  • Very useful

    Very useful and easy to use! I love how the basic swipe gestures work to intuitively move through the application like a knife through
    butter.

    I do have some helpful feedback and a user experience suggestion that I would love to see implemented.

    As of right now, after making a search you are presented with a list of synonyms. Currently pressing one of the synonyms takes you to a whole separate screen where you can look at a page that gives you definitions, other synonyms, etc.

    What I think would be cool is that rather then the selection of a synonym bringing you to a separate page, if you could have a small drop down definition that appears upon selection of a word. With this implementation, the user would be able to cycle through many different words & quickly & easily find just the right word.

    I know the chances of the app developers noticing this suggestion are slim to none but if they do, provided my horrible attempt to articulate my idea is understood, that it would create a much more fluid user experience.

    Thanks!

  • Just an opinion

    My mind is getting slower. I do a fair amount of writing, and will have to utilize a certain vocabulary word or phrase, but I cannot recall it.

    Do I keep this App handy, to help with my recall, or hint to a better turn of phrase.

    But that really is a commentary on being a Thesaurus in general, not the actual workings of the app itself. Though I have no complaints like so many others. Maybe that it could like out to a Dictionary, for ease of interface.

  • Dead Easy

    Every substitute word or phrase that you could possibly want. Dead easy to use. Unobtrusive adds. A great addition to my Home Page.

  • Easy to use.

    Love, love this app. The layout is simple and efficient without being too harsh or too much on your eyes, unless you’re one who uses only dark mode. It’s smooth, doesn’t lag at all. Compared to what some other reviewers complain about, there are rarely get any advertisements. When they appear, they’re ad banners which are usually hidden away at the top or end of the page. It’s easy to look up words which can liven up your paper compared to just using Google. I definitely recommend this app. There are so many features other than just being a thesaurus.

  • More than a thesaurus, but it lags

    As others have noted, this is more than a thesaurus. It provides slang terms, phrases, and near synonyms. I use it all the time. In the last couple of weeks, perhaps since the latest iOS update, the app has become very. very. very unresponsive. I toggle back and forth between Pages and the thesaurus on my iPad. Every time I bring up the thesaurus, there is a long lag before I can type in the search term. It is frustrating. Another glitch that I hope the developers will address is scrolling. When I scroll through results, if I don’t touch the screen exactly right, I select one of the terms the search returned. It would be nice if there was a panel fir scrolling that was separate from the list of results. Finally, a previous version could filter results by part of speech, which was very helpful. I don’t see that feature anymore. Despite these annoyances, the app is indispensable.

    Hello! Thank you very much for your valuable review! Our dev team are already working on the issue regarding scrolling. Could you please clarify when scrolling you accidentally switch to a term (that is, make a new request) or do you open the context menu of the term in the list? It's better email us via ios@powerthesaurus.org
  • This app

    Oh my dear goodness this app is a lifesaver! I’m a 6th grade writer who spends most of my spare time writing. Unfortunately, I’ve been facing some writers block in my stories, I didn’t know which way to turn. My sentences were good at first, but the words began to bore me towards the end. So I frantically began to search the internet for a reliable thesaurus app. Then I found Power Thesaurus! It helped me to up my game in word choice and make my writing more verbally attractive. If you’ve read this far, you may be wondering why I don’t just rate it a five? That would be because it glitches often and has many obnoxious adds. If it weren’t for that, this app would be outstanding.

  • An Absolute Great App

    This app is a wonderful way to search for new words and improve your writing. This has a large variety of words to choose from and has an easy and simple interface.

  • amaaazing app

    this app is by far my favourite for dictionary/reference/thesaurus combined. It’s really good for general inspiration, inspiration before various writing tasks, giving something a title, etc., especially if you would prefer to write something non-generic (which is generally the first things that come to mind).

    As a person with ADHD, it has helped me immensely in finding the word i’m looking for, when my brain is foggy and I can only think of something mildly-related—being able to express myself easier and complete essays/assignments easier is so liberating! So thank you :)

    My only suggestion at the moment for an update is to allow app-users to ‘favourite’ words within the app, like you can do on desktop.
