I thought I might have needed to set up an account so I did but it didn’t work. I’m really disappointed because the reviews are pretty okay but I had a hard time and have since deleted the app. Is it the way I used it? 😪 ### 1/5 — Download and nothing here… *2023-01-24, version 2.0* I just downloaded this app, because my old one was “no longer available.” No problem I thought, I’ll just download this one… Nothing there. Zip zilch nanda. Even trying to search brought up no results. 0 stars do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-19, version 2.0* I couldn’t search for anything or see words and their definitions under any category. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to the servers *2022-02-03, version 2.0* It won’t connect to any servers at all ### 1/5 — Al Carajo *2021-03-03, version 2.0* Lost me with the Biden bulls**t. ### 1/5 — Stolen *2020-11-14, version 2.0* This is NOT the actual Urban Dictionary. Its a stolen idea, copied into another app. SHADY... ### 4/5 — Cool app. *2020-10-09, version 2.0* I really like this app. I have been getting educated on stuff I hear, but have no idea what it means. ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-07-16, version 2.0* Random doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Three Stars *2019-11-28, version 2.0* Supposed to be a new word every day but there hasn't been one in over a week. ### 4/5 — Cool but... *2018-04-06, version 2.0* I love this app. I use it daily but I’m having problems trying to store my searches, as well as login into my account. Please try to fix that, because the app is fantastic! Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update version trash *2023-04-25* 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 ### 1/5 — The app is blank 🤷🏻‍♀️ *2023-04-23* 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. ### 1/5 — Review of UD *2023-02-24* 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. ### 1/5 — Why is no information available? *2023-02-23* 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? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-02-13, version 2.0* The old version was great. This version does not work at all. It just keeps saying to refresh. ### 1/5 — Sucked *2023-02-07, version 2.0* Friend recommended for daily chuckles and can’t even get it to load on either devices for me. So it’s a 1 star ### 1/5 — Change it back to how it was!!! *2023-02-05, version 2.0* It used to be great but not it changed and it is useless and worthless! Change it back to how it was! ### 1/5 — Do we really need an instruction manual? *2023-02-01, version 2.0* How do you use this? Nothing shows up for search, or even browse?! Don’t waste your time downloading this ### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it *2023-01-26, version 2.0* I tried looking up words when the app downloaded. Nothing. I logged into the app and tried looking up words. Nothing! This app is the worst of the worst word apps to download from the AppStore. ### 1/5 — A Waste of Time *2023-01-25, version 2.0* This app doesn’t work. It endless says “We didn’t get or find any definitions from/on UD server.” Happens no matter what you try searching. I’m already angry that the original app is gone from the app store and doesn’t work on my new device. An app that claims to be Urban Dictionary, but does NOTHING? Great, now I’m TWICE AS ANGRY! Deserves 0 Stars, do not waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sweet♥️ *2023-04-11* Answers questions.

Keeps me in the loop ### 5/5 — Better than the original app! *2018-07-08, version 2.0* This app is hands-down better than the original app in terms of features.
