For the last week whenever I do a search it crashes on me. When it does work, I love the variety of resources it searches in and the variety of responses a search returns. ### 3/5 — Great application *2009-03-12, version 0* Love the offline functionality. ### 4/5 — Please help *2021-01-20* Hi, You responded that this was fixed, but unfortunately it is not. Is there something I need to do? I’ve restarted my device and the app appears to be up to date. From Sep 26: I love your app, but it recently stopped working. Help! Anytime I tap a word for the definition, it says “Looks like you are offline.” I am definitely not off line. I use the app on an iPad. **Developer response:** This should be fixed now. Sorry about that! Please make sure you have updated to 3.2 of the app ### 4/5 — iPad pro *2016-01-16, version 2.3.1* Have used this app for 2 years on my iPad Air but it doesn't work on my iPad pro, very disappointing. My rating only applies to iPad Air. ### 4/5 — It needs another mode. *2009-10-27* In my opinion, it needs a mode to allow string results OUTSIDE the dictionary's limitations. On the other hand, good job! This app is better than the sone of the paid applications! ### 5/5 — Giving it 5 stars even though it stopped working *2020-11-12* However I remember how good it was, and hope the dev fixes it soon. **Developer response:** Thanks! This should be fixed now - sorry about that! ### 5/5 — Please help *2020-08-31, version 3.1* I have been using this BRILLIANT app for a long time and it has been FANTASTIC... However, just recently I am unable to access full use of its benefits because it keeps telling me, “SORRY It looks like you’re offline. You need to be connected to the internet to search for definitions” ### 5/5 — Stopped working *2020-08-28, version 3.1* Phone updated to IOS 13.6.1. Recently and the app has stopped working. ### 5/5 — Good update *2019-05-15, version 3.1* Thanks settings now remembered. I’ll just have to get used to not going to Mode first ;) ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fast and functional *2018-10-04, version 3.0.1* This app is superb. It works at blazing speed on my iPad Pro iOS 12. Works just as well on a MacBook High Sierra. Thanks Frank! ### 5/5 — FANTASIC! *2017-07-20* I normally do not write a review so quickly, but I have been using this FANTASTIC EVERYTHING for about 1 1/2 weeks now and WOW just WOW!! I can't believe it's FREE! I just found the dictionary TODAY! This is what prompted my 5 star review! Let me just say, I NORMALLY do not give 5 star reviews! But this deserves one! I originally got this for the Rhymes, and it has NOT disappointed! 4 1/2 years ago I was in an accident that left me with an TBI, before that I wrote constantly, I even had my work published. Since it has been very difficult for me to write like I once did. I have been look for a source to help me out, this is wonderful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I will definitely recommend this to ALL!!! **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you like it. ### 5/5 — 🤷🏽‍♂️👌🏽 *2017-06-18* 2 minutes into the app for testing. And not no bs. Good app so far I can say **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Thank you, TY! *2017-05-08* This is fantastic. You can solve crosswords, puzzle out anagrams, find rhymes. Oh, and see definitions. Thank you, Mr. O'Dwyer, for this invaluable app for "wordies" like me. **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — I like it *2015-03-07* This is a simple but great app. Works wonderful, I have the Mac version as well.
