pleasing
exactly what it needs to give
zero stars if I could
Unfortunately, Merriam-Webster, you have lost the battle to the internet. Ain’t no WAY I am either paying for no ads or having to wait while ads load just to look up a definition that the internet could give me in 0.2 seconds. Give up. It’s not your fault, just the way of the times. Merriam-Webster has been defeated by far superior forces.

Excellent in helping me find those words I need.
Ads ruin the experience
I thought using this app would be an easier way to look up words than using the Merriam-Webster site on my browser app. With these full screen unskippable and jarring ads showing up every few times I look up a word it's unusable. The exit button once it shows up is difficult to spot. There's no way to report an offensive or eye-straining ad that I've seen. Horrid app, just use the website.

Easy to use
Not had this long but already finding it better to use than my previous app. I write very little these days so it’s easy to find myself paused while writing a letter due to a simple spelling query. The answer is, keep my phone near by and when needed, just speak the word and it’s there in large print easy to read and the option to hear how it sounds. I like this app, easy to use and gets the job done.

Pocket Dictionary
Having a dictionary on your person results in improved understanding of what you are reading and a better vocabulary.
One thing I wish they would have is a search history
One thing I wish they have is a search history because you’d be able to see your resent word searches
More games
We need games more often
Great app
Great app if you need to look up the meaning of words
Fabulous Learning Guide
I love this app, easy to navigate, accurate & it makes it fun to learn!! I use it daily, as does my young daughter!
Far too many ads
Was a good dictionary app until they filled it to the brim with ads. My final straw was when I looked up a word only to find out that that particular word was put behind a subscription paywall and unless I wanted to pay actual money I was out of luck. Needless to say, I have since deleted this app without there being any chance I come back.

Op-out
When I tip on the app it come up but will not stay up, it closes as fast as it opens. This is what I paid for an app that I can not use on my iPhone X. If you have an iPhone X get some other dictionary app because this one will not work for iPhone X.
Genuinely
It’s a pleasure to go to one place and have your questions answered in an appropriate and instant help
Not good at English
Fixes that for me
Love it- I feel my brain working :)
The games, the learning, and ease of reference-beyond google. I truly appreciate. I’ve subscribed to the version without ads, which I am also pleased with. However, I am not a fan of subscriptions. Maybe I should just buy a pocket dictionary.
Ad interruption
Great app except for one really annoying thing—random, full screen pop up ads for games and gambling apps that you can’t exit (no x to close window). The only way to get rid of them is to quit the app and relaunch it. Really, Merriam-Webster? You should be ashamed.
Easy to use
It’s such s nice experience looking up words on the app vs a search engine
Very Useful
Helps me when I'm writing. Very practical App. Thanks!
