### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-03-05*

I could not get past the install stage because I chose “Do Not Track”.  Big waste of time!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. You should still be able to use the app even if you choose "Ask app not to track," so please send some more details about this issue to support[at]tfd[dot]com so we can investigate further.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-01-15*

Just downloaded, no place to enter a abbreviation! Although an ad wants me to “open“ it…there is no other prompt/place to enter a abbreviation.
Frustrating!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. You should see a search bar with a magnifying glass at the top of any page in the app. (On the homepage, the search bar also says, "Type acronym here.") If you don't, please send a screenshot to support[at]tfd[dot]com so our development team can see exactly what you're seeing.

### 1/5 — Loved it but...

*2019-08-26*

Application crashes at launch on 2 iOS devices.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that. We have released an update that should fix this issue, so please update the app, and let us know if the issue persists.

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2023-09-04, version 3.5*

Didn’t have SRED or KMS. Can’t add your own acronyms.

### 2/5 — Not very flexible and Ad system is so annoying!

*2021-04-14*

You can look up any acronym or abbreviation you know or come across - but what if your need is to find out what, if any acronyms/abbreviations may pertain to a given word?
If I type in, “abbr”, the App quickly finds, “Abbreviation” as the answer, but if I type in, “Abbreviation”, it returns, “Word not found”  (but only after interrupting my train of thought with a full-screen Ad - c’mon, this could have been implemented much less obnoxiously)!
Really?  You couldn’t design the App to work both ways?  Am I the only person in the world that might want to know how to abbreviate a word, or to learn which words do not have a recognized abbreviation?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Yes, you're right, you can only search for meanings of abbreviations at this time. I will pass your feedback on to our development team.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that. Please try restarting your device, and, if that does not help, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. (Please note that you will lose any bookmarks saved to the app when you uninstall it.) You can also try updating your iOS to see if that helps. It looks like the latest version is iOS 17.2.
