App not working

Type then select a new word then app goes into never ending search. Same with the paid version. App not working - please fix or provide refund.

Fair

I have looked up many words that apparently “don’t exist “ as the app didn’t recognize. Also, in advanced word finder, fairly easy words are not put together that appear obvious, once problem solved. I would never count on this - ever. But I do use the thesaurus, which has helped me in the past when writing an unimportant note.

No toggle feature

I have used Word Hippo internet version for several years. This app makes it difficult to toggle between synonyms/antonyms/definitions.
I will be deleting and going back to internet.
