User reviews

I've had this app for years and usually rely on it to look up definitions and synonyms. Lately, when I look up words, the app says, "No results found," even when the words are spelled correctly and can easily be found using Google. I was attempting to turn on word of the day notifications, but the app says that my notifications have been disabled. Even after I turned them on, I am still getting an error message. I also think the words of the day are too simple. Searching for another app to use!!

So, I have never had problems with this app until now. It takes forever to load AND keeps getting interrupted by some ad (I presume) that doesn't open but won't close via X. So, I have to get out of the app completely, then open back up & wait...& wait...& wait. What gives? Thanks.

This app used to be good & was my favorite dictionary for a long time. Now doesn't even receive frequent updates anymore & hasn't been updated in a while. Crashes on numerous occasions. Takes longer than normal to load at times. How can you be a good app when you no longer receive the updates that it requires for you to be competitive. Please update so I can reinstall...
