The Best!. Suggestion: need a copy button to copy the correct spelling of a word so I can paste it in my email or wherever For example, I dictated the word “Hallelujah “ because I did not know how to spell it. It immediately came up with the correct spelling, however I was not able to copy the spelling in order to paste it where desired. Please give us a copy button. Thank you. Love it! Always has my needed answer. I upgraded--well worth it. Efficient. Thorough. Superior app. So handy. Easy to use! Handy dependable.

So Appreciated!. I so appreciate the features of this dictionary, it's huge vocabulary of new words, Latin maxims, and words and phrases from medicine and law. I also appreciate being able to hear the correct pronunciation of every word. This app comes in handy so often I placed it in a cluster called Reference which I put in the fixed row at the bottom so my fav search / reference tools are readily available from any screen. This app is so appreciated I which you could license it to Apple to make it standard equipment on every iPhone.

Always there as a great tool for the Lifelong Learner. Beyond the passive, standardized ‘spellcheck’ apps’, ~ that can be as misleading as your ordinary ‘GPS’ is, while driving the backroads ~ this Dictionary application is great. As an avid writer and poet , it’s been an indispensable tool since I first downloaded it. The thesaurus is very handy as well, as are myriad other tools included in this particular digital Dictionary!!! I use it regularly and it was free, (-and I’m really grateful. ) “ ***** “5 ~ star’s, easily.....!!!.

Last update broke it! Fix. FWB, 2020: Do people never test out their updates on actual devices. Can’t understand it. There is a message about privacy or something but the screen is frozen and can’t go past this. Infuriating. I hate being annoyed by constant reminders to upgrade especially after I have already paid for the application. One reminder is more than enough!

Good and not so good. As a normal (not linguistics or writer or anything serious) but everyday user of this app, I like that it has pretty much every word I look up. I also like their packages like rhyme dictionary, etc. What I don’t like is how sluggish it is. When I’m busy I just need to look up a word really quick and move on. But sometimes it takes forever to load—I’m guessing because it wants to load the other app features like the word of the day. I think there should be an option to not load that stuff and get to the core business of looking up a word. One feature suggestion is maybe including word relationship (not sure what this is called), but I’m talking about parent words and child words. “Language” would be a parent or grandparent of “word”, conceptually. I hope this make sense. Once again, I’m not a linguist or anything like that. :)

Good definitions, often terrible examples. I cannot give this app five stars because the examples often seem to have been picked randomly by some algorithm with no understanding of the context. For example, when I looked up “meme” today the example given was in French, and the only relationship with the definition given was the occurrence of the four letters MEME. Needless to say, that four-letter word in French has a completely different meaning. This is an extreme example, but English instances are quite common.

Good but not Exceptional. I have always loved the origin of words. I always liked my dictionary nearby to look up meanings while reading. Since I purchased my first iPhone, I downloaded “Dictionary” on the recommendation of a magazine article, and like a lot of your reviewers, the dictionary and thesaurus did not disappoint. However, like many of your reviewers, I find that the examples of partisan politics in many of your articles disturbing. Those of us who enjoy using your app are bright enough to understand that arguments and examples from both sides of the “aisle” can be brought to bear in many of your otherwise informative articles. Bringing politics into a subject where it has no specific role is cheap, gratuitous, and beneath the purveyors of such a wonderful app.

Was better before so many modifications with updates the past 2 years. This dictionary app was selected because of Oxfords reputation with their printed book dictionary. I have used an Oxford dictionary for over 50 years. They include the origin of most words below the definitions. I find origins interesting. So it was with this app until early 2019. Now along with the word of the day are several other "features". Apparently these are for people with time on their hands. That said I did enjoy the feature to make 10 words with 8 letters. However, many words were not acceptable in this challenge but were included in the dictionary part of this app. Where is the logic in that? I'll be looking for another dictionary app for my phone that contains JUST a dictionary and word origins.

Dictionary application. Dictionary application is user-friendly and it provides multiples of services. The design of the app is also user-friendly. I enjoy using the app at least 20 to 30 times a day either for looking up the definitions of words, for exploring how the word is use in sentence and looking at the thesaurus. I would recommend anyone to use this application whether it be for school or for personal use.

I love this app, but. . .. I would gladly give this 5 stars, however, after having to sign in every time and finding it almost impossible to restore my purchased status, it’s so difficult to access to my saved word lists and the practice modes that I became accustomed to. The ads are very disruptive. This app is well worth the premium, when it works. I would even consider paying an annual subscription, but the experience has become really tiresome over the past couple of weeks. I sent the developer a problem email regarding this issue, but have never received a reply or any assistance.

What's in a word?. Another problem cropped up. Now the App keeps telling me no network connection, yet when I check the connection in WiFi it shows I have an excellent connection! This only happens in this app, which I use all the time! Update: I am not happy with this latest Ext update!!! Why do I know how to go back to switch a button so I can view the thesaurus? The whole app was much easier to use before. Why change what users are happy with?! My first review: Use this paid version on my iPhone & iPad all the time. Most complete dictionary & thesaurus out there. No glitches. Can hear proper pronunciations. Luv this and word of the day and slideshows! FYI I have the Pro version. I’ve disliked the changes made, I think a couple years ago, including the new logo. The pre updated look and app were much more user friendly and had zero glitches! Ever since then I’ve had problems

Good with some annoying issues. I really want to give it a 5 star but there are problems prevent me from giving a satisfied review. The dictionary itself is great but the app is terrible. It got frozen and crash every now and then. I can never download offline dictionary, it gives an error message every time I tried saying there is an error when communicating with server. I emailed the support team but never got response. Fix the problem! The problem is solved I got offline dictionary now.

Destroys with recent updates. I have gone months without updating this app, and finally got around to it tonight. What have they done??? The latest version is a disaster. It is gaudy, cluttered, and designed for people with hummingbird attention spans (to be fair, that is most people nowadays). The old version was fantastic. You could easily toggle between thesaurus and dictionary, and pull the information you need without needless flashy graphics and distractions. I used it constantly as a writer. If there were any way I could get the old clean, clear, straightforward version back I would happily pay a premium to do so.

Longtime User and Great Lover of App. I’m always curious. I really like this app because it just feeds my curiosity. With the exception of the other daily use apps, like Safari/Google, time clock, and calendar, this is my most used app. I love having verbal pronunciation because I’m not always right with the phonetic written pronunciation. As another reviewer stated, I really appreciate this app because before I used to keep notes on words to look up later that I had come across in writing or audio that I didn’t really know the definition of. But by the time I’d great to looking up the word on the net, I’d likely forget the provenance of the word’s usage. Most of the time I have an idiomatic or casual knowledge about the word but I like to know truly what is the definition. Along the way I’ve been very surprised to find that the definition is completely different than what I’ve thought. In fact recently I discovered that there is a word I often hear used and have used it as well but completely incorrectly. Long time ago Dictionary integrated the Thesaurus which is excellent since I also always like to see the synonyms and antonyms of the word I’m looking up to not only solidify the definition but also to expand my vocabulary. I would recommend this app to any wordsmith like me.

Still learning. I had a fabulous English teacher in high school who introduced me to the love of learning new words, their origins and use. It wasn't always fun at the time because I was a kid. Still, the year long have to turned into a lifetime of want to. This website is just awesome. I love everything about it and enjoy the quizzes too. I love being able to hear a new word or look up a word using the microphone when I'm uncertain about the spelling. I'm old but still learning. 👍👍❤️

Doesn’t function independent of the internet. Hello, Your dictionary is generally very helpful, but only when used under the umbrella of the internet. I’m certain I have a paid version, and it was my understanding that it would also function as a stand-alone app, not dependent upon the internet. I am frequently working at remote locations, and am unable to use it in those situations. As I recall, I “downloaded” the dictionary in the past, but to no avail. When the internet is available, I can throw any word I want out there for spelling and definition just by doing a random internet search. However, I’d like something that is readily available when the internet is not. I don’t mind upgrading or paying extra for such a feature, but I abhor the idea of needing a quick confirmation of (what is typically) a simple word or idiom only to be told an internet connection is required. Please advise.

New version less useful. Had the pro version of this app for years. I loved it because with the offline dictionary I could use it for finding the proper spellings of words when there was no wifi or cell service. Unfortunately now the offline dictionary doesn't give suggestions as you type unless you have wifi or cell data, just get the annoying message saying “Oops something went wrong! Please try again in a moment.” With wifi or cell I can just use google. Don’t care what it looks like, just wish they would fix this issue! 1/20/‘21: Looks like my suggested word issue has been resolved. Thanks! I bumped it to 4 stars. It works, that’s good enough for me. BTY please don’t change the iPad version.

UPDATE — Love it, no BUT about it …. I’ve loved this app for a long time now. I use it dozens of times each day. I’d give it 5 stars in a heartbeat BUT for the new popup that wants to “personalize” my experience and track me across apps. I get if you ask me once. But I shouldn’t have to repeat myself every third time I go on each day. Learn to take no for an answer, please! I’m ready to delete the app and find an alternative. The developer responded to my review. Apparently, Apple now requires developers to share these notifications when there are ads in the app. I wasn’t aware of that. I’d still love it if the repetition could lessen. Perhaps even just once — if that’s in the apps jurisdiction.

Tired of politically correct & liberal agenda. I agree w/ the about the ads being ridiculously pc & always pushing the liberal agenda. The truth is no longer spoken or taught & democracy is out the door. These articles are so skewed to the left it is sickening. Unfortunately, in this new far left era there is no room for thought, consideration, or fairness for all. The rhetoric, like our rights & lives, are no longer equal. Equality should be for all people, all voices & all opinions. This should be seen in the information, entertainment, media, & on line venues as well. The new left equality is only for the left & truth, honesty, & fairness are being ‘left’ out. Try equality, the founders of this country found it to be worth fighting for as we all should.

What if???. This app is amazing and I use it all the time. It provides so much more than a regular dictionary. Now, the question is what if??? I recently began learning Spanish and my question is what if they were to make it possible where the word (in 2nd language of choice, such as if you were learning Spanish) can be presented with the word you were looking up and if selected be pronounced??? This could be a huge breakthrough if this were to happen and there could be a small fee paid for this monthly or yearly for being an additional service. It would only make this app so much better and far more popular!!! I hope they read this.

Old UI was better. I hadn’t updated this app in over a year because of the bad reviews. I liked it the way it was and the icon was more pleasing. Somehow the app got updated on its own today automatically after I changed some settings, and good lord! The dictionary still works fine but the thesaurus gives me headaches. It’s all flashy and colorful. Why the change? This is a reference app not a gaming app. Simple and clean like a regular dictionary makes it easier to read. Now I gatta look through all the circled words trying not to get distracted. Kind of annoying. Wish I could downgrade just the thesaurus.

Used for many years. Update: The software glitch has been fixed and I am able to use app. Pleased that developer took time to email an updated version was available. Paid for upgraded version and have been using since 2012 and have always loved until today. Cannot use due to pop up saying “We need your support” to allow tracking ads.

Little Accessibility/Disability Accommodation. The accessibility for this app for people who have low vision is remarkably bad. For an app that requires reading, the text options must be fixed. For example, if the text size reflects that of the iOS user, the thesaurus words all become unreadable and only show maybe 1 letter each. Similarly, the definition word will reflect the iOS settings and be enlarged (which is pointless because I already know the word I’m searching…); however, the text in parts of the app that actually require reading (i.e., the definitions, learners, examples, etc.) do not enlarge…I am further confused because the non-pro version of this app you are able to pinch zoom to read (great!), yet the pro version does not allow this feature?? So, if I want to be able to pinch zoom to read better, I have to use the non-pro version and re-purchase the upgrades, which I have already purchased with the pro version. The failure of the developers to fix these issues is borderline discriminatory. It is a simple fix that is well overdue.

Really helpful app. I have to look up words I see or read that I’m not familiar with. It drives me crazy to not know what something means. I have a long list of words to look up and learn which at the time I heard them, I didn’t have time to stop and look up. I like that I can have the words in question voiced to me also. That’s a big help. And it keeps me from embarrassing myself by pronouncing words incorrectly. I rarely pay for a lot of apps that charge you to get rid of the ad’s, but this one was worth it. It’s very easy to navigate when you’re in the app. I just love having a Dictionary in hand whenever I need one. There isn’t a downside to having this.

WordMan. Paid for an add on, then another. Next a fourth and fifth sold as a package with one I already paid for. Discussed with them. No intelligent response like I was speaking Liechtensteinian if they have. It’s like $2 for one $6 for two and $18 for. No understanding that they’re charging their best customers the must. Also, I bought their idiom dictionary and put in a dozen idioms. Their response to my frustration was to send me one idiom with a tone of “here’s one.” At that point, I realized I lost about $20 and was puzzled as to how they wrote a fairly simplified dictionary .(wondered what their source” was because it was realized a valuable lesson for $20. The dictionary was six dollars and and the remain $14 was worthy at that price for more caution and within a year of my story Apple as lots of choices of dictionary seemingly at no cost I guess it’ll have a fee or ads as that seems to be the Apple wsy. I Have NO criticism of Apple and every (I guess usually) they are the King or Queen or both of one of the best soft and hardware tech firm companies if you’re retired. I’m a technology actuary and except for word processing/graphs I like to be the boss and run a PC instead of Apple running me. This is too long and will be more susinct.

Organize Favorites?. So far I really like this app! But to take this to the next level I recommend having a way to organize favorites somehow. When learning vocabulary it has been proven that we learn more effectively by organizing words by ‘meaning’. Why not allow users to custom make a folder or place holder? Additionally syncing to iCloud in this respect would be ideal. Developers please take note and consider this tweak for your paid supporters. Would be worth 10 stars if they could add this feature... I hope I don’t get asked again during my session(s) to rate your app, especially since I denied notifications at the root level.

Better than the others. This app is definitly the easiest to use. Being able to switch quickly from dictionary to thesaurus and being able to quickly jump from one entry to another from the lists makes it seamless to look up a few words very quickly. great for writers, english langauge learners, or rememerbing that word that was on the tip of your tongue! no phone is complete without it!

audio no longer works since last update. since your last update, the audio no longer works on iphone XS Max, when trying to use pronunciation feature. i’ve been waiting for a new update to correct this feature for several weeks. i have now started looking at other apps that have this feature. up until now, i have used your app for many years without any problems that i can remember. however, this is a very important feature and used very frequently, now rendering the app useless to me fifty percent of the time. please take note. Not so fast there “wrongpants”. Your audio is STILL NOT fixed completely... it does appear to be working on iphone when manual ringer is turned on, however, not when turned to vibrate, such as my phone has always been set to for many years. So whatever you have altered is still not being picked up by your brain trust, which means you are still unaware. These little details are big deals to phone owners who have their phones set up in specific ways. Anyway, this little irritation is so unnecessary. Why fix things when they are not broken? Why post updates when you don’t test basic features? One unnecessary improvement shouldn’t negate basic features. Good luck with all that, there are plenty of clueless app providers out there so your not alone.

Enjoying to use and comprehensive. I love using this app. This app is not a one trick pony and does it all in a user-friendly environment. To further improve the usability of the app, I think all sections (e.g. definitions, thesaurus, learners) which are divided by tabs can be put together on one swipeable “General” tab. In that case, you don’t have to press 12 tabs one by one for a thorough investigation of a term considering the fact that many of them are irrelevant or without entry. Tabs can remain there as anchors for faster access to a specific part of the General tab.

So handy to use. As an avid reader I encounter words whose meaning escapes me on a daily basis. Although I am not glued to it like some, My iPhone is always handy. (I still like reading “old fashioned” books!) I use this app almost as much as the HP calculator app and its so convenient not to have the physical dictionary and calculator on a table wherever I am reading. My phone is always in my pocket. My only wish is that the contents were downloadable so when out of range of the internet it was still usable. My phone has oodles of unused memory so that should not be an issue.

Absolutely a great aid. I use the app with all options since I am an avid reader, and if if I don't understand a word, I can't get the full benefit of what I'm trying to understand!!! Wish I had such a great resource when involved in my high school and college days instead of having to find a book dictionary! Great app!!!! The options thesaurus, encyclopedia, etc. are a great help for "deeper learning". And so convenient!

Outstanding resource, well designed. Even the most erudite writer will occasionally need to verify spelling, or confirm the meaning of words or phrases. The Dictionary app is as close to perfection as you can get. It has a gargantuan number of words. The synonyms are a life saver when your memory has drawn a blank. It won't teach you grammar or polish your shoes, but it will keep you out of trouble at least 99 percent of the time. Do you know a better way to spend a few bucks? I don't.

Good But Needs Badges!. My home screen shows all alert info including "Dictionary" word of the day. However my first impulse when I log into my iPhone is to clear all badges then review their associated information. Because there are no Alert badges with dictionary it is often missed and subsequently forgotten. Now my go to dictionary for those words you “think you know the meanings of but just want to be certain”. For example: Are we experiencing inflation or conflation? We’ll both are true do to the myriad of reasons given for why the inflation is occurring in the first place!

Network Manager. Good product. It works great for looking up definitions, which is the primary purpose of any dictionary. This app promises an additional feature, Word of the Day, to help improve your vocabulary and educate. Every time I try to look at the word of the day, I'm presented with the word from the past (apparently the last time I looked at it). Refreshing it to the current date is extremely difficult and often not worth the time and effort. There is room for improvement here.

Fix. dictionary pro is my go to source if I’m looking at learning a new word/phrase.. it’s been excellent so far until the recent update. After updating, all the features that comes with it vanished into thin air.. can’t tell if it’s a glitch or it was intentional on the part of the developers.. I can’t find the idioms, example, learners encyclopedia and all the other functions that it came with.. would be glad if this could be fixed in the next update.

Dictionary Offers Historical Context. Dictionary offers linguistically, historical context in word origin for words you are looking up. While this can simply be just a fun little tidbit of information, often times I find it provides better clarity in how I’m conveying my own ideas. In other words, sometimes, when I see how a word originated in meaning & perhaps historically changed over time, I’ll look up other words to see if they offer better, more direct clarity for concepts & ideas I wish to covey.

Constant crashing is the biggest flaw... but not the only flaw. Both this and the free version constantly crash. Like others, I found the advertisements incredibly frustrating and vastly excessive, but as a writer, I decided to invest in the pro version. What I discovered was an app that should be better, but is plagued by numerous flaws. The crashing occurs often and is obviously frustrating. So much so, I started referring to my Alexa for word information instead. I have also experienced the app stating I need an internet connection when I’m clearly connected and with all other applications working on my device. The voice recognition for looking up words is also inferior, and results in so many inaccuracies, it cannot be trusted to be useful. Lastly, I tried to download the offline version via the app settings multiple time unsuccessfully. I wanted this app to be great, especially after paying for the pro version and utilizing the website, but it’s just not at this chapter in its existence. I will be looking to see how similar app’s perform.

Improve use & enjoyment of language, with this perfect blend of conciseness & thoroughness. I use this app all the time, and it’s right at the top of my list of favs (surpassed perhaps only by Blue Letter Bible’s app). I have always loved words, and a mentor once gave me a sage admonition never to use a word I couldn’t define. He insisted it was arrogant. I’ve found his challenge has helped me be more precise in my thinking, humble in my attitude, and appreciative of others’ wordsmithing skills. And it makes learning from others more fun. Well, this program just facilitates all these. In the world of language, it allows for real-time, “point of care” use and learning. I’ve looked up things while in hospital meetings (I’m a physician), while waiting in line, writing emails or other documents, and writing reviews for iPhone apps. I love the etymology tool, as it helps make definitions and nuances easier for me to remember, and the words themselves more vivid & enriching. I suggested the app to my son recently, as I’ve found that regardless of what kind of work we do, communication that shows attention to word usage (as well as grammar) captures people’s attention — and rightly so. If you want to improve your use, understanding and enjoyment of language, I think you’ll find this program very valuable. Strongly recommended!

Valuable tool for people labeled as learning disabled. I am 64 years old and process dominantly with my long term memory and very little with short term memory. As such spelling for me has always been an issue that frequently leaves, friends, family, and work positions I interact confused, requiring them to confront if I am “learning disabled”. The use of this app with the voice activation provides those of us sidelined by others, who require “social normality” a more comfortable way to interact - it’s greatly appreciated. In my professional occupation I am an Architect and Builder of Custom Projects, with my spelling people will categorize people like myself as incompetent, artistic, or genius. Using your app. I am provided the opportunity of being perceived as “Normal” when and if I choose to be seen as “Normal” and not seen an individual. Thank you. Mark

Is it possible to just ‘flip through the dictionary’?. It seems to be impossible to just flip through and find words. I open the app and only get access to “The Word of the Day” not exactly the only reason one needs to access a dictionary. The settings don’t seem to work either. My faulty memory seems to recall a better app than what I’ve seen over the past few months.

Should stick to definitions not opinion. I have really enjoyed this app for the most part. I share the word of the day with a friend almost every morning and we really like it. She is an avid crossword player. What I find unacceptable is that the extra articles tend to lean on the trendy politically correct or just downright liberal end of the spectrum. Since I'm not one of the millennials it seems to target, I actually know a bit of historical context for many of these articles and it's not as they portray them. It's not "balanced" or objective. I would like to see these little tidbits of interest be just informative not simply opinionated, trendy and vapid. If your going to include these at all do a better job. Or maybe include one of those disclaimers that says this is just an opinion.

Incredible tool. I've been writing and teaching writing for more than 50 years and regret that this powerhouse was not available sooner. This is not just a dictionary, it's a plunge into the heart of the language. I was delighted when it was just a dictionary but the add-ons make it much more useful. I seldom use the add-ons, but when I do, I find them incredibly useful. I am anxious to support these developers in their work. These latest improvements make it even more intuitive. I can get lost in the app like others playing Halo. Thanks for keeping the language fascinating and inviting.

One touch definition and reverse button wished. This app has saved much time in conversation over the years. Adding a feature which enables ... 1) touching a word 2) proceeding to ask whether or not to open a new window(screen) for that diction 3) once opening that diction, offering an option to return to original screen via reverse button on top left ... Would help greatly. Keep doing the daily word.

Great app but disappointed. I payed for this app and use it often, love it! Although I can’t give a 5 star rating because I was very disappointed when I opened it on my ipad it wanted me to PAY AGAIN! I have many paid apps that the full version works on both iphone and iPad WITHOUT AN EXTRA “DOUBLE” CHARGE! I just cant justify this greed. I paid a LOT for the FULL VERSION of this app and would expect to be able to use it on either of MY devices.

Tweaking idea for great app.. I find this app heads and shoulders over most dictionary apps, however, I’d like to see some major updates and improvements in the area of utility beyond the conventional word-search mode. For instance, it’d come in very handy if words saved by the user under favorites could pop up every once in a while - along with their definitions - at a user defined frequency. This will keep that section dynamic instead of “dead in the drawer” awaiting exploration via a very cumbersome scrolling process. I do so hope someone in the development team is listening. Thanks.

I love my dictionary. I use my dictionary every day when I read a book, or a magazine, or newspaper. I love the fact that my dictionary is always at my fingertips whenever I need it. I wish they had electronic dictionaries when I was growing up, because it would’ve made it so much easier to learn new words. I have had my dictionary now for about five years and I will still love it since the day I bought it. If you love learning new words, I recommend that you get an (app) electronic dictionary on your cell phone. You will love it!

New logo better without pro label. Four updates later pro label was finally removed. Thanks. On another note, app looked classier in the past, there was no need to adopt the “cheap Urban Dictionary” look. Maybe update that as well? Duuudes, why?? I know I have the pro version, no need to remind me every time I look at my Home Screen, plus, it makes the app look like the cheap or free ones... at least add the option to turn it off. Two updates later, label is still there. Horrible. Moving app to a folder where I don’t have to look at your UGLY pro label every day...

ADs?!😵😱🤯. I’ve used this dictionary app for years and found it to be useful and enjoyable. Unfortunately, I began seeing advertisements several times whenever I read an article, took a quiz, or viewed the words of the day. I thought I mistakenly downloaded the free version, as this is a new iPhone, but it was indeed the Pro version. I deleted the app and I’m purchasing it again- believe me, the app is worth the onetime small fee- and if I continue to see advertisements, I’ll contact customer service.

Has my approval. I’ve been using this app since I can remember having my first iPhone. (2010) I mostly use the thesaurus. It use to be to write my college term papers, as a teacher my students were required to have it, as a mom with a brilliant minded child w Autism it is used to provide a tangible/visible way for him to understand when one word can have two different meanings. I enjoy learning a new word a day. I love that feature. This app also allows you hear how words are pronounced. This feature is incredibly helpful for people who may have learning disabilities, learning a new language - for me it helps because reading aloud is not my strongest attribute.

Used to be my favorite app. This is the perfect example of ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’. What was once my very favorite app, and used for all my writing, is now INCREDIBLY confusing with their latest update!!! I understand they’re trying to compartmentalize the results to your word, but all they’ve done is make it confusing by taking the thesaurus results out of alphabetical order and organizing them into colored boxes and groups based on relevance. They’ve taken something simple and made it unnecessarily complicated. If there is a setting that switches from ‘relevance’ to ‘alphabetical’ please let me know. I will return with full stars!!!

Simple and informative. Helps my vocabulary immensely. When you can’t find the right word but you know a similar, simpler one? This app does the trick. Simply enter them word you CAN remember and hit Thesaurus. I’ve used it countless times. Well worth purchasing the full app.

It’s a dictionary. Does the job. UI is fine.

pronounce doesn’t work. hit the pronounce button and no sound comes out.

Room for improvement. Hey guys; When you look under the search engine of the Dictionary app, you will see several menus to choose from such as: pronunciation, show you IPA, Favourite & more, also just below these menus, you also have Definition, Treacherous, Learners, Origins, Examples, Grammas, Encyclopaedia, Idioms and many other menus, unfortunately, there’s none for Imageries or videos. I think it’s necessary to include these information! Perhaps you can also include short videos relating to the definition of the word! I would have given you 5 stars if the above mentioned were included! Kind Regards, Chuck

Good, aside from the accent.. Would expect there to be an RP option for pronunciation to alleviate that irritating rhotic R the Americans insist upon.

Great app, use it often. Works well and stays on my home screen because I use it all the time. I love all the features and extra dictionaries and thesaurus.

Very Usefull. Easy to use, spell correct and great explanation of the history of a word.

Access. Love it! Accessing via my iPad when reading text is an essential tool!

Great app.. Great app I have it on both devices. It helps me with spelling n meanings. Then teaches me some new words n fun games.

Annoying. I used to like this app but after recent updates it has become incredibly annoying to use. I scroll down to read the definitions of a word and the top part of the page suddenly expands to hide half the information. Sure I scroll up again and the information fills the screen again, but you can't just scroll up, you have to scroll down to read what's there. So you're forced to read in a tiny gap where you can only see a few lines of text at once. Please do away with this ridiculous animation effect and restore usability. Thank you. Added Dec 2018: Updated to latest version but horrible UI hasn't been fixed. App obviously not meant to be used on older iPhones. Problem #2: the stories and articles are in the smallest possible font, and in light grey. I literally cannot read them. Zooming in makes the type bigger but also makes the lines too long for the screen so I have to continually pan left & right. This app is just too annoying with no consideration given to a pleasant user experience. I give up, looking for another dictionary.

Wonderful dictionary with room for improvement. Would be great if you could export favourite word definitions to a file to be able to print/save a copy.

In a word, useful.. Great for quick reference and very user-friendly. Am loving the easy-flick between dictionary & thesaurus component. Am now word genius amongst friends and pretty sure high school English teacher would be impressed by array of language and terminology in personal journal, which now reads more like Earnest Hemingway novel rather than grade 2 'what I did today' worksheet. Have had to self-enforce official 'Dictionary app ban' when attempting crosswords as found that appeal of puzzle solving capabilities through app's extensive range of words (AKA using app to cheat because it's awesome), begins to override sheer enjoyment of deciphering puzzle. (Also defeats initial good intentions of attempting crossword in order to increase brain power and ward off Alzheimer's.) Basically, Dictionary app is great. Get it.

Mr. Now slower with internet

Works again on iPhone. Update: issue described below appears to be fixed now. Very useful app. —— The search is bugged making the app useless. Input a word in the search field, it appears in the list. Click on the word in the list to view the definition and it brings up an entirely different word. No way around it.

WOTD isn’t updating. Love the app, but WOTD hasn’t updated for nearly a fortnight now.

Not good. Used to be good. But after this latest update the app is just about useless. Simple words suddenly have no thesaurus entries. App takes ages to load.

Gold. A versatile and comprehensive resource! Satisfies my word fetish perfectly : )

Dictionary. Great app I use it frequently, very handy!

Was good until update. Somehow it fails to find words regularly. Really annoying!

Good but glitchy. Enjoy the app, my microphone spelling requests don’t work , it freezes then I have to restart the app! Annoying!

Why?????. iPhone 6s. It does not slide upright enough to see from history and below. Do I do something wrong. Was never a problem before.

Smiley56. Love this app. Very helpful and easy to use.

Awesome. Can't live without it

Doctor. Best app on my smartphone. Great information with etymology. Only if once you find a favourite word, you didn’t, once reading its meaning, you didn’t end back at the start and search the same words. Infinite source of information on word meanings and importantly their origins. Word of the day, l never miss it. I only wish l had this appetite for knowledge when younger. Love the app. Grizzly Bear. I still enjoy and value the app. But, my word of the day doesn’t refresh every day and takes up to a week to catch up. I need to turn my phone on and off to refresh. I have to go to my emails to retrieve word of the day. And now I can’t do W O T D quiz on email. Still use the app frequently though l love it otherwise.

Headley. What has happened to the ‘Origin’ source in the dictionary. For many of us, etymology is the most interesting and informative material.

Great. Great convenience

Alternate View. I love this App and have used it for years. The only frustration with it is that it doesn’t work in landscape. If you are creating a document or email and need to look up a word, you have to detach the keyboard and rotate the iPad. It would be wonderful to have the app auto-rotate like most other Apps. I would be happy to pay for it too.

Great tool!. It is always very helpful and reliable.

Better than other well known publishers. Bought this after much frustration with the Oxford concise dictionary and thesaurus. This app does the job much better and left me wishing I’d purchased it in the first instance.

Best dictionary created for. I highly recommend this app to everyone and anyone who is looking for a "good" dictionary. Features of this dictionary has got me captivated, if it can't get in the first 5 minutes you've really lost me but this particular app has it all: translator, it pronounces the words, examples of how it can be used and it's all there when you search a word! Also, it's got a variety of things to look at which is interesting. I say it's better than a dictionary you buy in store!! I'm doing nursing, so I search a lot of medical terms and this dictionary has catered for it; it has upgrades which is suitable for many. Everyday this app has a word of the day, my challenge is to try and use it once throughout my day. It is efficient and it's there if you are ever stuck.

Doesn't work offline (anymore)?. After a good while tried to use while offline, with "Offline Dictionary" downloaded and turned on, and... no worky. Spins a wheel, then tells me to connect. :(

The best app I’ve ever known.. It’s the best. It’s educational. It’s fun to use and user friendly. However, I’d of loved to see it synchronise with a computer (so have an account on it). I would of loved it to have some export capabilities so one could export words saved to another platform. Thanks

Can’t download offline dictionary. Can’t seem to download the off-line dictionary. Have tried a number of times over a few days and have uninstalled the app as well. Nothing seems to be working. Otherwise the app works perfectly fine.

Fabulous. I am content knowing that I got my moneys worth purchasing the full edition. Offline use and the learners edition are convenient features of this application as they allow you to expand your vocabulary anytime and anywhere. Highly recommended for purchase of the full edition.

Life saver. Hey creators of this app. This app is great thanks for making it. I’m in a season of lots of study which involves lots writing. Why only four stars? Well because after updating it the full version so I loose the ads which is great the app no longer expands into a full page on my IPad which I use A LOT and also does not turn with the screen - if I need to type. This may be due to the app getting made for IPhones only. But if you makes these subtle changes I will rate again with 5 STARS and be forever grateful. Thanks

The loading times are long. Regardless if you have the offline version

,,,,,,. Why can’t you get voice recognition then it would recognise the word no matter how bad you English grammar is

Slow.. This app is so slow getting its info from who knows where I often to re-enter my password despite being on broadband. I’m looking for a faster dictionary. I need to re-enter my password because nothing happens for so long while awaiting the app’s response my iPhone thinks I’m finished. I just tried getting a definition for the word “retriever”. It took about 16 seconds. That’s clearly unsatisfactory. ============== Yes, I am updating my review: I have ceased to use this app altogether and have deleted it from my device.

Do NOT buy! Buy anything else.. I purchased this app after using the free version for years. Within moments I found it extremely slow on the new iPad Pro, it requires 2x zoom to fill the screen and it takes 3 to 5 touches for the app to pronounce the words. It is very frustrating. I do not recommend.

Brilliant. Brilliant app, I love this app

Audible. I love the fact it pronounces the word. Now, not only can I spell the word, find it’s meaning, check similar words but I know that when I use the word, I am using correct pronunciation. Love it!

Pro version. Daily synonyms and daily words not working on iPhone 8plus iOS up to date. I also have iPad Pro 6th gen 12” iOS up to date - daily synonyms not working. When purchasing it said app works on this iPad and app works on this iPhone. But that’s not the case - app doesn’t work as it should.

Sans Portrait. Does not show in portrait on iPad, hence cannor use keyboard.

Reliable and easy to use!. Rarely lets me down for even the most arcane word. Love the WOTD, definitions, synonyms and particularly the origins of the word which can be so helpful!

Massive bug. I’m typing in a word in the search bar to get the definition. In this case I type “hyperbole”. I press on the word and I’m taken to the definition of “present”. I try again—same process, same word—I’m taken to another completely different word. Pretty sure this isn’t how a dictionary is meant to work! 🤔

Good. Happy with the app.

Fantabulous!!. The app is fit for purpose. I am just loving it to use. Pronunciations can be made country specific i.e. US, UK, AUS, IND etc.

Nice to have. But, few words still missing eg: ‘eejit’. Now a days I am not getting audio pronunciation.

From Great to Mediocre. When I first downloaded this app one was able to copy / paste everything from this app to any document. Now sadly, after umpteen revisions, this feature is foolishly unavailable - hence I've stopped using. There many more dictionary / thesaurus options now, I wish I hadn't purchased this.

Too many mistakes. Use English spelling and pronunciation as provided by referring to the English Oxford Dictionary ! This would pay respect to international users so as the basis of this language is understood. G.B.

Crashes, doesn’t load.. This used to be a good app, I’ve had it for 6 years. Since then it has only gotten more and more buggy, also lots of words that most definitely exist do not show up and cannot be found. The widget is broken often and must be reloaded a few times to eventually work. Sometimes some words come up and are explained in a biased tone (unfortunately I don’t have examples at the time of this review) but comparing the definition to a google search definition demonstrates it well. This “dictionary” seems to have a it’s own political agenda with a religious and misogynistic carve to it. Just saying maybe I’m wrong

The One. This is the one. Was displeased that paid for the no-ads upgrade on iPad, and iPod/iPhone is a different version where the purchase doesn’t carry over. Found there were two different ones that work here - one with ads you can’t get rid of, and this one that has no ads. Perfect. Thus, this is the one. 😎

Illogical and difficult as they miss the main reason anyone's would want a dictionary app.. I will be switching apps. If they don't fix the inability to switch between the favourites list I have created and the definition of each word why would anyone bother to stay with this inferior app. We create a favourites list so we can study and review selected words. It's just to much work, vs other similar apps that make it so muchMore efficient to logically switch between a word and its meaning in the favourites list.

Great app. Vocabulary builder?. I use the app often. One thing I could use within the app is a vocabulary builder type function (flash cards come to mind).

Love it, but.... Still cannot get into app since last update, keeps crashing, please fix, thanks.

They remove features. What’s the point in updates if they remove features and don’t bring anything in return? The app had a translator which I enjoyed using. I updated and now it’s gone. Why did I update?

Dictionary. It serves its purpose

What quiz?. I was looking forward trying to the quiz in the new version, but every time I try it, the app kicks me out! So much for that new feature.

Love this app! 👍🏻. I feel more confident when I write or spell something, because I can take my dictionary with me wherever I go. A very handy tool to have at your finger tips!

This should be the #1 dictionary. but its having some issues rn with when you type a word it auto replaces the text with your last searched word. pls fix

Great app. Awesomely awesome fantastic app

Unfailing useful.. When not sure about word context this app helps tremendously. I expect that its’ data is supported by web sources and therefore is contemporary in its results. No faults found on any searches. If this review appears unexciting that’s only because of how well the app works.

Use of the Dictionary app. People say engineers can’t spell. I submit; but I use the Dictionary App very often. And, my Ap is loaded: example sentences, etc. I love it. Now I can spell and write.

Good. Good

Dictionary Review. I like to be certain I choose the right words when I converse with friends - written or verbally. Since I am aging I use the dictionary daily. When reading a book, so easy to check the meaning of a word. The new format works for me.

Effective. This user friendly dictionary is very effective and you go to in any time that you need an assistance with your writing- listening or reading.

Offline mode not working. Why isnt offline mode fixed

Please fix some problems after update. Great app! It had became painfully slow when I decided to check whether there was an update, and I was glad I did. There are some problems after the update though. I can no longer add words to favorites. The star icon beside each word is gone. Also, every time I search for a word, even a simple word like “restaurant”, it jumps to “DID YOU MEAN” after I click search whiling showing “no results found”, when it should just directly show the meaning of the word. Then I have to click “DEFINITION” to get the definition. My final complaint is that the app did not remind me to update, or simply update itself automatically. My app had become painfully slow, and I had to search for “Dictionary.com pro” to see if there was an update, and trust me it was not easy, because it is not among the first few results and I have to scroll all the way down to find it.

Best dictionary out there. Basic or detailed it’s all here. The best words book I’ve seen. When each update gets better, what’s the point at looking further.

I use this for everything. Great app, always provides multiple well-labled definitions and I love the word of the day feature.

Lawyer. First class.

Heavy user. I’ve relied on this app for several years, big fan. A minor but constant annoyance would be that the far right side of the search bar doesn’t “listen” to taps... I am someone who is inclined to use my right thumb, and every time I want to search for a word I end up stabbing hopelessly before remembering that I have to reach or use my left thumb. MINOR flaw, I know.. but just making a note...

Great dictionary. Thank you for the great job you do to create this dictionary and let anyone using it for free!

Great app. Great app. Comes in very handy.

Dictionary. A great reference to combat momentary memory lapses on spelling and definitions.

My Go-To Dictionary.... I can’t fault this app in any way. It’s more than a dictionary: word games/quizzes, videos about things like their “Word of the Year”, also, the Word of the Day (which most of these have, tbh) is actually very educational. Love it!

Etymology of the word has disappeared. I paid for the ad free version of this app years ago and have been happy with it. However the most recent versions no longer provide the etymology (the historical source) of the word. That’s a deal breaker to me... I’m deleting the app and 5 minutes ago purchased OED.

A pronunciation problem.. Love this app however recently the "pronounce" option is not working. Could you fix this as my wife who is a francophone uses it often and I lately for strange name ... how to pronounce: Uyghur for example. Thanks for your attention Christian

Not working after update. I downloaded the paid version a few years ago because it’s an app I use on a daily basis. A week ago I would give it 5 stars. However, after the last update on October 3, 2020. The app crashes when you search a definition. I hope this issue will be fixed quickly at which time I will revise this review accordingly.

Awesome. Great app for clarifying the meaning of words that I don’t know and for alternative words for use instead. I would not use my phone ow iPad without it!

Pamdrew. One of the best apps on my phone

Please Remove the "Pro" Badge. Reasons: 1. It's tacky. It's the only app I have that still does this. It's not 2010 anymore. 2. I purchased the product before the badge was added. I would not have bought it with the badge present; I would have bought the free version & made the paid updates. Now you've changed it to include a badge. This is the second time you've done this in recent years, so please revert it a second time.

A Word Lover's Dream. Unfortunately the new update came with a problem - part of the entire page is cut off on the right side of the screen. Please fix! This is one of my favourite apps, and now I can’t see part of the definition, extremely irksome!

Pretty good. Very useful app indeed

Love it. Love it

Great Dictionary and Thesaurus App. Love using it this for my reference needs! Especially this no Ads version.

Love it. Anytime I hear a new word, and want to know it’s meaning, I have it in a touch!

Dictionary. Best thing I have ever had. Takes few seconds to check word or spelling.

Helps one’s memory. The dictionary helps us in so many ways. Makes memory much sharper, stimulates vocabulary and increases vocabulary. It helps one recall of words.

Widget suggestion. App is great, would be even better if the widget allowed you to enter a word right in the widget, on the home screen, and it would display the definition right there instead of having to go into the app

Nice app. I like using this dictionary app

Swipe to go back and fav words. I love the app. I would recommend two major updates: 1) swipe to go back. I would love it if we could swipe to go our previous page. Right now that arrow at the top left is hard to reach and not very intuitive to the iOS experience. 2) a more organized favourite words list. Perhaps creating a feature to have different folders to group words (legal, buzz words, Latin, Greek, etc)

Not that great. I’ve been using the free version for years but decided to upgrade when I couldn’t find the word kae (a jackdaw or jay). So, it turns out that the first word I entered wasn’t in the dictionary. Also, bident is not in the dictionary. A two-pronged implement like pitchfork. A weapon associated with Hades the ruler of the underworld.

App crashes. It was running good for me for a while but now it crashes only seconds after I open it. It’s really disappointing considering the fact I spent money on this app.

Transformational!. I use it daily!! Love it! It expends my mind!

Need enhance the function of pronunciation. Many words don’t have sound, not very friendly for ESL users

does not have some words that are in other dictionarys. I was playing Scrabble only to discover my opponent found words in other dictionaries that was not in my Dictionary app. Disappointed

My Word. One of the most useful and 'muchly' (my word) appreciated apps I use daily. Kudos! I use the up-dated premium app even more.

They will sell the iPad and iPhone version separately. So greedy!. I paid for the version without ads on my iPhone, now I wanted to download the app for iPad but it turns out I need to pay again. No other developer does that. Never supporting you again.

Poor performance since major update. The performance of this app has been really since last redesign and major update. That’s a same . It used to be a very good app

Was a 5. I received a notification that the developer responded, but I can’t view the response. The latest update seems to have fixed the issues I reported previously, but I haven’t used it enough to determine whether it’s worth more than 3-stars yet, so I’m hesitant to rate it higher. Still, it’s much better than the 1-star it was. Previous comment below: Now whenever I enter a word, the app selects a different word for me. I just searched for a word and the app presented the word fiduciary. Searched again and sardonic appeared even though I selected the word I searched. Previous comment below: Every time I use the thesaurus and scroll through the search results the page resets to the top, making it difficult to continue scrolling through the entries. It’s very annoying.

Clear and clean. I love this app. It’s useful, clear, clean, and easy to use. I would hope they would keep on improving. Plus, they should create a better access than to copy and paste the word each time is too much work. Needs to improve this area.

Most used app on my phone. I love this app. However, for me it's lacking one huge feature. Flash cards for my favorites list!! I'm marking words with favorites so I can review and learn them. Seems like an obvious needed feature!!! I scanned a few reviews and a lot of other people are asking for the flask card feature or something similar. Please, add this feature.

Please fix this glitch!. This is a great app, and I use it all the time. I love it, except for a weird idiosyncrasy in which words that are supposed to be in quotes or parentheses are instead preceded and followed by a strange set of letters and symbols that make no sense and create a lot of confusion. I assumed that this would be cleared up eventually, but it has been going on for well over a year, maybe two. Am I the only user who experiences this?

Word of Day notifications need more!. Great app and provides exactly what I need, when I need it. However, I have signed up to receive the word of the day everyday, but the only thing is when it sends it, the notification that gets pushed through only has the word on it - it needs to include the definition too! I hate having to then open the app to read what the word means and therefor hardly ever get around to doing it, hence it being a useless feature. SEND THE DEFINITION IN THE PUSH NOTIFICATION ALONG WITH THE WORD OF THE DAY PLEASE!!

Thanks!. This is a great tool for expanding your vocabulary and understanding of the English language. It’s easy to use. There’s a number of other things too. Download this app and let the English become more viable in your verbal language as well as the insightful understanding. Don’t miss out…download it now.

Offline mode doesn’t work. I paid for the pro mode so I could use the offline dictionary while flying, but in all these years, it’s never worked. I’ve had “download offline dictionary” switched on for years now and it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever. It works fine, but I’d like to get my money’s worth. Otherwise, there’s no difference than just downloading the free version.

Use almost everyday. I love this app but purchased the upgrade with expert English feature as well as grammar and tips. I have yet to find a word that had either feature available. It would be an awesome app if it actually offered these items. I would love to see an option to compose a sentence with the word of the day and sentence corrections as a true learning tool. Thanks !

My main dictionary. This is my default dictionary even though it forces me to use US spellings instead of the UK ones. I still can’t accept “favor” for “favour” or use “center” instead of “centre”. I sometimes override these small annoyances, hoping the recipient is a native English speaker and will not notice these small differences

Ok, for the US. This is a good app, but many of the definitions and articles are correct for the USA only - for example when talking about regionality, an article referenced “the south”, rather than “in the southern states of the US”. The articles presume the reader is in the United States. I also agree with other reviews that the articles are also very left-biased, without acknowledging that bias. The articles would have more credibility if they were written more impartially.

App less useful now. This has been the only app I use for quite a while. I write a lot of content and I’m always using the thesaurus feature as I write. Open app, dictate the word, get my synonyms then I’m out and back to writing. Recently though, every time I try to dictate a word the app opens the mic, sits there for a few secs then crashes immediately. Frustrated that my go to app now has this irritating glitch so much so that I now open up google to use their dictation feature so my writing flow doesn’t stop. When will this bug be fixed?

A lot more to be desired.. So far, this is justa database. It really feels like rookies coded this app. No creativity to allow an easier and consistent flow. It needs to recognize misspelled words better and it needs to stop freezing. I believed this is the “pro” version but it feels like the free app.

Search suggestion bug. This app is generally very good, however I notice that when I tap a search suggestion, I am brought to a totally different word. “Shallow”, “Superficial”, “Deep”, and “Pro bono” are some of the words I have been brought to when tapping a search suggestion. Different searches will bring me to the same word. For example, tapping the search suggestion for both “weapon” and “impenetrable” has taken me to the word “shallow”.

HPilot33. I like the dictionary and Thesaurus look 👀 ups. So far this App is nice 👍 to have and to keep abreast of terms being used on a Daily basis for People Who Like To Effectively Articulate an Issue/Viewpoints Using Smart Language Skills and Various Communications Are Important Life Skills To Learn from, Improve upon and keep up with in their daily lives! Education and Communications Skills, Math, Sciences🔬,History, Open and Freedom Of Thought, Debates, and Discussions are/Should Be a Two Way Street in a Democratic Society!

I love words.... ... and I use this app daily to quick-check myself when writing a reply, or just to look up a word. I've been using it since the beginning and love it. And it's freed up much space (and weight) on the bookshelf. I'll always love physical books, but you can't beat the app.

Everything’s good except the example section. Gave a five star. I love this app specially, the learning section which is mostly covered from Collins dictionary. Pronunciation perfect. However, the example sentences they used in the example section are WIRED and artificially difficult. Seems like copy pasted from elsewhere.

Another Longtime User and Love the App. Love All, but seriously wish the Word of the Day would show ‘Correct’ answer in a different color. Research shows the green used is difficult to read for a certain part of the population. Please consider changing the ‘Correct’ color to black to ‘reinforce’ the correct answer. MUCH THANKS!!!

Life Saver. A teacher with 39 years in the English classroom in my past, I don’t often need a dictionary. But then I do, and sometimes for the simplest of words. So this, dictionary has been a lifesaver of the most amazing kind. I quickly key in a word and voila there is an answer, so preserving the image of an ‘all knowing’ High School ELA Guru.

Help me here. What’s stopping this app from including all words? I just now looked up “rekel,” having run across it in a New Yorker article set in a Hasidic community. The app didn’t have it; I needed to switch to a web search. It’s not as if the dictionary needs to limit the number of its pages. I’ll pay for an expanded vocabulary. Why not offer an upgrade whenever my search comes up empty?

Having issues with IOS 14. 5 stars for my history with app, 1 star recently... Love the app, have been using for about 8 years, but... having some issues with it recently. I will type in a word and it will pull up a completely different word and definition. When I use speech recognition , it shuts down the app. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Great for iPhone, not for iPad. Longtime user of this App on my iPhone and use it on a regular basis. I recently invested in an iPad with a hardware keyboard, and wanted to use the dictionary side-by-side with my word processing needs—but can’t! For whatever reason, this App does not support split screen view nor, preferably, Slide Over. But even more annoying is this App is somehow fixed to portrait mode, so cannot be used alongside my keyboard case! Update: The App now supports portrait mode. BUT, still waiting for side-by-side or slide over!

Outstanding, Versatile Dictionary and SO MUCH more!. Quick, intuitive look-up of words, but the Word-of-the-Day, the Grammar nutshell Points, the etymology, the interesting "Most-Common Words of ---", are just a few of the intriguing features included in this Application. Certainly this App is more fun, interesting, and useful for the intellect than the insipid games of our era. Couldn’t have said it better.

An awesome app. Wish it had more. I’m an English learning who lives in the U.S for 1 year now and this app is really useful for any level learner. I got the paid version because I don’t want to see ads and I have satisfied with my purchase. I wish they would come out with an Mac OS version of the app or en extension for safari or chrome or any sort of accessible way. I don’t feel like the browsers is a good way to use.

Words. Every aspect of history contacts a barrage of language made up of many a word tethered together to create the conscious thought verbally. This is beauty. Dictionaries in general create more artistically woven conversation’s daily. It’s a joy to have it at my disposal. The app always works great too, though I seem to loose my saved purchases from time to time. Odd, but it’s cool

The Perfect Companion!. I love to read all kinds of books - even technical and scientific books on my iPhone or iPad and often encounter words for which I don’t know the meaning. The Dictionary app makes it quick and easy to look up a word and then get right back to my reading! Dictionary makes increasing my vocabulary truly fun!

Problem with audio. Audio only works with plug in headphones. Not sure about wireless headphones since I do not own them. Never had problem with audio with(out) headphones prior to last update. Other than this I still use the app as normal of course to look up definitions of words. Although I do rely a lot on hearing the words for the correct pronunciation.

Great resource for a bad speller. Really like using the microphone to search for words. As a native English speaker, I agree with foreign friends that English spelling was developed by people with a serious drinking problem. Also like the IPA pronunciations provided. I can immediately know the pronunciation of unfamiliar words, which can be confirmed by using the audio pronunciation function.

App isn’t functioning well since recent update. I have used this app for quite a few years and it has been fantastic. However, since the recent update, sometimes the definitions do not show. The thesaurus and other heading content shows. Because I have enjoyed using it for so long I’m giving it 4 stars, fix this frustrating glitch and I’ll upgrade it to 5.

Great design, great functionality. What more could you want? Click words, get definitions and more! Intuitive and beautiful to use. If only it could be integrated natively into iOS so that Dictionary lookups could be accessed easily from other apps.

Are You Tired Of “Dumbed Down” Language?. Have you ever felt you’re actually living in the future portrayed in the film “Idiocracy?” I tried it, loved it and purchased EVERY available IAP. This App provides an incredible amount of information, quickly and it’s always right at your fingertips. Highest Recommendation!

Great dictionary but. I use this dictionary all the time and it truly comes in handy when I don't have access to the internet! Highly recommend for one who wants a convenient dictionary. However, I would love if this could be integrated into the dictionary lookup feature native to iPhone, because I would replace the Apple and Oxford dictionaries with this alone.

Vital if you read or write. Yes, there are many ways to look up a word these days. Many apps are connected to dictionary programs. You still need this one because it is always available, goes deeper, gives more information. Absolutely essential. The paid version is ridiculously worth it.

Words Matter. This is by far my most favorite app. I’ve been using it for years. Told a friend of mine about it a few years ago, and from time to time we text each other with sentences using the word of the day. Thank you for having one of the most useful apps ever created. 🙏🏿

Very very useful. I don’t do many reviews but since this app has helped me numerous times with spellings, definitions, and the part of this app that has been especially useful, the thesaurus. I’ve first downloaded this app and paid for the full upgrade over 5 years ago and have nothing but praise for it. 5⭐️ ✌️🙂👍

I want dictionary, not a political app. After reading your political commentary on the definition of “emergency” and whether it describes what’s happening at our southern border, I’ll be deleting your app. Interesting that you end the commentary by saying our divisions, as a country, feel like an existential crisis, since you just exasperated the divisions with your commentary. You could have expanded on the meaning of the word and uses of the word and let the reader decide. Instead you took a position and didn’t give the other side of the argument fairly. Perhaps what makes it an “emergency” is that no one has done anything about for decades.

Issues with an another app. This is helpful dictionary is great. I have a problem with an another app of your company, I mean “thesaurus” which before IOS 11 was working perfectly, now it is not at all, it isn’t slow or stops suddenly, no, it does not totally work due to the compatibility issues. I paid for that app, either you develop it to 11 or give me my money back! Thank you so much.

Devs won’t respond (update). Bought the app for Apple Watch to have quick access to my favorites and the watch app will not sync recent and favorites. Reached via email, Twitter and Facebook and no response. Going to try and get a refund from Apple. Just downloaded WatchOS 5.2 and now the watch app fully works. Changed rating to 5 stars. Still never heard from devs.

Word of the day. I love the ‘word of the day’ I post the ‘word of the day’ on my Facebook page every day in hopes that more people are willing to expand their vocabulary. Society is becoming more and more comfortable with slang words and that just makes us look and sound as if we’re stupid people.

Taking the good with the bad!. The actual WORDS are Terrific~BUT(!), the sentences(which have 2B purchased!) are lacking, as are the "Word-Origins"! PLUS, sometimes the definitions are "anemic" AND most-of-the-time there are NO Synonyms to aid in a broader understanding of A WORD! Oh! Pleeeezzzzzz, Stop Repeating Once I've Already CHECKED IT OUT! Wake-Up, Developers~and, REMAIN AS SUCH...you're getting sloppy!!! :'~{ OH! WHAT "Grammar-Reminders"?!

Daily dose…. I’ve had great success fortifying other languages i have learned, and continue to learn, by taking a daily look at dictionaries on line. I discovered years ago that it works as well with my native language! I’m always intrigued with the connections words have with words in other languages I’m familiar with, and with the stories I read of their etymologies in general.

What A MULTI PURPOSE DIC!. It's the best especially when one needs medical or the encyclopedia variations! when I’m reading a paper/report often times I Need the document clarified So therefore I need the medical version or looking for an extended view or synonym. I purchased the extension and as far as I am concerned it was the best money (inexpensive too) I be spent on an app!

Pronunciation Key Missing. This app has many good features. Short articles about words, meanings and origin are interesting and fun. I really miss having the IPA pronunciation key which used to be an option. Now we only have the audible. Nov 2019: Your latest update fails to improve on what I felt made this the best app for word lovers. The past words no longer includes brief meanings in the same box. Fancy, colorful, but not particularly useful.

This dictionary. This is my normal everyday go to dictionary for when I am studying the word of God. I t has been valuable in my meditations many times in understanding a greater depth . Thank you for making it a resource that is a benefit to my growth as a person and for prayer for all the nations of this world we live in. He who is wise wins souls and the understanding of language helps us in this pursuit.

Dropping Apple Watch. I have no problem paying for this app after they drop the support for the Apple Watch in the free version. Now they stoped supporting Apple Watch on the paid version the one feature that I actually use all the time. How does any developer think it’s right to drop features in a paid version of an app. Buy this today and it’ll be gone by tomorrow. What a joke. Update - Happy to see that the watch has been included with this last update.

So good, but it misses the mark. I’ve used this app for a long time and have enjoyed the various educational amenities that the developers offer through it. It is, definitely, a superb tool to have at my disposal when I am seeking diverse language for my professional writing. At times, the articles are very informative. I love it. The downside to the app is the political bias found in numerous articles, many times presented without a solid foundation. It attempts to push an agenda to change culture based on opinion through a medium that is trusted based on its scholastic basis. It insults academia.

Excellent resource. I love this app for many reasons. It is invaluable for business, personal, for artistic & creative expression & when one needs to be professional in their correspondences. This app is invaluable & I highly reccomend it for anyone who wants to improve or expand their vocabulary & how to correctly annunciate new words.

An Excellent Source -- A Must Have. This is the one of the best resources I have come across yet! I love the historical tidbits and the daily words generated to help me improve my vocabulary. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to challenge and grow in their literary skills! And it is a dream to store on the iPhone or iPad or any smart phone that can access this app!

Great app, however............ Great App, however I’m not too stoked they axed the Thesaurus App both for iPhone and IPad, both which cost me my hard earned money, not too mention there WAS in-app purchases in the thesaurus app, I whole-heartedly supported without a question and then BAM, they turn around and stab their supporters in the backs and kill the thesaurus app

Knowledge is power. Through the use of this app one has the ability to expand our use and understanding of words. It stimulates the mind. Before smart devices a dictionary was always kept within arms reach.

Disappointing. Since the last “ upgrade” of this app i find it very disappointing. I use on my phone and screen layouts and organization are no where near as clear as previously. I will start looking for a replacement.
