Giving a score that should be perfect but becomes 3 of of 5. Maybe the squares are too narrow? ### 3/5 — Great until… *2026-08-06, version 14* This app was great until a very inappropriate add showed up. So I deleted it. If you get this app, plan on some inappropriate adds at some point. Not recommended for kids. ### 2/5 — Pro version missing grammar quiz *2026-07-18, version 14* It’s been a no- show for about a month. I keep the app updated. ### 3/5 — Great but annoying ads *2026-06-19, version 14* Great dictionary! However, lengthy ads and their intrusive timing have become incredibly frustrating that I am forced to cut back on my usage. ### 3/5 — Excellent, and flawed *2026-04-29, version 14* Its functionality as a dictionary and thesaurus would be hard to surpass. However, they also allow scummy scamware ads that pretend to be system messages from my phone. Ultimately, I decided that I’m more discriminating than that. Why would I lend my phone to such a vendor? So I deleted this app. ### 5/5 — My Professional life depends upon the best *2026-04-23, version 14* The dictionary is excellent / helps you find the word you search and in the des tiptop. Gives you a little extra. I love it. Not everyone has it either. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-04-21, version 14* It’s so fine ya. ### 5/5 — Old friend *2026-04-15, version 14* This site has pulled me out of many grammatical holes! I treasure the fact that I can always rely on it to hand me a spade. ### 5/5 — Favorite dictionary app *2026-04-15, version 14* I've been using this particular dictionary app for a few years as of the time of this review. It's one of my favorite apps of its kind. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much!!! *2026-04-13, version 14* Great book for the World ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-04-06, version 14* I think this app is great! very straightforward, not hard to use and not very confusing. Its helped me wonders and it’s definitely worth trying if your the type of person who likes upping their vocabulary but also making sure what your saying doesn’t sound forced or wrong. I find this app a huge help especially when im writing or reading and need to figure out a word quickly without searching for too long or getting distracted, and i think others would very much enjoy this app as well!!! ### 5/5 — Best Dictionary App *2026-04-02, version 14* This app is fun to just search for new words for your vocabulary, to use for school because it’s super convenient, to use for work if your a writer and need to broaden your vocabulary, for children and teens on the go…right in the palm of your hand’s, on your laptop or iPad this dictionary app is easy to use and super convenient !!! ### 5/5 — Pro Purchase Not Restored *2026-03-24, version 14* I already paid for the Pro version as a one-time purchase. After updating to the new app, my Pro access is gone and I’m being asked to pay again. This is not acceptable. Please restore my purchase. ### 5/5 — Great site *2026-03-14, version 14* I always use this dictionary. It’s awesome! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-03-13* Très riche, j’apprécie beaucoup la diversité des sources. Merci ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage Bc Of Ads *2026-08-27, version 14* 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. ### 1/5 — Advert slalom *2026-07-16, version 14* Throws an ad in your face thats impossible to close. I would gladly pay to stop having ads thrown in my face. Infact, I thought I had ### 1/5 — SORRY *2026-06-08, version 14* Too much junk to try to sort through to find the dictionary. Never did find the dictionary. ### 1/5 — scam *2026-04-21, version 14* paid for ad-free version, but still get ads—why should i pay for the pro version when i’ll probably be scammed again ### 1/5 — Not practically usable in free version *2026-04-11, version 14* I’d recommend Linguee; no ads, everything is downloadable and the interface wasn’t designed by two kids from high school ### 1/5 — Waste of Money! *2026-03-05, version 14* I paid money but the adverts continued. I tried to contact the clowns but they were ignorant so eventually something better was purchased. ### 1/5 — Political *2026-02-13, version 14* I noticed that the examples of use are political ### 1/5 — Blocked *2026-02-10, version 14* I use this app very little and today got a response that I was blocked for a violation—I have not violated anything……I have left my feedback for them but have not received a response, glitch in their system? I see others having the same issue ### 1/5 — Sexualised Advert by Temu *2026-01-30, version 14* Love the app and have been using it for years. However, for a while now, there has been an advert by Temu at the bottom of the screen that is deliberately suggestive, which I find to be rather crude, inappropriate and very unnecessary! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-01-14, version 14* Shockingly basic and cumbersome to use. This version developed to Apple is a colossal disappointment. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best dictionary ever *2026-08-31, version 14* 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. ### 5/5 — for the people *2026-08-20, version 14* 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 ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-07-27* This app is awesome. I have been using the pro version since 2014, it is an invaluable tool for learning and educating myself. I have one request, please bring the search tab bqr to the bottom of the interface. For which it would be more convenient and quick to use. Thank you for your help and support. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-07-17, version 14* This is my first time of using the app and it’s perfect ### 5/5 — pretty good *2026-06-25, version 14* I like the layout is still like the website so its easy to use. How they have extra word problems and articles us also very good. Plus the ads they do have arent overly the top obnoxious. ### 5/5 — Games *2026-06-16, version 14* It’s everything I wanted it to be and it has cool games to learn from! And I’m 58 years old. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2026-06-06, version 14* Excellent application to look for the meanings of unknown words. I’ve using it for many years already and it’s been very helpful. 100% percent recommended! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-06-05, version 14* This is so good I just yay!!! ### 5/5 — Dictionary *2026-05-27, version 14* Tell me do you have this also in Afrikaans ### 5/5 — Gnxbertholl *2026-05-20, version 14* One of the most comprehensive dictionaries I’ve used. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
