Update version trash

The older version of this app was way better than this updated version, when i’m trying to find out what certain words that my family or siblings use it doesn’t even work anymore

The app is blank 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently this app hasn’t been active in awhile from the looks of it, unfortunately. I REALLY wish it was. And I wish I wasn’t able to download it if there’s nothing there. I was excited. I hope you (developers) change your mind about the app. I think everyone will love it if you do.

Review of UD

Every time a look up a word it is not in your dictionary. Today I looked up WOKE. Guess what? There was no entry for woke. I have looked up a variety of words that have been used frequently in the recent past and they aren’t included in your dictionary.

Why is no information available?

What is going on? I downloaded the app even paid for no ads… nothing there are definitions, all get is blank screen. I have reloaded several times. I’m not sure what is going on? I can access no information?
