Please add this feature. ### 4/5 — Very good but can’t handle a space *2024-03-24* At first I thought it wasn’t working at all, but then realized that the word I pasted also contained a space after the text. Once I removed the space it produced the results, which were an abundance of synonyms. Thanks for a great free app. ### 5/5 — Reccomended *2023-03-08, version 1.13* It works really well, and it’s a simple design and everything is layed out nicely. I enjoy learning new words while I’m bored, so this is really useful considering it can be used offline. <3 ### 5/5 — Very simple usage *2022-08-21* I can easily navigate through this app for many synonymous quickly. ### 5/5 — Need a word *2022-08-05, version 1.13* Well I don’t need to search my scrambled brain for that word now. I love having a saurus on hand. ### 5/5 — Great Simple App *2022-04-12, version 1.13* It’s a great simple app that does just what it’s supposed to without any fancy features getting in the way. Simplicity is often underrated so it’s nice to have such an easy to use app. ### 5/5 — Great assistant! *2022-02-08* I love pocket thesaurus! I'm currently working through college english classes, and having a thesaurus at my fingertips spices up my writing! ### 5/5 — Great resource *2022-01-18, version 1.13* Useful for quick ideas when writing a book. I can recommend it highly. ### 5/5 — Terrific assistant *2021-11-05, version 1.13* Best little “go - to” for me in everyday writing. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2021-10-07* I do believe this is the handiest app I’ve owned… With the hope of being an author one day, Pocket Thesaurus comes in handy quite often in my writings. The app is smooth, brings up synonyms and antonyms with their definitions and all! Love this app… 😉❤️ ### 5/5 — Annoying ads, great app *2021-10-07* Please offer the option to pay to get rid of the ads. This simple and snappy and off-line capable app is the best thesaurus among the half a dozen I’ve tried in the App Store. ### 5/5 — 5 *2021-07-19, version 1.13* Quality AF ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads *2025-12-09, version 2.0.5* Within 5 minutes of use, it was showing nude pictures in the ads. ### 1/5 — Change isn’t always good *2025-01-30, version 2.0.0* I enjoyed the layout and depth of each and every antonym and synonym - but you’ve taken that away, so I’ll have to use another app ### 1/5 — The old version was great. The new and improved is unusable! *2025-01-26, version 2.0.0* I used to use this app all the time, but this new release does not work. I will look for something to replace this now. ### 1/5 — Thesaurus *2023-09-09, version 1.13* Does not work! ### 1/5 — Bleak is right *2022-08-14, version 1.13* Search does nothing. 😢 ### 1/5 — Can not get rid of the adverting! *2022-07-05, version 1.13* This would be a great app except the advertising can not be removed! Navigation is horrible and desperately needs total redesigning! ### 1/5 — . *2021-01-17, version 1.12* It really didn’t work for me.... ### 1/5 — Very bad application *2020-12-05, version 1.12* Too many adds, user unfriendly. I put in a word, it selects another word. Doesn’t work on my iPhone. Looking for an alternative ### 1/5 — Search Function Does Not Work *2020-11-08, version 1.12* The word I’m searching for disappears. Always. ### 1/5 — BLEK! *2020-09-11, version 1.12* I typed in my word- THREE TIMES! - then clicked SEARCH- and every time it brought up the same word - a word I did NOT type 🙄 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The power of words… *2026-08-19* This app is one of my favorites! The combination of a thesaurus & dictionary at my fingertips is invaluable. If I could make one improvement, it would be the option to see an unfamiliar word used in a sentence for context. ### 5/5 — perfect *2026-06-03* i have an older model of iPhone and this app loads instantly. there are no adds and the ui is minimalist. ### 5/5 — Pocket Thesourus *2025-04-25* Very helpful resource in my writing class. Use it all the time ### 5/5 — 🤩🤩🤩 *2024-08-22, version 1.13* This app is quite helpful when trying to write with variety but also precision. It gives many words to choose from and the majority of the time I find a synonym that works perfectly and just adds that sense of uniqueness. I have already seen improve meant in my writing! I would definitely recommend this app for anyone who is searching for an app that won’t charge you! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-03-11, version 1.13* Useful app I use a lot ### 5/5 — Great free tool *2024-02-20* Great free tool for finding synonyms etc. I use it for writing song lyrics. A list of alternate word possibilities is a good way to start thinking in several new and different directions quickly. Great for creativity and very convenient! ### 5/5 — Meh *2024-01-09, version 1.13* Would be great if it actually worked but it freezes mid type, navigation buttons never work, highlighted type doesn’t redirect an on and on and on. Really, REALLY, irritating. ### 5/5 — Te words do acrobatics and gives me tons of excuses *2023-11-26, version 1.13* Awesome ### 5/5 — Couldn’t survive without it! *2023-09-27, version 1.13* I have been using this app for over 3 years! I still can’t believe it’s such an awesome & brilliant app. (I mean, let’s face it so many apps are such a disappointment). But this hasn’t been. The huge number of synonyms & antonyms are wonderful. For my serious writing I do really do need to push myself away from the tried & true meanings & word usage. Thank you 🙏 for all the help & support your app gives me every day. ### 5/5 — Very great *2023-05-25, version 1.13* T1-5 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
