User reviews

Excellent, superb, outstanding

A truly FREE dictionary, with etymologies, *and* a save word function?! I cannot thank you enough!

Great dictionary. Simple.

Great tool. Hoping development continues

Functional and accessible!

I found this app a few weeks ago (after deleting multiple dictionary apps—as a copy editor, I'm extremely picky) and downloaded this, and it's been wonderful! Love the design, the usability, the lack of ads, and the accessibility. I'm SO glad this exists, and I hope the creator keeps maintaining it. Thank you!

One-year update: this is still my go-to dictionary and thesaurus, even when I need multiple resources. It's charmingly simple but comprehensive. My very minor nitpick is the search box's inability to bypass autocorrect. The app is wonderfully fast, so a partially typed word often elicits the entry I want. But I can't just click the entry, because if I don't fill in the rest of the word, autocorrect will change it, and the entry will disappear/change. This is a common UI issue that I'd love to see fixed, but with or without it, the app continues to be a delight.

Saved words: broken

I appreciate the idea of this app (and in general it works well) so I will give 5 stars but the one feature that is heavily bugged is the saved words list. They constantly get deleted for no apparent reason, this is very frustrating! Thanks

Impressive! Incredible! Marvelous! Outstanding!

This is simply THE BEST dictionary app! Other dictionary apps have been very disappointing & ruined by capitalism. I was pleasantly surprised to not be bombarded by ads or have to pay a ridiculous subscription fee! Thank you for putting the time into creating a genuinely incredible app :)
