### 4/5 — Amazing App But

*2024-06-27*

It would be great to have users be able to add words, since some of the groupings aren’t comprehensive. Also, in more populated groupings, it’s hard to isolate and expand individual word nodes to read them. They all get crushed together. I wish there was a way to select one node to float a bit apart from the others, or otherwise separate them while keeping the remaining group contents on the screen.

### 3/5 — Annoying Display - Continuously rotates

*2023-03-01*

And there's no way I can see to send feedback except by writing a review.  I'd give it 4 stars if the rotation issue were solved., maybe 5 if you could send feedback.

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2022-10-11*

Add feature to search and compare two words parallelly. This will be really helpful in checking if there is any connection between them.
Again great useful app

### 4/5 — only in english available

*2022-08-18*

Need this application in german language with german synonyms

### 4/5 — It just works

*2021-12-08*

It’s a bit hard to use with words that have many synonyms, because you can’t see them all, but otherwise it’s really good. It provides far more synonyms than most thesaurus websites.

### 3/5 — Pictures

*2021-06-12*

It would better if we can access with pictures together.

### 4/5 — Great idea but… buggy?

*2021-06-11*

I love the concept of a visual presentation of related words and meanings. This is a really clever app idea. However… the (i)nfo button says “Tap on a word and proceed to the thesaurus” or “…to see its definition” but - at least on my current version iPhone - this doesn’t happen. The words all spin like crazy and links reorganise themselves but it appears to not work as advised. Not every word I tap provides thesaurus data or definition. May be a bug… or perhaps that’s the app’s limitation. Still, many times I’ve found the app helpful when searching for alternative words or expressions. Still consider it worth downloading.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2021-02-12, version 1.2.5*

I recpect the effort that is offended in this app , but there is a problem in zoom in and zoom out

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-02-06*

Fast, super easy and efficient!

### 5/5 — Bugs, again

*2021-02-05*

“Simple” and “unsubdivided (which I don’t know what it’s about)” are bugs.

### 4/5 — Schade….

*2021-02-04*

….leider keine deutsche Übersetzung

### 5/5 — Excellent, but unable to save

*2021-02-04*

The app is excellent, very quick and useful.
But I am unable to save the word wrap....need help..

### 5/5 — This is good ...

*2021-02-03*

This is very, very good!

### 5/5 — good

*2021-02-03*

若能增加发音与中文含义，就更加完美了

### 4/5 — Error report

*2020-11-26*

1. When searching ‘big’ or ’large’, the result will be a mess, crazily shaking like a ball of thread.
2’ When searching ‘small’ or ‘little’, there will be a lot of ‘small’ or ‘little’ in the result.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me

*2024-03-25*

Crashes as soon as I type in anything.

### 1/5 — Poor performance

*2022-06-06, version 1.2.6*

It is helpless I using this app as it is a wasteful venture

### 1/5 — Unhelpful

*2021-07-11*

This want really that helpful. When I try to click on a word, nothing would happen for the most part. And if it split off into atom arms, it would be epileptic and be distracting and not overly helpful. I was hoping for its innovative approach to guide me in ways that other apps haven’t helped.  Fail sadly

### 1/5 — Got it for free and it’s worth less than that.

*2021-06-12*

This is the least comprehensive, most unhelpful thesaurus you could download on the App Store. I’m absolutely certain of that. I have thesaurus apps that have so much information about words and synonyms they have to tab them, sort them by syllables, let you choose whether to use similar but not the same meanings, all the same options for antonyms, definitions, and phrases - just 100 miles past this silly graphic based nonsense.

### 1/5 — 下载总是中断

*2020-07-15*

无法安全成功地下载，设备是ipad2019，系统也是最新的

### 1/5 — 无法安装

*2020-04-30*

无法安装 自动取消什么情况。

### 1/5 — search [cardinal] is bug

*2020-04-30*

search [cardinal] is bug

### 1/5 — 不是限时免费吗

*2020-02-20*

怎么会扣钱

### 1/5 — Words keep on jumping. Unusable.

*2019-02-28, version 1.0.1*

Try the words 'big' or 'large'
It would have been great if words just stop jumping frantically. It's unusuable unless they fix it.

### 2/5 — Interactive thesaurus

*2025-11-15*

Tends to repeat itself where you find yourself in a loop other than getting more options

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

Great app. Very helpful. Helps to create and write.

### 5/5 — 好棒好棒的软件！

*2022-05-08*

美观、有创意、实用、不收集数据、还是免费。谢谢开发者为人类教育事业奉献的一份力，我逢人推荐！

### 5/5 — I like this App …

*2022-04-15*

… very very much for it‘s accuracy and it‘s design. I would like it even more if I could stop rotation and could be able to arrange the arms manually and or remove arms not fitting me needs.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2022-04-15*

It's sick

### 5/5 — Deutsche Übersetzung?

*2022-04-14*

Warum eine deutsche Übersetzung für eine App die einem nur nützt wenn man Englisch kann? Lächerlich

### 5/5 — Great Illustration!

*2021-11-30*

Visible way to look at how words are used.  Good job!

### 5/5 — Use ur app quite a few times monthly!

*2021-05-22*

Over the past few years while going back to college I have found that your app is highly useful. I have been extremely grateful to use ur tools throughout these past years. 
Thank YOU! Please keep up ur hard efforts! U are truly awesome!

### 5/5 — 固定一下查询的中心词使用感更好

*2021-03-16*

动态展示很好玩，晃来晃去的像游动的分子键，查词能带来趣味还蛮好的，有点过于灵活就是了。词库还需要扩充，实用性不太高，很多用词短句查不到。

### 5/5 — I love this

*2021-02-24*

You may not know you need this app. The concept behind it is simple, the interface is simple, the results are almost always exactly what i need. I use it almost every day. There are some curveballs you can throw it, like a word where a pinwheel of identical words is two nodes away from what you typed, but it’s rare.
