Pornographic Ads

There are pornographic ads displayed in this app. It’s bad for humanity and bad for business. After seeing the ads during my first use, I promptly deleted the app.

Great App

This app is excellent for quick reference when you don’t have a dictionary handy. I also like the fact that they sometimes reference 2-3 dictionaries. Although the only downside is it does not have any definitions from Black’s Law.

As a lawyer I’m finding the app to be very beneficial!

There are lots of terms in this dictionary with very detailed explanations and examples 💯
