Porn links

The app used to be enjoyable. Now there’s a porn link footer one has to be subjected to. Seriously? Are the ads trying to attract children or adults?

The best dictionary ever

I feel like I’ve had this app since the beginning of smart phone time. It’s been thru several phone upgrades and not once has it ever asked me to create an account or give it my email or phone AND it has never once lost all my cherished word bookmarks all these years. Upgrading phones now is no daunting task with all the accounts and handshakes you have to re-do. Thank you Farlex for being the one app that just gets it and is reliable decade after decade. I will be buying the ad-free version soon just to say thank you.

Garbage Bc Of Ads

I’ve used this app for the past 10 years and it has always delivered me info quickly. Now, it’s just a garbage app taken over by advertisements where you have to search for a tiny X somewhere on the screen to get out of it.
I’ve had enough.

10 year user, GONE.

for the people

perhaps one of the few apps and services that were made for the people. it's free, fun (all the extra little facts and mini word puzzles), and to the point. seriously appreciate things like this in a world where every company is always trying to milk your time and money
