So many features!!

WordHippo has so many features!!! I can’t believe how many words they have in this thing! It has everything you want, plus more. It is a little annoying that there and so many complicated, weird-sounding words, but it’s totally worth it. Way better than Thesaurus. :)

By far the best

The only app I’ve ever kept and used constantly in all contexts for everything. If I had one app this would be it.
