It also does not seem to be updating at their website. Maybe the app and the service are no longer supported. In any case, something that used to be excellent is much less useful. You can still look up words, but their word of the day function no longer works. ### 4/5 — Add a few things *2023-07-19, version 3.5.1* I recently downloaded this app and its pretty good where you can look up a word and there’s different options. I do recommend adding a few features though like adding your own definition! Just like on the website. As well a light and dark theme option would be great! That’s it really! ### 3/5 — No Dark Mode? *2023-06-28, version 3.5.1* App is good, the lack of a dark mode ruins it. Burns my eyes. ### 4/5 — Please include the ability to submit a word/definition *2022-12-23, version 3.5.1* I love Urban Dictionary. I’ve used it for years on desktop and mobile! The only thing missing on mobile is the ability to submit a word/definition. You can do it on desktop. I know I can do it if I go to the website in a mobile browser, but it’s not as good of a UI experience. It would be better if it was built into the app. Please include! ### 3/5 — Abandoned app??? *2022-09-02, version 3.5.1* Hey, Urban Dictionary, have you abandoned your app? The last update was two years ago!?! ### 4/5 — Crashs a lot *2022-08-31, version 3.5.1* Not as useful as the website ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2022-08-11, version 3.5.1* i absolutely love this app! its so helpful but there is a problem. when i am on mobile data, it cannot connect me to the app, even if i have full bars. please fix this! ### 1/5 — Liberals *2022-07-18, version 3.5.1* The libtards took this app ### 1/5 — Bugs bugs bugs *2022-06-19, version 3.5.1* The ratings are all weird now. It’s like all identical. ### 3/5 — Speaking entries *2022-06-02, version 3.5.1* I can’t add a shortcut to speak entries. Please add this. There is a play button to hear the word spoken. It should read the whole entry. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2024-03-10, version 3.5.1* just infinitely loading, doesn’t even open. only app to ever do this on my phone. ### 1/5 — Great website, unusable app *2024-02-22, version 3.5.1* The app hasn’t opened for me in like 3 years ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-12-01, version 3.5.1* When trying to use the app, it does not open.

I usually don’t review apps but doing this out of my fondness for urban dictionary. Long live! ### 5/5 — May be RACIST BUT GREAT FOR MY WEIRD DAD LOL *2023-05-25, version 3.5.1* Use it every day for slang even though native speakerlol me touch football, fifa mobile haha hilarious woo hoo ### 5/5 — Great and some funny *2023-04-06, version 3.5.1* Sometimes when I use the app, it automatically kicks me out of the word that I’m looking at and then I get annoyed with it at times. Does it happen to anyone else who has urban dictionary or is it just me ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2023-01-14, version 3.5.1* It is a fun experience to read something new every single day! Thank you very much for your hard work! Great sense of humor, broad range of subjects, exceptional creativity! ### 5/5 — Must Get! *2022-06-23, version 3.5.1* This website is legitimately lit! Almost always accurate, I just looked up the term ‘dropsies’ and typically I’d use the phrase: “butter fingers,” but if it’s someone I’m comfortable with I do say slang. I simply researched and it shows Oxford dictionary is stating it’s a water cavity in the body/fluids that are excessive. Then the new Oxford is the saying the same exact things word for word; expect, it has opted out on the first letter of that word in the new Oxford, but that’s three words and two different meanings’ to me I found that intriguing. I love you all, keep it up. I had to respond because you all deserve more reviews. Referring my mom to it lol. ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2022-06-14, version 3.5.1* Oh yea, trippy mane ### 5/5 — Love it but please add DARK mode *2022-06-02, version 3.5.1* I absolutely love this app. It is my go two when I’m texting someone and they use a term or abbreviation that I don’t know or I think is some kind of text slang. OR when I’m talking to someone in person, if i’m feeling bold enough I’ll pull the app out right in front of them. Instead of asking the person, I pull out UD! That goes to show how useful the app is!! However, all that aside, it’s 2022, can we please have a dark mode that matches the system. At night, I find myself using all dark apps, and the moment I need UD, I’m blinded by the white screen. Please add Dark mode!! Thank ya :) ### 5/5 — LOOK HERE IT MIGHT RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM *2022-01-07, version 3.5.1* Hello, I’m here to tell you if you go on urban dictionary and see the definitions and you think there not serious definitions go on English dictionary it should have all the words you need (LOOK IT UP English dictionary) hope that helped ### 5/5 — Crying Trumpers *2021-11-19, version 3.5.1* Love the app and what makes it 10x better is seeing all the butthurt Trumpers leave 1 star reviews bc they’re lord and savior Donald J. Trump was insulted 😂 ### 5/5 — The best I’ve tried *2021-10-13, version 3.5.1* Very comprehensive all that’s missing is etymology. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
