I am offended
While the lists of words are nice, or I thought they were, there is definitely some trouble with the definitions. Defining a word with that word makes no sense.
However, that is not my most egregious complaint. As I was scrolling through the word lists that I thought were the ‘nice’ part of the app I was reading antonyms for rigorous and found away with the fairies, atypical and bedridden. Are you suggesting that people who are atypical, mentally ill (that is an ableist term but I understand that it is a thesaurus) or in bed for a time cannot be rigorous? If that is something people are suggesting, and in our ableist society I understand where they got the idea, but they are in fact, wrong. Disabled people, not all, but many, have the capacity to be rigorous. Should they care to be.
You might think it is just how people define words. But it is your app. Of course you don’t seem to mind about the definitions. Why would you mind about a bit of ableism?Show lessWriteslikeagirl

Better than “just the dictionary”
I have two dictionary apps both of which use dictionaries that are highly regarded. I also have an etymology app, and both the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, so it’s safe to say that I am really into effective verbal communication. I say this not to brag — I still have a lot to learn — but because I know that many people are not so entranced by words. If you are not, a simple internet search for synonyms will probably satisfy you.
If, however, you share my passion, this app could become an indispensable tool. It has for me because synonyms are not necessarily interchangeable words, so just having a list of words is inadequate; one needs to be able to define the nuances of each word, and this app makes that information quite readily available. The design is clean and simple, and the information is accurate and comprehensive.
Kudos to the designers of the app and to the writers of the dictionaries it uses!Show lessJeffFreemanPresents

Thank you very much for your 5-star review of Power Thesaurus! We are very pleased to have an opportunity to assist you with your synonym hunt! If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know at apple@powerthesaurus.org --AnnAbsolutely indispensable
I've always had a relatively large vocabulary, but this resource is SO helpful at finding alternate and more impactful words, that I find myself using it a LOT and it's helped to recover a lot of the vocabulary that just starts slipping through the cracks when speaking in today's barely literate world. I love it!
The only gripe I have about it is that it's just an interface to the website. I'd happily pay a few bucks to have a local database that syncs to the website periodically. Then this would be a 5 star app. It is a drag to have to copy and paste into a separate app rather than just get a list of the alternates within your current app, but there's nothing they can do about that unless Apple implements something like macOS Services in iOS.
They even put a lot of thought into the rating request dialog. It is a polite button, not a pop-up, and it very respectfully asks if you'd like to rate now or later without interrupting what you're doing. This is a smart developer, because nothing makes the number of stars I'm apt to give drop faster than an annoying pop-up that wants me to rate the app before I've even had a chance to use it!

Thank you very much for your valuable detailed review. If you have any other feedback or suggestion, you could write to us at apple@powerthesaurus.org. We would love to hear from you! :) --AnnINVALUABLE!
And it gets better and better all the time! It used to heel and sometimes fetch. Then it started shaking hands and rolling over. Now, with the latest update, it’s barrel-riding, doing double-axels on ice and loop-the-loop tricks in the Sopwith Camel! Above and beyond the call of duty. Whoever writes this app must have more fun than a sack full of Byzantine nematodes under a full moon in the 7th house! (And if I really wanted to, I could probably use Power Thesaurus to find out the actual meaning of my previous sentence, but I don’t really need to — I just like how the app inspires me to use big friendly words!) (Big friendly words that do tricks on command...and also *not*. 😁) Cheers!🐶🦊🐕🐩🦮🐕🦺Show lessGizmology
