User reviews

Deleting ad bombed app

Used this app daily during the school year. No ads, easy to use, simple definitions most should be able to understand… Now the money many users have paid so as to not be annoyed by ads has just been sucked up by this company with no recourse for its users except for choosing another dictionary. Merriam Webster / Oxford / Word Hippo. There are others frustrated users can go to. Goodbye dictionary.com. I’ll return if things get fixed.

What happened

My first paid for this app it did. It was removing all of the ads, and I had a wide variety of things. Now there’s a whole bunch of apps and I have no idea where all the other things app

PLEASE READ DEVELOPERS!!!

Hi!! I LOVE this app and enjoy reading and learning new words! There is just one small thing I wish we could do! I know I love reading words and then forget them and wish I could have somewhere to look back for them! So what if you added a bookmark tab for words?! Then you can save all your favourite words! I’d love to see this added in! Thank you!

Unknown pop-up came up that wanted money

Paid features gone

I paid for many features such as no ads a while back. Just to find out now I’m seeing ads and everything I paid for gone. Is this grounds for a lawsuit ?
