## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2023-01-01, version 1.0*

You can type in any word you want, but it won’t do anything. Apparently the etymology of all our words is just a blank screen.

### 1/5 — It does not seem to have a definition, let alone the etymology of any words.

*2022-07-11*

Pretty useless unless you want to search a word, not get a definition and then get and ad. Don’t waste you’re time

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2021-10-26*

Worked well, but the intrusive advertising was too annoying and it was deleted after the first five minutes of use

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-02-26*

So many ads... each time you search for a word you get a pop up add and have to wait. They don’t even give very good definitions or history. Vague at best and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-05*

Period.

### 1/5 — From a good basic app to basically crap

*2020-05-07*

This use to be a quirky app that did what it did well, Etymology. 

I don’t know if the rights has been sold on or it’s has just been redesigned, but what they have done is to make it an ad app. Totally useless. Now it doesn’t give the etymology of a word, you are just faced with either an ads or a blank screen. 

Looks like I have to develop my own.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-02-16, version 1.0*

Can’t see any etymological content: none

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-05-22, version 1.0*

I like the app. Useful and reasonably simple to use. 

Disappointed that I am able only to listen to a machine generated voice read definitions to me. 

I want text. I can read. Myself.

### 4/5 — Bible references

*2024-06-20*

“Revelations” is not the name of the last book of New Testament. The term is singular not plural.😇; s.v., word of the day – Chiliasm

### 5/5 — Thank you…

*2025-12-25*

Great tool, must have, always certifies with Oxfords root origins + more ….
