Aside from interrupting my creative pursuits to incessantly demand a 5 star review it’s a great one

I think it comes to life in my sleep and makes me do things.

I have just paid for & downloaded this app onto iPhone17.
It’s very clunky.
I cannot access the Thesaurus, which is why I purchased it, despite searching the inadequate menu.
Tapping on ‘Home’ the top of the Menu -nothing appears. There is no info on how to use the app. Dictionary definitions are brief, in no way comprehensive & don’t match the printed book of Webster Dictionary.
Settings only give a colour choice, nothing else.
I consider this a complete waste of £12.99

Terrible at Guessing MissSpelled Words !

For people that only turn to a dictionary to discover how to spell words, this is terrible at this remaining function !

Annoying pop up

This has an annoying pop-up that attempts to coerce the user into providing a five star rating each time the app is started. One should not be harassed to provide a review like this on paid software.

Dictionary pretending to be a thesaurus

Bug

Not a thesaurus, just a dictionary

Bug

Clunky, incomplete, all but worthless as a dictionary and completely worthless as a thesaurus

Bug

Not a comprehensive, or well-thought out reference book

Bug

Surprisingly few words

Bug

This is the second app I’ve purchased, Webster/Roget is identical to the Oxford. Both are useless if you’ve graduated elementary school. Although both are advertised as a Thesaurus, neither are.

Bug

Not a large selection of words in the thesaurus

Bug

Same word of the day every day and can’t turn it off

Bug

Frequently doesn’t have words that other dictionaries have

Bug

Every time I touch the magnifying glass to search I have to first delete the last item I searched for.

Bug

App is supposed to be Thesaurus and Dictionary, but only Dictionary came with download

Bug

Word of the day is a nuisance

Bug

Dictionary did not include words like anthropomorphi

Bug

Charged incorrect dollar amount

Bug

I cannot believe I paid money for this worthless piece of a thesaurus.

Bug

It doesn't even have a dictionary function with it, as the logo implies.

Bug

At first looking up synonyms can be a hit and miss affair with very few (sometimes no) results.

Bug

The app needs to be updated with iOS7 aesthetics

Bug

Claims to be a thesaurus but often gives a dictionary. There’s no obvious way to switch to thesaurus.

Bug

No entry for the word cadet?

Bug

Cumbersome search and sends the same ‘word of the day’ notification of the same word - “poet” - a word I was already familiar with, incidentally.

Bug

This was bad enough before the latest update. It does not recognise many English words as it seems to be American. It has nothing whatsoever in common with Roget, and I can now no longer use it as even a basic thesaurus since updating.

Bug

I wanted a thesaurus but got a two-bit dictionary.

Bug

Clumsy interface, limited offerings.

Bug

Couldn't find the word skewer

Bug

Lacked comprehensive definitions
