This app is phenomenal for finding word replacements. What I most commonly use it for, and it has no comparison anywhere else, is when I cannot recall a word but I can remember it’s definition or a similar word, and I just follow the synonym spiral of suggestions until I encounter the word I wanted in the first place. It also ends up being a fairly decent dictionary as well by typing in the word I don’t know and then the synonyms help me to understand the definition and meaning of the word. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-02-14* I am always trying to expand my vocabulary and this app is really useful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
