Fair App, But Not Great.. The basic app is far better than the upgrade. The upgrade is an entirely different version of Dictionary and won't even allow you to use it in landscape mode. You're stuck in portrait mode and the upgrades are not worth the price. I went back to using the basic app after deleting the upgrade. Even the basic app is inconsistent, sometimes providing pseudonyms or rhymes and sometimes not, and not all definitions are accurate. Additional Note: If you want to know just how bad this app is, look up the word 'gender'. Apparently the author of this app doesn't actually know that gender means, 1. male 2. female. How stupid is that?

Annoying after paid upgrade. Even though I paid the upgrade, I still get ads to remove ads by purchasing. Although these are not traditional ads, I already paid, so the ads to upgrade should also be removed. Very annoying.

Great for a logophile ;D. This app does what I need it to do and it has a clear interface. I'm a grad student and sometimes I just need a basic definition to contextualize a larger text I'm reading. Dassit. I don't know why folx are writing long reviews. Kinda bizarre in my book tbh.

Etymology Still Missing. This has been a GREAT App. It Used to have the Origins & History of words, but in the last update that content was removed (for no reason I know of). The online version still has it. I’ll wait a month more, then I’ll have to move on. If you just wanna know how to Spell something, this app still works, but it is a pale shadow of its former self. Hoping the data can be restored (how hard can that be? It used to be there, it’s Still in the online version). Please put it back in.

Confusing. When I searched empathize because I did not know what it meant. Then I went to empathy because I didn’t know what it meant(side note and sentence did not help) and it gave me very confusing words, I am pretty sure that the words used to define empathy were even harder to understand than empathy. I AM JUST A PRE-TEEN SO DON’T EXPECT ME TO KNOW ALL OF THESE CRAZY WORDS. SIMPLIFY THEM, IT IS NOT THAT HARD!!! I AM LOOKING FOR THE DEFINITION TO LEARN, NOT FOR HOMEWORK!!!

Do not purchase. I was unable to reload the program after purchasing all of the options since I got a new iPad. I have tried to contact the programmers to no avail. If you happen to need to reload this program you will lose the options that you paid for.

Its a really great dictionary. If you’re on your iPhone or read your iPad holding it portrait. The problem for me is that it won’t rotate to landscape. Personally I read books using landscape rotation on my iPad. I researched how to get it to rotate with no success. I also wrote to the company, explained the situation and asked if there was a way to to get it to rotate. Its a hassle to have to turn it especially if you’re reading historical novels. I did receive a Kind response asking me what the issue is. I explained again and then correspondence ended. I use it once in a while.

It’s a great app but... the ads.. I use this app a lot when I do school work and when I don’t know a word I go here and look it up. The only thing I don’t like about it is the ads. When I’m trying to find a definition of a word I see this weird ad and I get distracted. I know you have to pay to remove ads but it should be free to everyone. Although it’s a great though. :)

SCAMMERS. I bought the full version with no ads in 2017. Then the purchase disappeared. I didn’t feel like fussing over $6, so I bought it again a year later. Now I open the app and I can’t restore purchases. I have both of my receipts and a screen recording of the restore purchase feature not working and the help center button being a prop. The “help center” button in settings is literally just a picture that does nothing when you click on it. How can Apple let these kinds of apps through to the App Store??? How does this have 4.4 stars? Do people not give the app any real usage before reviewing??

Pronouncing. I love your app it has helped tremendously in learning how to pronounce words correctly;However;I have two problem 1-the pronounce link on my iPhone does not work most of the time and 2-their is no pronouncing link on the App on my IPAD please help correct this issue Thank you

Incredibly helpful with my kid's high school homework. It's true. I don't know the difference between the different rhetorical devices. I can't tell a chiasmus from one of those "a" things I can't pronounce. And that's why you need a dictionary. Now, if only this dictionary had all those rhetorical device words....

WOW!. Even reading the write up about the app, you still do not get a full understanding of everything this app can do; you will just love it and use it ALL THE TIME! I love how simple and quick it is yet you can get anything you want.

Core functionality works but UX is atrocious. How do you make a dictionary app, have every word on screen be a live link to the definition of that word, and then leave out any sort of ‘Back’ functionality?? Can I tell you how many times I’ve looked up a word, then tried to scroll down the definition only to accidentally hit the word “the” or “an” and have the app leave my page to show me the definition of “the”—and then not let me go back to my original word? How about EVERY SINGLE TIME I USE THIS APP. Also desperately needs to support split-screen view. How many use cases do you think there are where a user would want to have this app open alongside another app they were working on? Probably the vast majority. Does this app show you definitions of words and include a thesaurus? Yes it does and so for that it gets more than 1-star. But the experience of actually using this app is miserable.

Why the hell I see ads even when I had upgaded. The app itself is good and has worked fine until recently. I purchased the upgraded version in Nov 2017 and just now suddenly realized I just have a basic account, where I not only have to bear with annoying adds, I also don’t get to use additional features. If this is not solved, I will report it to Apple Play as I purchased it through them

The app is good but. The app functions properly, but they rarely ever update the app; so it doesn’t have lot of the basic new iOS features, feels like they didn’t update it for a really long time; like it doesn’t even have a dark mode or something, in the night, if you were reading something…

Paid for upgrade still seeing ads. And why is there no back button? I’m having o retype search entries to go back. Very inefficient. I love the app and will change my rating to five stars if these issues are addressed. Especially the ads issue.

A brave little dictionary!. So said because it faces up boldly and well against many other, better known word books that are tedious and impractical. This one has a nice, broad sense of inclusion about its words. It offers simple, yet accurate explanations that provide a simple sense of the word and not an interpretation. After all, this is a wonderful technology gizmo that fetches all this stuff out of thin air and puts it with a nice booklike tactility on a little screen right in your face in a few moments. Five huzzas!

When you can laugh at yourself, I know you’re good.. Very good dictionary, easy to use, and the pronunciation help is much appreciated. And I don’t know why ppl are complaining about paying for this app. I haven’t paid. The ads are easily ignored, and what’s to complain about if it’s free? Thank you for such a nice app.

Great. Delighted to have this app. Had it updated on previous iPad but not going to pay again so doing without. Not all the programs or apps seem to recognize that this dictionary exists on my iPad, which is a shame for it is absolutely wonderful to hover over or tap on a word and get the definition. It is a great boon toward the education of all people, which most do not recognize nor understand.

Spelled correct words. Some times when I type some words for my school work it will correct them and does not say the normal word

Cool Word of the Day notification feature - but it crashes every single time. This app has a cool feature that gives you a daily notification with a “word of the day.” Tapping the notification launches the app and takes you to the word’s definition. But it crashes every single time you open the app this way. Every. Single. Time. Every. Day. You can then open the app again and click the word on the main screen to see the definition. But tapping the notification causes the app to launch and crash - every - single - time.

Incredibly convenient for someone who likes to write!. Necessary, as far as I'm concerned! I love this app! I like to double-check sometime that I'm using a word with a meaning that's indicative to what I want to convey. It is, in fact, most often why I use it!

Persistent & Intrusive Popups. I absolutely used to love this app, and its synonyms feature is an incredible utility. Lately though, the app has become completely unusable due to the popup ads— they are 30 seconds long and they appear so often that I'm spending more time waiting for them to finish than I am spending 10-15 seconds looking for one or two synonyms in a typical usage.

Very Important. I don't really use the app much but I know it's a really good and popular app. However there is something really bothering me and is the reason why I don't use the app much. Like the app has push notifications but I don't know why because I haven't gotten a notification from the app and who knows how long. And notifications don't even pop up on the app let alone getting push notifications of the word of the day. That's another thing, I want to or give us the options of getting push notifications of word of the day. Please make these changes so I can be an active user of this app and not someone who has an app on a phone but never uses it.

Word of the day. I love this dictionary, with one glaring exception.. I’m a word person, and love the a challenge to my vocabulary. I am requesting that the word of the day be neither obsolete nor recently invented. Both varieties are interesting but this isn’t the place for them.

Love the app. I love this app, I have it on my phone and on my iPad, I use it all the time when I need to get a pronunciation or meaning of a word, so if I love this app why did I give it three stars?, the reason is this it doesn’t have split view where you can’t put another app beside it, it would be great if you can come come up with that in your next updates, because I’m a Ministier and sometimes I need to look up a word, that is in my bible app, I sometimes have to click off this, and pull up this app sometimes that gets annoying, if you do the multitasking and lock update then I will give it five stars.

Please, **fix** the "Siri and Search" functionality. (I would give it a zero if I could -- happy to revise it once you fix this functionality) The "Siri and Search" functionality has been broken for ever. It is hard to understand why the developers have not fixed this already, especially given how expensive this app is once all modules are purchased. The user should not have to open your app to search for a word when I can search for a word in a global search (at which point Apple's built-in dictionary kicks in rendering your app obsolete). Your competition, "Terminology Dictionary", does this flawlessly so it is technically possible. Hopefully, you can fix it too.

They’re selling something that’s not there. If you want “Word Origin,” look elsewhere. I bought the first version of this dictionary, with every upgrade, and it included “Word origin.” They removed “Word origin.” I bought the Pro version for iPad, because the pictures show that “Word Origin” is included, but it isn’t even in the app. The add lies, it says I’m getting something that isn’t there.

Improved. This app has made it much easier to find words and definitions when my spelling abilities are lacking. I often look for words without knowing the correct spelling and in the past have had to give up on. It is much easier and quicker now to look for variations of possible ways to spell words that I am seeking the definitions to. I end up using this app more frequently now.

Best Thesaurus!. I have a couple of different dictionary apps, but this is my go-to when I am blog writing and looking for better word choices - best thesaurus EVER! My writing sparkles with variety and awesome alliteration, thanks to this handy app!

This little App makes me Smile Everyday!. You know how people will write in Journals at the end of the day at least one thing they are grateful for ? This App has made me laugh, smile and spread some funny news across to other people throughout my day for years now. I love to learn and sharing things randomly such as words and knowledge like this adds spice to life! I may not be the most beautiful lady but I am interesting and humorous . Sometimes that is enough !

Hello, Could you please fix this. I paid $2.99 and purchased an upgraded version. But there are still ads and no upgrade. Could you help me

Pulled from the ashes..... I was giving up on this app, even though I had purchased all the extensions and the add free version. It took forever to load, and I saw no evidence of any update for an extended period. Thankfully, with iOS 11, it was updated and is now better than ever. I depend on this app, and use it daily. Very useful and valuable.

Audio Not Working. I love the app, but the audio for pronunciation has stopped working. I have iOS 12.3.1, but it may have stopped working with earlier iOS updates. I have deleted and reinstalled the app, to no avail.

Landscape view for iPad? Please‽. I’m looking for an improved dictionary app for my iPad, and downloaded this app, as it was featured by the App Store as an iPad dictionary, however it is only usable in portrait view. This small limit of function, unfortunately, makes the whole app useless to me on my iPad, which i use with a laptop case attachment at my desk, so rotating to landscape is really inconvenient when I’m back & forth between apps working. Let me know if the app is updated and improved for ipad usage and i may just come back for all the other features offered in the app.

Word searchers on website version are nonexistent in the app. Words such as gravely doesn’t appear in the thesaurus and only has a description of some naval officer as the definition and the word fatally doesn’t appear in the thesaurus. If the reason for this is because I have to buy a pack or something, then what’s the point of the app when I can just use the website lol?

Giving God Thanks in all things!. Really enjoy using and having this app on my mobile. So convenient. Imagine having to carry a dictionary in book form instead of your phone to look up words. Thank God for advancement.

Why do i have to pat twice. I have purchased the complete package of the app on my phone. Although I don’t need it necessary but as a support to this app, because i liked it, but Now i have to pay again to have it on my ipad¿ why haven’t include it on that package at least... iam waiting for response please.

It started off great.... But the more I started to use it, the more the app would black out and log me off. I’ve tried deleting the app and downloading it again, that didn’t work. I tried resetting my device a couple of times and that didn’t work either. I don’t know why it stopped working for me all of a sudden.

Everything After Z. Interesting addition to basic dictionary, but, PLEASE add paragraphs to these articles. They are extremely hard to read as one huge paragraph. A dictionary app should definitely be constructed in a way to make reading simpler not off-putting to lessen the chance they would be read. They are a really good addition if you can slog through reading them.

Ads? Really?. I cannot comprehend why there are ads on a dictionary, much less why they occur so frequently. Definitely a good app when I can actually use it, but seeing as I had to watch a 5-30 second every time I wanted to look up a new word or use the thesaurus, it became very inconvenient and I just used a browser instead.

Needs split screen mode. One of the things I love about the iPad is the multitasking functionality and the ability to do split screen mode with so many apps, being able to have an app for whatever reference I might be needing sitting alongside my main app. It would be really lovely to have my dictionary (the OG reference tool) just be able to saddle up next to what ever I am reading or writing, with out having to switch screens. Without that, I might as well just make a safari shortcut and keep the website beside what I’m doing. And this one feature on an app “for iPad” is worth losing two stars.

Very Helpful. I use this app when I do homework because I don’t have a dictionary at home. My teacher introduced me to this app this and have always used since then well except in school because I do have a dictionary at school.

Accounts?. It would be perfect for me if they had some sort of login account so I don’t have to worry about losing my Favorite Words list if something goes wrong or the app is accidentally deleted. If they fixed this I would definitely give this app 5 stars.

Combine saved words, iCloud. If the iPhone and iPad apps are not going to be universal, can they at least use a common saved list among them in iCloud? It’s ridiculous that words I’ve saved on one device aren’t available on the other.

Great Help. I use the dictionary for sending messages and checking the definitions of words in the current book I am reading. I appreciate the dictionary being able to assume what word I might want based on my spelling.

Dumb games pop-up?. Here's a beautiful app, sophisticated and useful, and up pops a ridiculous pink horses game offer covering the screen. Really? I've used your app for a long, long time. Why did you resort to cheap tactics like that to support your app? SO out of character (as if that needs to be said). Not pleased. If necessary, I may be shopping for a new app.

Dictionary app. I love words. What is better than having the dictionary at your fingertips. Hmm. Only thing better I kindle or I books giving the definition if you hover over the word

Why change it. The correct pronunciation of every word is very important when an individual is trying to expand their vocabulary, small variations sometimes completely change the way a word is pronounced, and interpreted. I was looking for a simple dictionary with pronunciation when I downloaded this app, sometimes more isn’t better, and better isn’t more, most of the time things are just fine the way they are, this app was just that.

Used to be a good app. I can see that I have add-on purchases. It says “purchased.” But when I attempt to restore those purchases, it says I have none. The app used to have other very fine features, which have dwindled over the years. Given all the options, I think I’m done with this one. Increasingly poor user experience.

It’s good but.... The app always crashes when I use the microphone. Please think of updating the app so I can use the microphone.

Edit: Thank you for updating to 64 bit for ios11. Love the app. Great that the developers updated it. Back to 5 stars.

Good app. Could be free but all is well

Great. The app is really good cus I just started a job and there r a lot of words I don't know great guys

Good app. Really good app if you are stuck on thing so it’s is a real good app. It’s like a real dictionary inside a devise :)

Awesome Dictionary App. I love the memes and funny things on this awesome app. And it helps with my homework to. Thx -Scyfish

Too many "upgrade" ads despite buying no-ads. I bought the no-ads in-app purchase, but the app still contains buttons that only leads you to in-app purchases. For example, below each definition are some options such as seeing example sentences, but those buttons serve no purpose at all except to lead you to purchase that add-on. Furthermore, for each definition, there's an "upgrade" tab continuously visible on the top. For this reason, I prefer using free online dictionaries that provides all the paid features for free.

Good. I really enjoy it. Is amazing

You need premium for everything. I hate this

Waste of money. Load of nonsense

Geat. It is an excellent dictionary for English learner, but it needs to upgrade its function. I would like to give five stars if it available split-screen mode. Moreover, "Learners" and "Grammar" taps need to update more extend contents for English learner.

Amazing. This is the best app for children two learn at school

I love It!. This apps really useful as a dictionary and a thesaurus. Could you guys please update it so we can continue to use it in the future. Thanks for updating it, it's truly a great app

Unable to access purchased upgrades. I purchased all the upgrades some time ago and now I cannot access them. Disappointed!

Ads. I hate it when ads keep popping up and I am in a rush.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I download this app, because I did not like it I decided to uninstall the app. The thing is that it comes back, it downloads itself.

Disappointed. Already paid now after upgrade have pay again, what a ripoff.

I would recommend!. I would recommend this, 100%. The only problem is some words aren’t in the dictionary, and some don’t have synonyms/antonyms, even when I can make some up (yes, I could have just gone with the one I made, no big deal, but that’s not the point!). Overall, great app! Edit: One other thing I’d like to add would be that you cannot split-screen the app, but as that is not a major issue I don’t really mind.

Dictionary. Soo useful

Yazmin is great and awesome. You ads so mean not on Dictionary but the ones that gave you the rude finger emoji

Upgrades. I love the word of the day and love the app but one thing. I bought an upgrade and it’s not working for me. It says it’s purchased but is not showing up with what I bought. Then I tried to reset upgrades and that didn’t work as well. I hope someone helps me so i can reset my purchase or the thing I purchased can show up.

Good. Yeah I use it quite a lot

Version 7.2.6. Having received the update of version 7.2.6 my Dictionary it no longer works. I tap on the App, it looks like it is loading but the screen returns to my home screen - no Dictionary - disappointing

Update doesn't work. Please fix

Help. Please update the update! I updated on 14 June and have not been able to open since! It crashes every time I attempt to open! Poor form

Not as user friendly as it could be ?. This app is great but come on i need to be able to spilt screen it on my iPad Pro or its going. I will download this again when you’ve added the ability to multitask

Dictionary. The app has crashed after the latest update. After several attempts of contacts it's still not fix. Frustrating as I paid for the premium. I hope there will be another update to fix it.

Used to be better. So it used to let me search whatever but now it won't let m express search with whatever I would like to know or understand. If it could change it would be a lifesaver. My friends also have the same problem.

Ugh.... It doesn’t let me delete words I search up or I don’t know how to it’s annoying

Very glitchy. Glitches way too much, and you have to pay to get words in a sentence? Education should be free for everyone!

Ad. This app is great but there’s too many adds

Not even English. Change the title to English

Ads and yearly sub. A video ad while looking up a word?! No way am I using this app again. Recommend the other red and white dictionary app.

Ok... It’s a bit laggy and it shows me the same addddds ! Pls .... I cant afford the premium or whatever its called . It helps me as a student to learn words . I wish the microphone worked better

WOAH. Mate, ‘Dictionary’ is an absolute lifesaver. If ever I get stuck on what a word means, I just grab my phone, and go onto dictionary. It’s especially good for whenever I’m at uni, because I’ve just started and I don’t necessarily know what some words mean.

Word of the Day. I downloaded this app to improve my vocabulary, therefore, I sought the Word of the Day feature on Dictionary. However, this tool had shut down and left me disappointed. Please fix this feature.

Inappropriate app. This app is good for searching but the adds are unacceptable for children I use this app for school. And it comes up with bad adds using swear words and comes up with too many adds as well.

It’s the best. Thanks for this app it help me so much!

This app is lovely. Oh I love this app!It gives every word you want!

Confusing in-app ad-free unlock.. Thought I had bought the upgrade. Took my money. But ads still appeared. Ended up having to go to pro version and pay for that version. Just confusing. In the off-line world purchases seem a little more straight forward. If you buy it, you see it. Online with ads has the annoying lack of allure of ads that might not go away if the program has a glitch. Anyway the pro version is good. Just wanted to know what I was going to get before buying, which was why I got this free version first. The free version has a glitch in the upgrade function, from my own experience.

Upgrades. I really think this application should have free upgrades and should have more in the learners section.

Antonyms. Maybe you should add Antonyms so that people can find not just synonyms but antonyms as well.

Confusing. not what i expected. i thought this was an app of a dictonary, but where’s the dictionary !? it’s just old paragraphs of facts idk how to read

iPhone v iPad updates. I can’t believe I paid for the full upgrade on iPhone and it doesn’t work on iPad- bad business!

Amazing. This is the most excellent dictionary ever!

I love the dictionary. It helps me to find out the words in the dictionary

Doh!. Update, I find this to be the best all round dictionary across multiple platforms. Perfect for my needs.

Nouns. You need at least one synonym for every single noun

Too many ads!. The number of ads is crazy. Students get bombarded with opportunities to buy stuff while they are studying. Really poor form.

Yas!. Yeah

I paid for the full app. yea I paid for the full app. And now I can't even open it ..... Someone help please

Excellent. Excellent application. Very reliable.

Passes Info to Facebook?. I delete the app - it appears that words I looked up using the app were appearing as interests in my Facebook preferences.

Good app, but.... This app is good, but they charge you for Voice word finder!? Plus it gives you sort of incorrect words. Other than that it's good!

Don. Many legitimate English words are not listed

Excellent.. I hope you get an update soon!

Excellent resource. The go-to source for modern English, easy to use and comprehensive.

Good app, but.... How can you charge people for voice searches? After I had used this feature a few times, it told me that I needed to purchase more voice searches! Please stop charging me! Then I can rate this five stars!

Needs Split screen. I only really need to look things up in split screen

You are being watched. I removed this app from my devices after learning that it captures personal information including location and phone ID. The information is not only used by the developer, but is provided to quite a few third parties as well. Too bad - the app is capable - but if the publishers feel it's ethical to take and share basic information from me without warning, what else will they begin to take as they update the app?

Dictionary. The dictionary program freezes up my iPad since the new update was installed. Please fix!

No Reason To Use Any Other App. Very convenient, very user-friendly, and very comprehensive.

Bad. The interface seems ok, but the massive ad's were to much. Deleted it straight away and reinstalled the old version from my computer. Beware if your thinking of updating!

Simply great !. Clear, concise, uncluttered layout and easiest App to use. If you do not understand what I just said, this App can define it in less than a minute. Seriously.

This dictionary hates women. I had used this dictionary for a long time, but this morning I saw their social media post with a crossed out female/Venus symbol clearly designed to inspire misogyny/hatred of women. The supposed intended purpose for their post was to shame “TERFS”, women who stand for the rights of female people. If this dictionary had any integrity, they would know that “TERF” is a slur used against women in order to excuse violent rhetoric such as death and rape threats and disguise their misogyny as “progressive”. Not only do I NOT want my dictionary to cater to taking sides on any political issues at all, I don't want my dictionary to contribute to violence against women.

Crashes on startup. While this app has been very helpful, this version (June 2018) crashes when I try to start it. It was great while it lasted.

Bought the iPhone app and now have to pay for iPad version. What a ripoff

New version a step backward. The new version is a mess. The obtrusive ads are one thing, but navigation is also a pain. Drag ever-so-slightly diagonally as you scroll up and you are taken to the previous word. Maddening. I've happily used this app for ages, but am now looking for an alternative.

An absolute essential. Pronounciations are easy and spot on.

Update the damn app already. Every time I open this app, I'm served with a notice that it's outdated. And hasn't been updated since 2014. Update the app already.

Just a billboard. Slow and clunky and full of ads. By the time it let's you type, you'll forget which word you were searching for.

Great help. This is the most wonderful help I ever needed. Thank you so much!

Update. I like the app before the new update. The app is too cultured with adds. After I look up a word I don't want to have to look at adds and have so much going on.

These clowns wanna get political. These guys use Twitter to make virtue signalling political comments.

No more ads please! Trop de pub!. Je ne tolère plus cette pub dérangeante et imposée. Appstore offre un grand choix de dictionnaires. Pas besoin de supporter ça. J'ai supprimé cet app. Too much ads. I deleted it. We have plenty of choices on the AppStore for dictionaries. Don't have to tolerate this.

Erratic and problematic. I’ve downloaded this app a number of times because It stopped working as you used more.

why?. Was a very useful app. Now just annoying, give this one a pass. I cannot remember if this was a paid app or free. Will now look for a new dictionary.

Not good. To developers....I'll pay 2 bucks to loose the ridiculous ads (I mean come on really?) and another buck for the voice search. And change the layout back to something more akin to the previous version while your at it. For now it's delete and resync back to the earlier version and wait to see what you do next before I update. (Great another badge in my app store window I won't be updating)

I am so in trouble!. I automatically updated this app and now have the obnoxious advertising. Yuck! Not what we are used to and not what we will ever recommend. It's a trick! Turn back! turn back!

Don't!!!. What the blurb for the update does not say is that this 'improvement' takes a formerly clean app and peppers it with very obtrusive advertisements. Believe me, you want to pass on this one.

Dictionary. Great, instant and no need for a big heavy book. And I am usually on my iPad when I need it, so handy too!

Excellent. Love this app.. 😊😊

Update. I think you have to do something with this latest update because it won’t download. All my other updates went through. Your update just stalls. Please see what you can do. I love this app.

Update improved this app. The most recent update improved the app. The ads haven't moved but no pop up ads. I still miss the old copy of the app it was so simple. Also I have raised my app star rating to 3 stars.

😍. Love this app! Refer to it frequently as I'm always searching for the right word😀

It crashes every time. Since last release, this app crashes every single time I launch it on my iPad. It is highly disappointing. Please fix this issue.

Split Screen. Please allow this app to be able to be used in split screen mode on the iPad, I believe this will make things a lot better for not only me but many other users as well

Excellent but..... It would be nice to highlight a word in other apps and it would be great to have a new option to lookup the word here. For example - Cut, Copy, Paste, Replace..., Lookup. Talk to Apple.

The Best but also The Worst. In my opinion, this is likely the most useful Dictionary/Thesaurus app available on the App Store. But infuriatingly, the free offering has audible pop-ups which cannot be skipped. So jarring and classless. You really are better off foregoing this app by Dictionary.com, and instead looking up definitions or synonyms in a web browser. Also still does not support the 2018 iPad Pro 11” resolution, nor split-screen functionality. Why would anyone ever consider an in-app purchase? The money clearly won’t be spent on development or improving the app.

Not yet compatible with latest iOS. Dictionary does not work well on an iPad, slows down the operating system and isn't scaled right to the screen. Dictionary always trying to upswell new features, options and services. Needs a new update

Word derivation lost in upgraded product!. This is a very fine app. BUT...the earlier app included the history or derivation of each word. This set it way above any other English dictionary app. Without the word derivation the dictionary moves away from superior to other dictionaries to just above average.

Split-screen please. Please make this app split-screen compatible for the iPad, it would serve as much more accessible when typing essays.

Wha?. The latest version is crashing. I can't get the word of the day.

Dictionary for iPad. I find it excellent to use when playing scrabble...

Ads. The ads keep poping up. The old version is better.

The nagware remains!. I upgraded to the “pro” version on my Iphone version of this app, in part to avoid the pop-up ads, but also to support the developer in what is otherwise a competent app. I assumed, as is the case with every other app I’ve purchased or upgraded, that I’d also get the “pro” version on my Ipad. Not so! You have to buy the “pro” version twice, if you’re an Iphone and Ipad user. Is there a thesaurus entry for “dirty pool”?

Wonderful Help!. It's easy to use, and it really helps out when writing important things.

The best dictionary I've found so far.. Really find this dictionary helpful. Easy to use. Especially like being able to speak my word. Hope they continue to maintain the app.

Dictionary. Enlightened program with a range of words their meanings and associations.

Too many ads!. With all those ads, it feels like tabloid not a dictionary app.

👉 Are you looking for an Adsense alternative advertising platform?

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Used often only to disappoint. Paid for 9 different app upgrades .. clicking around. It takes 20 random words to get an encyclopedic reference. Total shait. I use this app when I am writing and it disappoints full stop.

Wish I could see definitions but. Only ads. Your better off going online version less ads. Ads are pop ups with a timer? I’m trying to read and a very loud colorful ad pop up for a time waster game is not helping my productivity...

Should be rolled into the iPhone app as Universal. This app is bad. It’s buggy, infrequently-updated, and lacks features of the iPhone app. The iPhone app is great. In-app purchases don’t sync between the two. Why are there two apps?

Dig it. Love the Dictionary app. Use it all the time especially when reading books with medical terminology. Great help in building & expanding one’s vocabulary.

Great at Defining....but Annoying—Music Interruptions Must Go. The free app is perfect for finding spellings and definitions, but when selected, it interrupts iPad audio streaming by either abruptly turning off the streaming or by blasting nearly incoherent advertisements. This is so disruptive and unpleasant that I avoid using the app.

Everyday, Most Useful app!. Plain and simple, Dictionary is A go-to, must have app. I don't work for this company, by the way- and they didn't pay me to say this! :)

Now broken. Unfortunately the app will no longer launch properly since the early June 2018 version.

Was a great app. When I first got the app, it worked great. But the last upgrade the Voice Search is now going ever thro the write up said if you buy this app it's there. Also I sent two emails asking about with NO reply.

Knowledge at a fingertip!. Easy to use and never a problem!

Delete this app: it has joined the Political Wars. This app had marginal use before—far easier to just search for words in a browser—but I kept it around. Deleting it now, as it used its twitter account to make overtly biased statements in politics. Obvious bias==unreliable reference. Bye!

Ads and more ads. Takes forever to load because it’s pulling down ads and other useless bloat like ‘word of the day’. As a dictionary I was not impressed.

Where Are The Word-Origins?. The latest update doesn’t have word-origins in the sidebar. Just ads. Do you have to pay for those now, or is it just a weird mistake?

Quick, reliable resource. Use this app weekly.

Invaluable resource. This app is easy to use and an invaluable resource for someone who needs a definition quickly.

Sweet. Great dictionary with readable type. Word of the day graphics have visuals related to the word to help encode the new info. Smart.

Love it. I'm a word nerd so I'm using this app all the time. What's another word for ______? How did that word originate? What does that word actually mean? All these answers (and more!) are found in this app!

Horrific advertisement videos. Here I am looking up a word and I’m interrupted by a loud, horrifically annoying video ad that runs for 5 seconds and I have to quit out. Then I immediately delete the app. Why doesn’t Apple include a stock dictionary for iOS like they do for MacOS?

No etymology. Who ever heard of a dictionary without etymology? The app used to have a word origin feature, but the developers removed it. Of course, you don't get your money back, either.

Good App but annoying pop ups. It’s a good dictionary app but then why are there pop ups asking to upgrade to premium. And it has the audacity to ask for money from students who are already in debt.

First thing in the morning. Excellent way to start a day. Learn a new word, test your vocabulary.

Life saver. This app is a life saver honestly i would have a very minimal vocabulary w/out it

How do I use this app?. I use this every day I love this app it gives me so many features I do I use it every day good job!

Word searchers on website version are nonexistent in the app. Words such as gravely doesn’t appear in the thesaurus and only has a description of some naval officer as the definition and the word fatally doesn’t appear in the thesaurus. If the reason for this is because I have to buy a pack or something, then what’s the point of the app when I can just use the website lol?

Use it all the time.. Great app. Most often use.

Works great on iPad. I have been using this application for years on my iPad. It works well and has all the words that I look up.

Best dictionary ever. This is the most complete dictionary I have come across plus it has many other features. I love it!

Great app. Still using the one with ads but it still meets my needs and then some. One of the best apps of the App Store.

An important tool for composing. I find the dictionary important and useful in my writing, particularly its concise but correct definitions.

MISSING WORDS. I tried to look up the word ouroboros to check the spelling and the word isn’t even in there at all. I don’t know if it’s behind a paywall and kept hidden, but the developers should be ashamed if this is the kind of cashgrab scam they’ve got going on.

iPad, iPhone, Have to pay in app twice. It’s a shame to have to pay twice for every single in App purchase when you have an iPhone and iPad... I’m not in!! This is called being greedy.. Will next step be the scandalous subscription model? I will be out!!

Frequent User. I don’t trust my spelling at all so I use the app a lot. I haven’t tried other dictionary apps to compare but I think this one is very good and a lot of help to me.

The pronunciation button does not work on iPad. I can’t believe the developers let such a basic mistake go through. There is no sound when you use the “speaker” icon however the sound is totally fine in the stupid ads

My go to!. I’ve used this app every time I want a definition or a clearer understanding of a word. There are so many things to explore besides just definitions.

Crashing on iPad. Works great on my phone for me, but I can only search one word on my iPad. When I change tabs or try to search something else it crashes. UPDATE: submitted response to developer. No update and is still crashing.

Dark mode?. I really love this app. I have been using it for both my iPad and iPhone for a long time now. Any chance for a dark mode (or am I blind and can’t find the setting?)

No slide out or split screen support. This would be 10 times more useful as a sidebar-type reference app to use alongside Word, Pages, etc.

Extremely Valuable App!. So far, I have found every word I’ve ever needed to look up. Very practical way to show the definitions, too.

Dictionary. It’s gives me everything I want in a dictionary, in a word, Fantastic!

Really dumb. This app didn’t even help it got all my words wrong and I hated to write it all over again and I have to look up the up the words and I have to right so many words in my notebook in my Class again!

Photojournalist. This App is an essential tool that I use when I’m writing, or reading a book.

Excellent. I love Dictionary app. It is easy to operate and quick results. I like the voice for pronunciation.

What a joke. This is a money grabbing app that bombards you with ads. Then they nickel and dime you for every tiny feature. To get a non-crippled version of this dictionary will cost you $30. There’s also no guarantee that they won’t adopt a subscription model in the future....so be careful what you pay them.

Super. Have several other, but this is truly extraordinary.

DON’T PAY — you won’t get what you paid for. I paid for the “Power Pack” version, which is supposed to include the Rhyming dictionary — you get nothing when you switch to that tab. You have to be connected to the Internet for anything to appear there. Why pay for this? ... I can get this in a browser for free!

Strong support in playing words with friends. I've relied on this app to help find and spell words for many games. Thank you!

Advertisements need moved. When I click on one of the facts under the word a day, advertisements pop up and block the reading. You cannot get out of the ad to read. They need moved to the side. If ads were moved, I would give a five star rating.

Wish I had spit screen. I use this all the time when writing my essays, and I like being able to have the thesaurus right next to the essay when I write and I’m not able to do this with this app :(.

Could you add or fix favorites!. Sometimes I hear a word I want to write down so I don’t forget it, would be nice if you could save words better in this app for future reference

Great app. Use it often...very handy if I’m curious about almost any word

Great, but crashes. The app is great. I like how you can swap between dictionary and thesaurus. Sometimes, the app crashes tho.
