Very easy to navigate, and things but i feel like there should be a option ti search by definition, im not sure if it has this but if not then add a thing where you can hear the word? overall a pretty good app, has helped me increase my vocabulary a little. I wish there was also a thing where you could like be quized but they might not add that bc it could de-shape the app from its original purpose.

It only gets three. It doesn't give the list of derivative words; something which gives me pleasure and a better repertoire of smoken hot vocabulary words to impiously press (impress) any readers I might have. If you add all the features that are on you web page, you got me. I'll give you a years subscription.

I enjoy the app. Ive used the website for years and finally just downloaded the app a couple months ago. The only thing I'd like to see change is when I highlight a word I'd like to easily press define for the non-english words the same way I could from the website. However It's only a few seconds to just switch to the web and search it. I still give 5 stars anyway :)
