**Commonly reported bugs**

- Cannot access Thesaurus
- Tapping 'Home' does nothing
- No information on how to use the app
- Dictionary definitions are brief
- Settings only offer color choice
- Terrible at guessing misspelled words
- Annoying pop-up demanding 5-star review
- Search feature is terrible
- App is not a thesaurus
- Dictionary pretending to be a thesaurus
- Not a thesaurus, just a dictionary
- Clunky, incomplete, all but worthless as a dictionary and completely worthless as a thesaurus
- Not a comprehensive, or well-thought out reference book
- Surprisingly few words
- 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.
- Not a large selection of words in the thesaurus
- Same word of the day every day and can’t turn it off
- Frequently doesn’t have words that other dictionaries have
- Every time I touch the magnifying glass to search I have to first delete the last item I searched for.
- App is supposed to be Thesaurus and Dictionary, but only Dictionary came with download
- Word of the day is a nuisance
- Dictionary did not include words like anthropomorphi
- Charged incorrect dollar amount
- I cannot believe I paid money for this worthless piece of a thesaurus.
- It doesn't even have a dictionary function with it, as the logo implies.
- At first looking up synonyms can be a hit and miss affair with very few (sometimes no) results.
- The app needs to be updated with iOS7 aesthetics
- Claims to be a thesaurus but often gives a dictionary. There’s no obvious way to switch to thesaurus.
- No entry for the word cadet?
- Cumbersome search and sends the same ‘word of the day’ notification of the same word - “poet” - a word I was already familiar with, incidentally.
- 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.
- I wanted a thesaurus but got a two-bit dictionary.
- Clumsy interface, limited offerings.
- Couldn't find the word skewer
- Lacked comprehensive definitions

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

*2026-03-02, version 10.0.11*

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

### 2/5 — Veron

*2026-01-07, version 10.0.11*

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

### 2/5 — Terrible at Guessing MissSpelled Words !

*2024-10-26, version 10.0.11*

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

### 1/5 — Annoying pop up

*2024-07-03, version 10.0.11*

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.

### 5/5 — Rating

*2024-06-20, version 10.0.11*

Excellent product

### 5/5 — Bible study

*2022-06-24, version 10.0.11*

Real helpful the know what stuff means.

### 5/5 — Kristina

*2021-10-23, version 10.0.11*

Excellent app very pleasing and happy l purchased it , have found what l have been looking for ,each and every time. Well done on creating such a brilliant app! I would recommend it to other people without hesitation.

### 2/5 — Lacking many words. Move on.

*2021-08-05, version 10.0.11*

Compared to Webster or Collins, this can’t compare. It lacks basic words like “flamingo”. Unacceptable. Move on.

### 5/5 — S’handy

*2021-05-13, version 10.0.11*

Dependable. Always there when I need it.

### 1/5 — Not a thesaurus

*2021-04-05, version 10.0.11*

I purchased this as a thesaurus. No thesaurus, just a dictionary. Pointless.
