### 1/5 — No where does it allow you to cancel the subscription this seems fraudulent

*2024-11-06, version 1.4.3*

I would like to have someone reach out to me please

### 2/5 — Works OK, limited synonyms, no antonyms

*2019-03-31, version 1.4.2*

This app works fine but typically fewer synonyms than online searches (Thesaurus.com). It does not give antonyms, which is the other basic thesaurus function. 

It could be improved by giving synonyms, antonyms AND a separate category of similar terms, including related word forms (verb forms of nouns) and by allowing you to follow a chain of related terms.

### 1/5 — never downloaded

*2017-06-27, version 1.4.2*

even though it said it did, it never appeared on my phone and the creator is impossible to reach.

### 5/5 — easy way to search

*2016-02-09*

This is a good application for searching the words.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2014-12-16, version 1.3.0*

Works well and is well supported.

### 2/5 — Woah

*2014-08-21, version 1.2.6*

This app was unexpectedly terrible. It gives very few synonyms, most of which aren't very applicable to writing. I wouldn't advise buying this

### 2/5 — Average

*2013-10-31, version 1.2.5*

I'd strongly recommend checking out other alternatives before purchasing this. Pretty narrow results, most of which you'd already know.

### 5/5 — DamnKoorya

*2013-01-06, version 1.2.4*

Really quite astonished by how fast & excellent THIS thesaurus app IS. Don't hesitate ,it IS superb!

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2012-12-09, version 1.2.4*

I'm an editor and frequently need to replace commonly misused words. This app cannot give me words to replace have of the words I enter ... and they're common! For example, enter the word said into Merriam Webster and you will get approximately 50 varying words. Enter it into this app and you get two, such as aforementioned.

### 2/5 — Not what it seems

*2012-11-16, version 1.2.4*

The print is so small I can barely read. The text cannot be enlarged. The page is full of advertisements. I bought a thesaurus only to get a constant sales pitch. Look elsewhere.
