Paid upgrades needing to be re uploaded.

Ok two years in and I,m still having to download my paid upgrades intermittently. It’s much more annoying now. Can this be rectified?
I now know that some of the upgrades are not sourced from the same area, I have purchased them all, so if I clear memory or website data they are deleted also, and have to be reloaded, science and medical, it’s not the end of the world but a bit annoying.

App Abandoned. No longer any good

This was a favorite app for a long time but it barely functions any longer. It used to be that once you started typing a few letters, suggestions would appear or if you misspelled a word, suggestions would be presented. Now you just get an error. Stay away unless they fix this.

Upgrades do not work

I purchased the power pack but I can not get access to these features. I submitted requests through the app and have not seen a response. I would like to use this app. It claims to have everything I need but the upgrades feel like a bait and switch. It has been very lame.

Broken app

Broken app. I have been using this app for years with no problem at all, but after the recent IOS update, none of the in app puchases work and can only use the standard dictionary. This app desperately needs an update - reinstalling app doesn't resolve issue

Broken app

Been using this app for years and used to be great. After updating to latest ios 17.7, it has completely broken the app and none of the upgrades i paid for, no longer work. As this app hasn't been updated for 4 years, i can't see the issue being fixed either.
