    Very well rounded dictionary and thesaurus. They also have a printed version of the“Writers thesaurus“. It would be great if they made an app out of it.
  • Only sort of functional

    I am a reading therapist for dyslexic students. We have found this app to be more user friendly than a Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus. I am using this app successfully with upper elementary students.
  • Great Resource

    Very annoying. I’m also disappointed that I purchased the MW dictionary for the iPhone a while ago, and now I have to pay for it again because they simply deprecated the app and rolled out this one. The app itself is trivial. It’s the words I’m buying. They should have enabled me to upgrade to the new app for a small charge. Update: the new app is actually worse than the old app. I want a quick dictionary/thesaurus app. This is a clunky app that gets in the way of efficiently looking up words.

    Needs more Definitions & etymology. Not as comprehensive as many other dictionaries.
  • No thesaurus

    I paid $18 for a dictionary and THESAURUS but only got a dictionary. I feel cheated and want my money back.
