Poor design

The functionality of the app is not as expected as expected , the idioms search doesn’t work at all and issue with phrasal verb. As well , by the way the app is not refundable , be careful before purchase .

No Thesaurus

I just purchased this app and it doesn’t have a Thesaurus. It is list as dictionary and thesaurus. Very frustrating because I’m going to have to purchase another app to get the thesaurus.

Simple

Simple and straightforward. Dear developer, can you make a dark themed option? That would be great and helpful.

Almost , not quite.

Would be great if this could be used in landscape mode on the ipad.

Spectacular

I’ve been using this app for years and it has never failed me, as my English is not great so I deeply depend on it to help me with my spelling and meanings of words.
Thanks for creating this app. I would definitely recommend it.

Sometimes useful Sometimes useless

I look up a word I already know the definition of but want to check my spelling and also different uses.

The result was that the word was described as an adjective. No definition no origin nothing. Terrible.

Smarty in training

I like that I can save words to look at periodically. It’s a great tool for increasing your vocabulary. It works fast too.

Many words

A fine addition to any phone.

Essential companion

Easy to use, handy, never fails, and the etymological aspect is excellent.

Words words words

Use the app most days. As a person who loves words but cannot spell this is a champion.

Love it. On my home screen. No BS dictionary.

My only complaint is you can't export your bookmarked words or sync them across devices.

Very handy

Like it a lot

My favourite dictionary app

Gives me all the information I need, and even allows me to hear how a word is correctly pronounced. Less cluttered and more user friendly than other dictionary apps.

Always quick and easy

Great app

Great

Hands down the most neatly designed and elegant dictionary app available.

Only improvements I'd wish to see would be the search button relocated to the bottom of the screen where it can easily be accessed with either left or right hand, with 'add' and 'bookmarks' moved to its right, (current 'info' tab is a complete waste of space where it is now); and that the word search functionality could be built into spotlight search directly if iOS permits it.

Invaluable App

This app is an asset for prompt and good reference when reading and editing any material. It good investment to pay for and one does not have to connect to the internet because the app is installed on your device.

Works offline replaced my other ones

Good app gives good explanations, good enough you don't need to Google and it works without internet. Sleek appearance too, icon better than default Apple ones.

Great dictionary, use it every day.

Mr Pete Muskens

App is surprisingly good for following up on origins of words. There's some really obscure words that have come up in scrabble that this dictionary can always define.

Great resource; needs one minor fix

I use this app a lot, and enjoy its speed, word filtering as I type in new words, and breadth of words covered. When I reopen the app it defaults to my last word searched, which is a good reminder/reinforcement tool. But here's my suggested fix: From that point, I should be able to press the search button and my old word goes away. The way it is now I press the search button AND THEN have to delete the last search word from the search box. Two clicks, one completely unnecessary. Can't figure why the developer doesn't just clear out the box for me and give me a fresh start - what possible (frequent) reason would I want that last word filled in that box?!
