## What is Word Word Lite?

Word Word is a completely unique type of dictionary -- as it's one that you create yourself!

Word Word gives you all the tools you need to create your own personalized dictionary. You can quickly enter new words and ideas, get definitions for the words, and add customized tags and comments to each word. With this, you can make a dictionary of words that is completely your own. This app was made for writers, lyricists, poets, language students, or anyone else who uses words on a daily basis!

Usage Tips:

1. First, use the "Add a Word" feature to quickly add a word to the database. You can even enter the word's pronunciation.
2. The middle section of the page lets you add custom tags and memos to each word. Use the memo section to record definitions, rhymes, feelings, etc.
3. An automatic web search gives you definitions, synonyms, and more. The web search can be viewed fullscreen by pressing the magnifying glass icon.
4. The more words you add, the more robust your dictionary becomes!

New Import / Export Feature!
Version 2.0 allows you to export your word and tag database from one device, and import it onto another.  Simply use the export button in the upper right, and your database will be attached to an e-mail.  Tap on the e-mail attachment on the new device to import.  Please note that importing will overwrite any database that is currently on the device.

Caution:
When updating any app or OS version, it's always a good idea to make a backup first.  While app updates have been tested thoroughly, the creators of this app cannot be held responsible for any data loss that may occur as a result of a problem during the upgrade process.

About the Lite Version:

### 5/5 — Great idea to improve vocabulary

*2019-07-25*

I liked the app and the idea within keep going '!

### 5/5 — いいですねぇ。

*2019-05-31*

いい辞書アプリ。
Yahoo！辞書サービスが2019/5/31で終わったからただの邪魔になってるけど。

### 2/5 — Definition space to small

*2018-03-15*

I like the app except that the definition space is way to small.
If I add in 2-3 paragraphs to really define a word then I have to scroll up and down in the very limited definition area (notes).
The from the web area however is huge.

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2015-09-17*

I think this app is really useful, I use it to add words that I learn in my foreign language classes so that I have a database specifically of words I've learned and that may be harder to define using online dictionaries or something like that. However, the fact that there is no kind of cloud storage for the database is a huge downfall, because when I bought a new phone, I had nothing. Also, the fact that if you upgrade to the plus edition, your dictionary doesn't transfer with it. I would like to upgrade so that I could have more tags, but I don't want to have to rebuild my dictionary for the second time. Also, I feel like the app could really use more features for a price of 4 dollars... It would be great if there were some kind of flash card feature, so that I didn't have to have separate apps for searching words and studying them.

### 5/5 — なかなか良いです。

*2015-04-08*

なかなか良いです。

### 4/5 — Good, but could be better with just a little more

*2013-11-10*

I see a lot of potential in this app, however, it would benefit from being able to add pictures in the notes section.  That way, my students could have a visual to go along with their words.  
   Also, the full version seems a little high in price for the basic setup it has.  This would need to be enhanced (i.e. pictures) to begin justifying the price.

### 4/5 — great app for language learning, couple quirks

*2013-10-09*

It would be so nice if I could add new tag categories.  I have the paid version, and I'm sure I should be able to do that, but it doesn't let me.  
Also, It would be great if Notes section could grow to accommodate more text.

### 4/5 — very nice but one more thing

*2013-09-09*

The length of "NOTE" height is too short.
I wish the height can be showed as much as paragraphs are there and use the entire app scroll bar, not just "NOTE" section scroll.

### 3/5 — 欲しかった形のアプリです。

*2013-04-25*

探していたとおりのアプリでした！
すごく嬉しいです。

でもWeb検索のところ、とても邪魔です…。
メモのところをたくさん書いているので、Web検索のところが邪魔で見にくいです。

…というかWeb検索なんて自分でできますから！そこがなければ素晴らしいです。

あともう少しシンプルにしてほしいです！
「タグ」とか、「メモ」とかいう表示、いりません！

このアプリが理想どおりだったからこそ、もっと改善してパーフェクトなアプリになってほしいです。
よろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — copy and paste

*2013-03-25*

pretty good app. 
needs work on side bar with pressing a letter and going to words. Also needs work on copying and pasting to send definitions to email.
