Great Quick Lookup of Word's Historical Definitions

Great to have a quick way view a word's historical definitions, choose favorites and make notes about the word defined.

--- However, as of latest update the Note's Font Color is invisible. My iPhone iOS 26.5 Display Settings is set to Dark Mode.

Excellent dictionary! I use it all the time for classic novels and Bible study.

Love this!!

I love this app!! I use it all the time to look up definitions - especially when working on Bible study. This one is essential.

Your work to provide this is much appreciated!

Thank you for making this information and history available on iOS and Apple computer devices. Well done!

What happened?

This app has changed completely. The majority of definitions used to have clear references to scripture, and examples of the words being used in the Bible. I just checked several words, and those references are almost entirely gone. Most telling are the words “sheep” and “shepherd”. Sheep especially used to have a long, and deeply meaningful definition in light of the word’s significance in Christianity. I opened the App Store to see if there was an explanation for the change. There isn’t one. What I noticed though is that an app that has reviews from as long ago as 11 years, somehow now has less than 50 reviews. I also noticed the developers labeling a review that pointed out the changes in the app as a fake review from another dictionary developer. There is a good possibility this review will also be labeled as fake. There is one way to tell if these critical reviews are fake - check the updated dictionary for yourself. If you are lucky, after a bland definition resembling definitions found in almost every dictionary, there may be a reference to a single verse.

Response from developer

This review contains multiple false statements that can be verified by anyone using the app. Our definitions and scripture references have NOT been removed or reduced. Check any word in this digital edition against the published edition - all content is 100% accurate and complete. Several months ago we released an updated version of the app supporting the latest Apple devices, and we now ask our customers to give us a rating in-app. In that short time we've gained 55 five-star reviews from real customers. We should start asking our users for written reviews too.

The Best!

This has been my favorite for years. I don’t use any other Dictionary!

Best dictionary

This is the best dictionary for Bible study because it has scripture references, and it is the best for the king James version. I encourage everyone who reads the king james version to purchase this because it will open your eyes to the things that Strongs concordance cannot because Strong was not a Trinitarian and did not believe in the deity of Christ.

Help!

What I type into the annotations portion doesn’t show up! And I tap on “app support” and it says “website coming soon.” The feature I bought this for is invisible and I can’t resolve it by simple reinstalling. I want my money back please if this can’t be fixed.

Great for Bible study!

This app is great for Bible study. Many of the words are given examples in Biblical terms and explanations. Teaching Sunday school I have asked my class to download this app for their own Bible study.

Beware

The app updated and has now taken out the scripture references....from where the definitions originated. Better get yourself a hard copy of this and a King James Bible too because this is the way it's going.

Response from developer

The scripture references HAVE NOT been removed from the app, you can see them in the screenshots provided. It is really disappointing to see a competing app developer STILL leaving fake negative reviews on our app. We have asked Apple to open an investigation into this fraudulent negative review.

Greatly appreciate this dictionary!

I often need to look up words during Bible study, and I so appreciate that this dictionary can provide definitions and frequently even examples of how the word is used in scripture. My go to for Bible Study. I share it frequently and would love it a little easier.

Doesn’t work

I paid for app but it doesn’t work. I have an I phone 16. I choose the word but the definition page is blank. No matter which word I choose. I’ve closed out and go back in and still nothing.

Excellent but family sharing fails

Love it but family sharing promised and does not work

If you have a KJV bible then you need this.

This app has enhanced my revelations and allows me to come to deeper understands of Gods Word.

Excellent app…excellent dictionary

Very grateful for all the hard work that went into this invaluable resource…thank you!

Great complement to the KJV Bible

One star deducted because I’d like to have the option to report any typos found (ex: under the definition of “mammon” it says “god or riches” instead of “god of riches”).

Scam

Read the two negative reviews. Developer made excuses for faults in the dictionary

Very Good but

Hi this is very good kindly include font enlargement for it to be perfect . Thank you

I give 5 Stars to pure Deception!

This godless cabal company has changed its definition’s.

A Lot of Words Missing

I read a lot of archaic writings, and I have been disappointed that this dictionary has so many words omitted.
