### 5/5 — Simply simple

*2015-12-15*

Just what I was looking for.....Simple to use.....no overload of info....especially in the AM when I do the Word Game in the papers...Thanks to the previous reviewer....appreciate the input.....

### 4/5 — Finally

*2015-11-15*

After searching and searching, I finally found a dictionary app that suits my needs.  When I am composing and need the spelling of a word, or not sure of my usage,  this app comes to the rescue. 
I don't want or need all the extras that other apps provide.
I need the correct spelling and  the definition, NOW, not all the pop-ups, banners, and free offers.
This app is very neat and efficient.  Aha!  Just now I knew not how to spell "efficient".  I went to the app and had to try seven different variations until I hit the correct spelling.  All I got were, "Not Found" repeatedly.
Would it be to costly to add suggestions in the search field?  I suppose it would sense you didn't.
Otherwise, a very good app for me.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fast and easy to use

*2015-06-25*

Great simple app that brings up definitions of words quickly. May benefit from a word of the day alert and some of the example sentences weren't the clearest for getting a good sense of the word, but the quotes were very interesting. Also a settings page would be helpful with FAQs.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

### 5/5 — Simple

*2015-06-13*

This is a very simple dictionary and thesaurus. That's not to say it isn't good. Simple is good. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Type a word, get the definition and synonyms. I'd like to also see antonyms though.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2015-06-12*

Being a words guy, I found myself getting lost in this app for a good 20 minutes! I learned a lot of synonyms!
