    Contains ads that cannot be skipped and stay in place, requiring you to close and re-open the app to continue use

    It is so handy to have a dictionary in my pocket. My curiosity about words can be satisfied immediately.

    perhaps i am over reacting to something minor due the unordinary strength of my morning coffee, but this morning i was reading a book. not to trumpet my own kazoo but i read for pleasure. while reading, hold applause, i came across a word unfamiliar to me. trepanations. i went to look it up on the app, only to have it say that this word is a premium word and i must pay a subscription to have access. as a child i was taught that dictionaries were supposed to be the source of knowledge, and the pot at the end of the rainbow of a curious mind. what a load of crap that turned out to be. apparently, they are dolling out only specific words to keep us all in the dark! WE DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT TREPANATIONS MEAN!!!!! Stop withholding trepanations from us!!! WE. WANT. TREPANATIONS. NOW.

    I’ve downloaded almost every dictionary app and this one is by far the best. I absolutely love the Word of the Day and all the mini quizzes. I also quite like how the ads aren’t in your face like most apps. The only problem I have with the app is that you have to pay for a membership for some words. But, I really do love this app and would highly recommend it.

    I find it unnessery to have a password to look up a word
  • Widget Not Updating

    The app is great when it’s open. I got it for the word of the day widget to learn a new word by glancing at it daily, and it doesn’t update daily- it’s currently stuck 16 days in the past and I can open it to see today’s word, but when I close the app the widget is still stuck in the past- disappointing.

    provides clear concise meaning of words or Phases, being able to hear pronunciation is added plus
  • Good app

    I love the app but i believe you are being hacked into. I keep getting pop up ads for dumb random things that make no since and they have taken over your app completely. I can not use any features due to ads constantly popping up and freezing up this app. Please fix.

  • Great idea, lacking execution

    I wanted something that would work as an informational widget, feeding me new content daily. Ended up downloading this app, and it works, but the words of the day have stopped refreshing. So you have to delete the widget and add again. If that could get updated this would be 5 stars.
