Not worth the money

When I opened up the app, my heart sank, I got the blues, I knew I had bought a pig in a poke, a cat in a sack etc etc. Because there in front of my eyes, was the entire list of idioms (numbering about 800), that are defined and explained in this app, which might sound a goodly number, but in fact is, a minuscule portion of all the idioms and expressions in use in the English language today. So, do yourself a favour, and step around this one; there are many more fish in the sea!

Not alphabetized

Just bought this app. While it has the first word alphabetized, the words within each letter are not. You have to look though all of them for your word. Very unprofessional.
