Apps crashing

Iโ€™ve now had two of your Apps English / American English both have crashed.
Iโ€™m looking to you folk to get me back to using this without crashing ALL THE โ€ฆโ€ฆ. TIME. Letโ€™s hope you can help in this matter ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป โ€ฆ.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME

Use it daily

Despite iOS now having a built-in dictionary, this is still my go-to dictionary. I find it extremely useful especially when the word Iโ€™m looking up is not already on the screen (i.e. when Iโ€™m reading a book).

Request to developer: Please highlight (or add an option to highlight) the last entered word when the app is closed and opened again, so it gets deleted when we start typing a new word. It would be an extremely rare occurrence to want to modify a previously looked up word, yet I have to delete it manually every time I open the app to look up a word. This is especially an issue on larger phones where the x button to delete word at once is all the way at the top of the screen, which means it cannot easily be reached when you hold the phone with one hand.

Need some work

Ejaculation: this is the second definition of ejaculation in your WordWebUS dictionary and it reads:
โ€œThe discharge of semen in malesโ€.

It could read:
1. (Males discharge of semen
2. the discharge of semen by males
3. discharging of semen by males of the Species.
โ€”-It should be rewritten because like me there are other males that donโ€™t discharge our/their semen in other males.

That is the reason why Elohim made males and females of the species, for the two of them, male and female to come together to make (discharge of semen and the semen reaches the egg and a miracle take place)more of their kind(species)!!!

The best dictionary app ever

Iโ€™ve been using variations of this developerโ€™s dictionary apps for many years, even in the pre-iPhone days when it was only available as a n old-school PC appโ€ฆ Itโ€™s the best dictionary app Iโ€™ve ever found. The interface is simple and intuitive but also very powerful. The way all of the words are interlinked is terrific, as is the appโ€™s ability to cross-reference other dictionary apps and online sources (including the option to add custom reference look-up sources).

The audio-pronunciation options and definitions are also solid, the dictionary database itself has a ton of words, and the app conveniently keeps a (clearable) log of all the words youโ€™ve looked up.

I recommend purchasing the paid version of this app (although the free version is great too) along with the other dictionary apps the developer has worked on (for even closer cross-reference integration) if any of those are still available (Chambers and Oxford dictionaries and thesauruses were among the previous options) if you have much need for looking up words at all, as this developer is the longtime maestro of creating easy to use, uncluttered, fast-performing dictionary apps.
