However, it provides very few synonyms and antonyms as compared to my other standard dictionary apps. I wish that word magic will soon beef up this portion of the app. Just for clarity purposes, I do have “antonyms “ turned on in settings. Don’t get me wrong, it has a place in my reference folder but only a tiny space. ### 5/5 — Fast and Useful *2019-08-28, version 8.4.0* This is a clean, well-designed app that exceeds the speed and level of support that you get from simply searching the web for word alternatives. ### 5/5 — Corporate Safety Manager *2019-03-07, version 8.3.0* A good thesaurus is a must have for anyone in the business world when half their day is spent emailing, writing proposals and reports, etc... After getting this one, I deleted the others from my phone. This one never fails me. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Thesaurus Dictionary ! *2019-02-24* Can not be Outclassed ! ### 5/5 — Great because it works off-line *2019-02-06, version 8.3.0* I had a thesaurus program that was OK, but I’m in a situation many times I eat on an airplane or a cruise ship where I need a thesaurus and I don’t have access to the Internet. This one has a lot of resources/words and works without the Internet. It was worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!!! *2018-11-21, version 8.3.0* I have been using this app almost since it’s beginning. I have relied on it faithfully. I use it frequently. No crash issues ever. Frequent updates & rarely have I ever had an issue in my research where I have not been able to conclude it using this app. I reached out to developers in the past and they are very professional & courtious. ### 3/5 — Lacking *2018-11-05, version 8.3.0* While for basic it is fine. Anything more sophisticated then you run into trouble. Look up “ideology” for instance you will get some vague terms such “philosophy”, but not real interchangeable synonym like perhaps “ belief structure”. ### 5/5 — the best ever! *2018-08-29, version 7.14.0* the best ### 5/5 — English Thesaurus - Best on the app store! *2018-08-19, version 7.14.0* Word Magic Software Team create high-quality apps; this thesaurus is no exception. It’s simple to look up any word to find synonyms. Then, click on any of them to look up THAT word—making it incredibly useful to find just the shade of meaning you need. Note that all this works offline, as well. A necessity for all writers! ### 5/5 — Thesaurus *2018-04-18, version 7.13.0* What a joy to have this reference at my fingertips. The best! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Extremely basic *2024-05-06* Purchased this low quality app based on prior reviews but it is lacking, to say the least; it provides only very basic, simple synonyms that can be easily conjured up without the app; for serious writers - this is not your app; for elementary school children, it would probably be OK ### 1/5 — Don’t think for me just provide a group of words I can use to make a selection *2024-04-13* I’m looking for an actual Thesaurus, not some single, shallow word, or phrase that YOU think is what I’m looking for. You obviously have no idea what I need. ### 1/5 — The app is not speaking out words. *2024-01-07* I couldn’t get help from the company either. It just wasted my money for this app. ### 1/5 — NOPE, PASS... *2020-10-15, version 8.8.0* The very first word I searched was a no-go. Now that’s disheartening, ya know? The word I searched? “EIDETIC” Not an everyday word, but not unspoken either. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2020-04-07* So far the app is useless. Does not respond to the word typed in the search line. What am I missing apart from the $5:00 is spent to purchase it🤨🤨🤨 ### 1/5 — So far ‘stupid’ and obtuse!!! *2020-03-27, version 8.7.0* So far stupid and obtuse!!! ### 1/5 — Waisted $ *2020-01-16, version 8.6.0* One word to describe this app & I don't need a thesaurus to help because it wouldn't be in this app- Lame describes best ### 1/5 — Basically doesn’t work *2019-07-30, version 8.4.0* Cannot search the words you want, it auto fills ### 1/5 — Thesaurus *2019-07-26, version 8.4.0* This app is absolutely a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Designed for people who lack a good formal education *2017-12-14, version 7.11.0* This is a waste of money. Vociferate was not listed as a syn. which it is for scream. Waste of my money. Designed for simple minds with limited education. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Two words: excellent, unique. *2023-04-08* Best thesaurus! ### 5/5 — Good App *2023-01-24, version 8.8.0* I had been looking for an app that would speak as well as give me another word(s) to use. I was truly happy with my selection. ### 5/5 — A good companion *2021-12-04, version 8.8.0* This app has been a tool, a very useful one, every time that I need help in clarifying the terms of my reading habits. I recommend it highly! Don’t remember if I paid for it, but if I did, my investment gave me a treasure!!!👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Five years *2021-02-01, version 8.8.0* Have been using this app for the last app, I've never been disappointed. Amazing amazing app. ### 5/5 — Useful‼️ *2020-12-05, version 8.8.0* I love it❣️ I’m a teacher and I am constantly referring to this app to make sure I have the proper spelling, pronunciation, and definition of words❣️ Thank You for such a useful app❣️ ### 5/5 — This application- *2020-11-11, version 8.8.0* Very helpful for finding multiple words that help me to express myself ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-10-16* Only app word search your ever need ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2019-11-29, version 8.6.0* Oh...getting is for zero was like a Christmas present guys. I should thank you a million. I’m a writer form Iran and I don’t have access to international money transfer system to buy all of your apps! Thanks again:)))) ### 5/5 — Thesaurus *2019-10-28, version 8.6.0* The best thesaurus I’ve ever used. I write a newsletter every month, and have done so for 40 years. When I got my1st IPad and discovered your thesaurus it helped me a whole lot. ### 5/5 — Review *2019-09-07* If it was along with examples i gave it five stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
