Why I like a mobile dictionary

A mobile dictionary makes everything easier instead of opening up a big fat dictionary. Iโ€™m looking through everything.

Best dictionary

This is the oldest dictionary around and after all these years itโ€™s still around, they must be doing something right

Omg

Has everything my son needs for school

Good but one thingโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s good but when I am looking at a word it will like reset itโ€™s self idk please fix this bugโ˜บ๏ธ. And also it sometimes doesnโ€™t show antonyms to some words please fix this too๐Ÿ˜„โค๏ธ

Mariam-Webster

I love it

Dictionary

Great resource book

Malware-looking โ€œadโ€

At least I hope it was just an ad but it looked like a hack attempt. I thankfully clicked nothing, closed the app and deleted it immediately. Inexcusable for what should be a safe and reputable app.

Problem

Why canโ€™t I download this dictionary

Medical use

I would like medical suffixes, prefixes, and root words added if possible. Otherwise itโ€™s incredibly useful for work.

Words

Fun but upgrade the words in Test Your Vocabulary

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.
