User reviews

Excellent resource for Chaucer

No joke, the lexicon is so wonderfully comprehensive that by consulting it one can literally understand Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” in his Middle English.
None the less the app could have been better if it could be on a split screen for multitasking.

Great dictionary and app

The dictionary looks better in dark mode and the app is quick plus no ads to distract!

Great dictionary

Easy to use design. No ads. Great definitions and examples for words. Much better than any standard dictionary today. Some words are missing, but remember that this was written in 1913. It was a simpler time and people didn’t know about things like “soccer” or “proton”. But they did know “nincompoop” so that’s something.

A joy

A really attractive modern presentation of Webster’s 1918 dictionary, which has beautifully detail definitions and great examples of usage from classic writers. Thank you so much for making this app!

OED fan exploring

As a fan of OED over Webster’s I must admit that this is a delight in its own way.
Thank you!
