Hope they are adding more words

Must be a pretty new app—most of the time when I tap on one of the Related Words listed at the bottom of an entry, that word is not available in the app.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We have tested this issue but are unable to reproduce it. However, we recently updated our app; please give it another try. Best regards,

Error 404

Most all words provide error when a week ago it was working well. Sad. It’s time to delete. Please update it and I will be back.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for being one of our first users. We greatly appreciate your feedback and apologize for the issue. Please give it another try and let us know if anything else happens. Best regards,

Really enjoying it

So far I’m really liking this app. There are two things I would like to see. 1. To have Apple ID login for sign in. 2. Have a developer contact available in settings. Otherwise everything else works great!
