Pester. A verb: to harass with petty irritations : ANNOY

Able to See & Hear Words

I love that I can see how a word is spelled and hear the pronunciation using the Merriam-Webster Dictionary app.

Pure Scam

I’m out…

Great way to learn meanings & origins of words

Don’t google it unless you want a robot telling you answers to questions it could never ask.

Clear, concise, and includes a thesaurus!

Why not 5 stars? needs more etymology (2026)

Hmm

okay, I JUST got on this thing, but it seems really cool, so I’m going to give it a try!

Good App: COMPLETELY FREE

This is an amazing app, I would recommend it. It just doesn’t have a lot of words sometimes I still have to use google. But good app again, completely free!!👍

Stay focused

It’s nice to use a dictionary rather than relying on a browser search (which can introduce distractions). Also they’ve got word games on here! Fun.

Love the app

There’s nothing like having a Websters Dictionary at hand at all times when needed. I put the app on my phone and I use it so much. I love it.

Poor speller’s salvation

Have used this for decades because English is such a crazy language.

Always there when I need it.

Easy to navigate, fun little games to keep your mind fresh. It’s helpful and enjoyable.

love words

Webster is a fun app a learning app which keeps on giving so much to do on this app along with learning new words along with how to pronounce them properly. Love the game challenges as well it doesn’t get no better than this instead of using profanity use Webster I send this to those who use to much profanity. There is always a word you can use to replace your bad language. In my opinion 😊
