    This is a “must have” app in every phone. It is straight to the point with a clear layout.
  • Won’t help with spelling

    If you don’t spell the word exactly correctly it won’t help you find it!

  • Widget needs to be fixed

    By megsixpak
    I’ve used this app for many years and have always loved the word of the day feature, and the widget was my favorite part especially compared to other dictionary apps. However it started glitching last year with the content not filling the widget and showing an empty border; it happened on and off for a while and has been permanently broken for months now. I’ve submitted customer service requests about this to no avail, and with the barrage of phishing ads that come up over other second, it’s clear that user experience is not a priority. My brand loyalty is not easily swayed, but I’ve finally had to accept that I need to try a different app. PLEASE just fix the widget- it’s truly insane that this issue hasn’t been addressed, I can’t be the only one.
  • I don’t understand why this has five stars

    If you need a dictionary get a better app or better… an actual book! Because you don’t need to pay $5.99 a year to find the definition of a word and there’s no adds!
  • App is always freezing

    By Margarita Ellender
    Hello! I love this app so much, and I use it everyday. Like I use this app religiously. But I am so frustrated and disappointed that I just want to cry because it always freezes and lags. This actually happened on my iPad when I logged in my account there and it woouldn’t work but I just didn’t make a big deal out of it so, I didn’t do anything. And now, I never thought I would be experiencing this problem on my phone becsuse when that was happening on the iPad, the app on my phone was working just fine. I think it got updated like last month, and then that started happening but after a while it was working perfectly. I also emailed and try contacting for help. And then now, I got logged out so I logged in again and it’s not budging! It’s freezes, it lags, IT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING! And I know it is not my phone that is the problem. All I’m asking is please please fix this. This app is my everything, I visit and spend time with this app. And I don’t want to stop that especially that I have a lot of saved words over there. So, please I’m begging you fix this.
  • Good etymology

    The linguistic origins and histories of words are included with definitions (as they should be in a good dictionary). Very clear and interesting. Spend an afternoon reading your dictionary! The app is attractively designed and easy to use. Paid version is worth it.

    By yourloverslover
    I love learning a new word everyday with the widget. You can add it by going to the Home Screen on your Iphone, scrolling all the way to the left to the widget section, and adding the dictionary word of the day feature with the + button. Love this app! -Allen
