Better than most free apps

Very few ads. Functions as it should. Is very useful and helpful. Has a word of the day widget. Very good basic dictionary app. I was tired of downloading "word of the day apps" that were less word of the day and more lesson based, daily challenge game apps which forced you to pay for them just to get any actual use out of them, and they weren't even what they advertised to be. I love this app so far. Keep being awesome!

Fun & educational games

Always amazing easy to understand definitions of words yet they are so precise and accurate.

Great dictionary; terrible ads

I love this app and use it throughout my week. Merriam-Webster is the standard and I grew up in a household where mouths would clamp shut and fingers would point to a dictionary when I asked anyone how a word was spelled.

But these ads are TOO MUCH. They are egregious and account for the lost star.

How do I make the book stop flying?

I dont know man but it flys

Exceptional

The Merriam Webster Dictionary has come in handy more than once! The definitions are clearly explained and make perfect sense. I especially enjoy having the thesaurus because it comes in handy during various writing assignments, they have soooo many word varieties! Love this, give it a try!!!

Nice dictionary

It has games and itโ€™s nice

One word

Inquisitive.

Pulls

Wwwwww in the chatttt

Very user friendly

Iโ€™m constantly looking up words, and this dictionary is very user. I love it.

Upgrade

Itโ€™s hilarious to think they want to charge you for a dictionary when the Google app exists. Free version is acceptable but popups are annoying. I also have a dozen physical dictionaries with zero popups.

Deleting this app

Itโ€™s ridiculous to have full page advertisements that make you wait before exiting. Why would anyone use this and deal with that when they can simply google it.

Positive impacts of Merriam Webster Dictionary.

This appโ€™s ability to provide words and not some type of rocket science words, these are words that can be used on a daily basis , words that describes real life situations, is truly amazing- well they may sound out of the world a-times, but itโ€™s real meaning are very correlating to each and every human being in every respective aspects of our lives.

Good

I like how let us listen to the word

Mmm words

I'm only here because of Stoker, Tolkien, and oddly Meyer. Mmm Big words for my little brain

English Language Right at My Fingertips

Iโ€™m not the greatest speller, so I needed something to turn to and I love this app. While I have other tech assistants like Siri and Alexa, I continue to use a dictionary for spelling, as well as word meaning. And I love the word games that the app comes with, which makes language fun, and helps me improve mine.

Too many adds

Too many adds thatโ€™s it but itโ€™s good

Not totally free

You get some free then they want you to pay for a subscription.

Pronunciation

I wish the app provided for an audible (spoken)pronunciationโ€”maybe it does and I havenโ€™t found it yet

Handy-dandy

I love having this app on my home Home Screen.

The dictionary app

I love it it helps my granddaughter do her work
