Limited
A YouTube report mentioned the practice of ‘fanticide’ in certain countries. I looked it up in this app and was informed it is not a word (?) I had to Google the word to find the definition. This app defeats the purpose. I am deleting this app.
Good app, annoying interface
I like the app for its definitions and thesaurus feature. The interface when trying to scroll through suggested words is very frustrating though. You type in a few letters and it starts a list of suggested words. If the list runs past the bottom of the screen and you try and scroll though, it automatically snaps to whatever word you touched to make it scroll. The timing needs to be adjusted to determine if I’m clicking on the word or trying to scroll on the screen. It doesn’t seem to matter where you touch on the screen, it interprets it as wanting to click through and not start scrolling.

Poor Decisions
I paid for the ad-free version when I first downloaded the app. That was a poor decision on my part because they made it an ad-only app, regardless of those who paid for a premium experience. This poor decision of disrespecting the customer is why I am taking my eyes elsewhere and deleting this app.

Dictionary
Not good, I have used this app before and now it is saying that the dictionary age limit is to old more. I have been told from my school to get this dictionary app so they obviously know that this app is safe for me and that I need it at school
Need ad-free version for a fee
I finally figured out that the reason the app hasn’t been working is that a new version was released rather than because I was lingering on older OS versions of devices. Would have been helpful to have notification in the old app to let me know to replace the app with the new version.
Now that I’ve downloaded the new version of the app, I can’t find a way to pay for an ad-free experience. I have tolerance for ads on a website, but not in a dictionary app for a mobile device. I want a clean reference app and I’m willing to pay for ad-free, but if you are no longer going to offer that, then I must regretfully look for an alternative. I really liked your product and hope you will reconsider offering an ad-free experience for a fee.

Age rating
Are you saying that you have to be 13 to look up words because that sucks
Okay but
Some words the app just cannot define. Simple stuff
Best to worst
This app used to have some amazing features but recently has been dumbed down. The favourited words feature has gone for some reason and you used to be able to click on any words and see the definition. Now only a small number of random words have this option. Really weird choice by the devs. Sure it serves the definition of a “dictionary” (ironic) but it used to be a lot more functional

Terrible, bad junkware
The app and the website are absolute junk, full of intrusive code and ads that hijack your screen. Annoying and disrupting the user benefits their advertisers, their true users. We are not the true users, just the suckers. Anyone working for a company like this, that offers important functionality but designed to drain your joy for money, needs to take a hard look at where their life ended up.

Be cautious
I needed to look up a few words I kept getting the “oops
some went wrong try again” message so I deleted the app.

Downgraded
Just today, I finally realized how was seeing ads on dictionary.com app. I’m looking for a premium version and I don’t find one. I know I paid for this at some point in order to get the full thesaurus and some other features downloaded. I didn’t notice when it changed, but today seeing all these ads brought it to my attention. Very disappointing, along with the loss of favorites. Might as well look for a better dictionary app at this point.

Paid for a better version long ago
Now it is filled with bloat and ads. Thanks so much for making something good that I was happy to pay for, into something ugly and worse.
Losing money
Just noticed the app is full of ads and lost a bunch of features that I paid to have.
So better check for other apps with better features.

Far too many English words not found.
It’s a digital app, it’s not like it’s limited by page count. Not worth having installed. Use Google.
A lamer version of itself
This was one of my top 5 favorite apps. It was worth every penny. Now it is free and pretty much that’s how much it’s worth. What happened to the science and medical definitions? And all the other features? Sucks when something gets taken over by a bigger company that doesn’t actually care about the thing it took over.

Please update the User Interface
I love this app, website, and social media pages. I, and am sure many, would be willing to pay for a subscription that allows users to like/save words and have no ads. The ads hinder the experience and there are words that are so helpful that I wish I could save them in the app! Great work to the team, I will continue to use and appreciate the hard work.
