the dictionary it’s a nice app.Show lessEmilsome
Will not go to landscape view on iPad
I like this app but we use it for our Scrabble dictionary , however we find it very frustrating that my keyboard on my iPad Pro goes one way and the dictionary goes the other. We are not able to change this dictionary to landscape view to coincide with our typing. Eventually we take the iPad out of its secure home so we can see our search words without standing on our heads. Yech!Show lessSt. Louis Emelda
Great
I love this App. While I am familiar with most definitions due to my years of very wide reading I sometimes do not know the pronunciation. This Dictionary solves that beautifully with its pronunciation feature. Great for words I don’t know and even better for pronunciation of words that aren’t used that often.Show lessLN Bayne

This is a classic "reader" problem that we can well appreciate- knowing what a word means, but not knowing the pronunciation. As readers ourselves, we are pleased to hear our app has been so useful in sorting out this predicament. Happy reading and thanks for using our app!Screen size
Needs to be updated to fit iPad Pro screen size.Mascok22
Falling short...
I would like to give this app a good review. I have it installed on my iPad mini & I use it a lot. I have the ad-free paid for version & have also acquired most, if not all, of the in-app purchases. However, I just got an iPod touch (64GB 5G) for greater portability & it is not available from my iCloud repository for installation onto my new device. It does appear to be to be available in the app-store but it looks like I would have to pay for everything a second time. Or download the free version & put up with the damned ads. NOT HAPPY!
I would recommend that anyone considering this app take a look at WordWeb which is based on Princeton university's WordNet project. It is genuinely free & the app is maintained & kept up to date.Show lessfoxtrot.mike

Thanks for taking the time to share these thoughts. We currently don't support saved history or favorited words across devices or apps, as we do not have user accounts. That said, we will be sure to take this as feedback and share with our app team for them to consider in future updates. Thanks again, for sharing.A very useful app.
Update: The word pronunciation is again working, and I have uprated to 5 stars.
Note: I tried to submit this via your website and "contact us", but it is timing out.
I have found this app useful for quite some time now, thank you.
Just today I have noticed there is no sound when I press the speaker icon for a pronunciation.
This is an up to date version of the dictionary on iOS 13, running on the smaller version of an iPad Pro.
The audio is turned up, and verified to be working.
I do see the speaker icon flash momentarily, but there is no audio.Show lessOraDBA
Missing the sounds. Just need restart the iPad
I like to hear the pronunciation for every word. But I couldn’t get any sounds when I click horn sign on the screen. My I-pad is iPad 13.2.3. Please help me to figure it out. I will change the stars after I got the answer. Thank you
Just figured it out...
Very good app123456sam,,,,
Content is good, but UI is confusing
Really, UI is not logical. I much prefer the UI of the iPhone version.
Since iPhone and iPad apps are separate purchases, there is no excuse for non-sensical interface and layout. iPhone app is much more user friendly.
Please fix.mshasegawa
Where are the upgrades after iOS 13?
I purchased all the upgrades, but after iOS 13 was installed, I can't find any of them on this app. No science or medical dictionary, no idioms & grammar, no encyclopedia..... I'm very angry because I can't use them when I do need them!mayuko1209
